Drinking a lot of water seems to be the answer to many common ailments, and it’s also the advice that many people hear when they are looking for ways to live a healthier lifestyle. But if your home has poor water quality, it can be hard to drink enough water and you could actually end up suffering from some negative health effects. We want you to get the most out of the water you consume, so today we’re going to talk about the characteristics and benefits of high quality drinking water and how you can ensure you have access to great drinking water at home every single day!
What are the characteristics of high quality drinking water?
When it comes to quality, the perfect glass of drinking water would like something like this:
- Hardness levels between 0-1 grains per gallon
- pH levels between 6.5-8.5
- Water is clear with no “floaties” or altered colors
- No strange smells or tastes
- No traces of chemicals, metals, bacteria, viruses, drugs or any other contaminants
What are the benefits of high quality drinking water?
There are tons of great benefits to consuming high quality drinking water, the most immediate of which is that your water will taste delicious. Without any weird tastes or smells, every glass of high quality water will taste perfect and refreshing.
Because high quality drinking water tastes great, you’ll end up drinking more of it at home. This will make it much easier to avoid sugary beverages like soda and sports drinks. And since drinking water is great for your body, you’ll feel better on a day-to-day basis and improve your overall health.
In addition, consuming high quality drinking water will keep you protected from the short- and long-term health effects that have been associated with exposure to many of the most common drinking water contaminants.
How can you ensure you have high quality drinking water at home?
North Carolina Water Consultants offers many great products that will purify your home’s water and provide you with a constant source of high quality drinking water. If the quality of your drinking water is your main concern, you might consider installing an under-the-sink reverse osmosis filter at your main kitchen tap. If you’d like to have access to filtered water at every single tap in your home (including your showers), a whole house filtration system would be a great option.
