A reason to test your drinking water |
Is Water Testing Necessary?
Cancer, kidney damage, neurological harm, and plumbing problems. Drinking water could cause any one of these problems…along with hundreds of others. While water testing is performed on city water before it leaves the processing plants and pumping stations, it isn’t always tested once it runs through underground pipes and enters someone’s home. What’s worse, water from cisterns and wells have sometimes never been tested at all.
What most people find surprising is how easy it is for anyone to test drinking water from home. They wouldn’t need to involve government officials, they wouldn’t have to send samples off to a lab, and they can test the water in just a few minutes. On top of all that, it’s affordable! For less than $20, anyone can get a water testing kit, and discover exactly what they’re drinking.
What do Water Testing Kits Reveal?
A Watersafe® testing kit from Silver Lake Research can uncover all kinds of contaminates in drinking water. This easy to use kit gives an accurate readout of hardness levels, bacteria, lead, and more. There’s never any reason to drink untested water again.
· Bacteria Test: E.coli can cause illness or even death. Water-borne bacteria are responsible for thousands of cases of illness every year. Use a water testing kit to discover what’s swimming in your water before you put it in your mouth.
· Lead: Even low levels of lead in drinking water is dangerous. It often enters household drinking water through plumbing fixtures and old pipes (after it’s left the water facility)…so a water testing kit at home is the only way to detect it.
· Pesticides: Pesticides enter drinking water from crops and can cause severe illness. Use water testing kits to get laboratory-level accuracy and find out how much of it is still in your water, along with what the EPA determines is a ‘safe’ level.
· Nitrates: Nitrates and nitrites come from fertilizers used in crops and from animal waste. Water contamination is harmful (especially to children and small animals), yet alarmingly common. Use water testing kits to find out if your levels are safe.
· Chlorine and PH: The chemicals added to your water by processing plants kill germs, but can cause other problems. High chlorine levels increase risk of cancer. High PH levels can create plumbing problems and make heavy metals (like lead) leach into your water. Use the water testing kit to find problems before they cause harmful side effects.
· Hardness: Hard water causes the lime buildup in your pipes and appliances. Calcium deposits can actually fill a water heater, sending your energy costs through the roof. It also reacts with laundry detergent and wears and fades clothes up to 15% faster. Use a water testing kit to find out how hard your water is, and if you really need a water softener.
Test your water now with a Watersafe® testing kit from Silver Lake Research. It’s the safest and most affordable way to get laboratory accuracy from home. It takes only a few minutes to gain the assurance you need that your water is safe to drink. Go to www.watersafetestkits.com to purchase your water testing kit.
