Most houses built before 1986 (my lovely 1940 cottage included) have lead pipes. We drink water every day (surprise, i know!). Lead in water can cause a number of health problems, including high blood pressure, attention disorders and more.
Hold on- even if you live in a newer home and have "lead free piping", the EPA states that the new piping contain as much as 8 percent lead!!
Basically, the bottom line here is that we need to clean our water. The lead is not coming from source water, but from the very house we live in. Therefore we have to clean it before we drink it. Now, most of us would love to have a reverse osmosis system, remove the lead and be good to go. But, most of us also don't have thousands to spend on installation of such systems.
Did you know that most pitcher filters DO NOT remove lead?! But, there is of course one that does- and that is the Get Clean Water pitcher from Shaklee. It outperforms the other pitcher filters my a mile in removing all contaminants. AND it filters out lead. AND it is eco friendly too.
The filters are made from coconut fibers, and sustainable. They also last twice as long as any of the other filters.
Get this pitcher for your family. Give it as a gift to anyone you care about. And drink some fresh clean water.
