The Dangers of Microplastics AND NANOPLASTICS in Drinking Water

Microplastics and nanoplastics are tiny plastic particles about the diameter of a standard pencil's eraser and much smaller. They shed off of things that are made from plastic and are increasingly found in our drinking water, raising concerns about their potential health effects. These tiny particles can carry toxic chemicals and pollutants, which can be ingested and accumulate in our bodies. This can lead to various health issues, including inflammation, immune system disruption, and cancer, etc.  CNN reports that we may ingest a credit card's worth of plastic in a week (article from CNN 11/02/2022) others say it isn't that much... in one week.

​Well, we say ingesting ANY amount of plastic (in one week or one year), especially in your water is, quite frankly, too much! A water treatment system is one of the best ways to help curb the amount of plastic coming out of your tap.

How Water Treatment Systems Can Help
While most water treatment systems, such as water softeners and reverse osmosis units cannot eliminate all, they are designed to remove some microplastics and other contaminants from your drinking water. These systems provide an effective solution to help ensure that your water is cleaner and better for you.
​
Benefits of a Water Treatment System:

• Removes some harmful contaminants
• Improves water taste and odor
• Reduces some health risks
• Protects household appliances
• Provides clean and better water for your family

The Benefits of Tap Water Over Bottled Water
Bottled water often contains higher levels of microplastics and nanoplastics compared to tap water. Additionally, the production and disposal of plastic bottles contribute to environmental pollution. By using a water treatment system, you can enjoy clean tap water that’s better for you AND help protect the environment.

Whether it's your health, your home, or your appliances a water treatment system is one of the best ways to help ensure that you're doing the best for YOU and YOUR family.
