Drinking unclean water is something that most people in the United States do not think will affect them. However, in the United States alone, consuming unclean drinking water is the cause of more than 600,000 ER visits, 110,000 hospitalizations, and even 6,600 deaths. 

Additionally, even if drinking unclean water doesn’t make you sick, it isn’t healthy and should be avoided. The problem is that most people don’t even realize they’re drinking unclean water. If you require water filtration systems for your industrial site, Clowe & Cowan can help. Contact us online or call (915) 593-8833 to learn more.

Removes Harmful Contaminants 

The main reason that water filtration systems in El Paso can improve health is because they remove harmful contaminants, including the following. 

• Aluminum 
• Arsenic 
• Lead 
• Chlorine 
• Fluoride 

Each of these contaminants is found in city and/or well water to a certain degree. Chlorine, for instance, is deliberately added to city water to purify it and remove harmful contaminants. While it does a great job of this, it is unwise to consume chlorine in any amount. 

Other contaminants found naturally in water include lead, arsenic, aluminum, and fluoride, all of which are considered toxic and could be deadly in large amounts. Contact us for a water test to find out what else you might be ingesting! 

Could Reduce Your Risk of Cancer 

While the idea of clean drinking water reducing your risk of cancer was once considered an old wives’ tale, there is definitely truth to the idea. City lines, wells, and other sources of unfiltered drinking water are riddled with known carcinogens, such as arsenic and lead, and consuming them in large amounts can cause cancer. Because water filtration systems remove these carcinogens, they reduce your risk of developing certain types of cancer. 

You’ll Likely Drink More Water 

As a general rule, adults are supposed to drink around one gallon of water each day, and kids are supposed to drink roughly 6 to 8 cups per day. However, because unfiltered water from your tap usually tastes and smells bad, people rarely drink the recommended amount of water each day. 

Therefore, by investing in El Paso water filtration systems that improve the smell and taste of your water, you’re more likely to consume larger amounts. In so doing, your body will get the hydration it needs to function, fight off diseases, and maintain healthy blood flow. 

Eliminates Harmful Bacteria 

While certain types of bacteria are important for your gut health, they typically aren’t found in your drinking water. Instead, it’s usually packed with harmful bacteria known to cause diseases and illnesses. Because water filtration systems remove these bacteria, you’re less likely to contract a dangerous bacterial disease, such as giardia.
