Looking for drinking water containers? A drinking water container might seem like a simple thing, with little cause for concern or caution. It might seem like just a matter of "taste". But, there are some facts that you should know.
I'm going to assume that you have a good home purification system that removes contaminants such as lead, chlorine, THMs, VOCs, cysts, herbicides, pesticides, medications and other traces that are unsafe and unhealthy for consumption. So, you have the purest water that there is.
You even have a shower head filter, because you know that chemical contaminants can be absorbed through the skin. But, when you go to buy drinking water containers, you might just be looking for a nice color, something that matches your jogging outfit. You should be more concerned about what materials are used to make your new drinking water container.
For many reasons, glass is the best material for drinking water containers. But, in some cases, like for hiking or jogging, it is just more practical to have plastic or polycarbonate. Drop a glass drinking water container down a mountainside and not only will you have no fresh water, but you'll end up polluting the hillside with shattered glass.
So, when you are shopping for unbreakable drinking water containers, be sure to look for a label that says "BPA-Free."
As a liquid sits in a drinking water container, compounds used to make that container seep into the liquid. That's why there is a different "taste" to waters stored in plastic. If it's flavored, then you may not recognize the taste, but the compounds are in there, just the same.
The chemical composition of glass is different. Plastics break down over time, particularly with repeated washings. Glass will pretty much last forever.
You can actually "see" this happening as you reuse plastic drinking water containers. The outer surface becomes less smooth. The same thing is going on inside the bottle.
The heat from the dishwasher and caustic dish washing detergents cause further breakdown of the polymers, so if you typically use a drinking water container for a long period of time, there will be some chemicals absorption any time your purified water is put into the drinking water container.
Now, you are probably wondering what BPA is and why you should be worried about it.
As far back as the 1930s when they first began the mass production of polymers, BPA was suspected of being hazardous to humans. Scientific studies were conducted over a period of ten years beginning in 1997.
Researchers learned that, in the body, BPA acts like the hormone estrogen and disrupts the function and production of the body's own hormones. The compound also disrupts the function of the endocrine system, including the thyroid and other glands. It also causes changes in breast and prostate tissue that predispose the cells to cancer.
Manufacturers have found acceptable safer replacements for BPA and some of them are using them, as a health precaution. So, when you are shopping for drinking water containers, the best choices are glass, but when an unbreakable choice is needed, look for BPA-free.
If you are wondering about Whirlpool reverse osmosis, what is it? Perhaps I can help.
Reverse osmosis filtering systems are commonly used to improve the water-quality for drinking and cooking. They generally include a number of steps:a sediment filter membrane to trap particles such as calcium carbonate and rust
a second membrane with smaller pores
activated carbon filter to trap chlorine and organic chemicals to prevent them degrading the other membranes
a thin composite membrane
additional carbon filter to remove remaining chemicals
some machines also have an ultra violet lamp to disinfect any remaining microbes
These appliances are commonly used in industrial settings and a commercial purifier is available as well as one for the normal house hold. Some models can be placed on the counter top whereas others have an undersink storage tank. The pump and feed will need to be fitted into your mains and wastewater outlet, so although premier machines come with a full profile and fitting instructions, you may prefer to find a plumber.
The American National Standards Institute is in place to assure the health and safety of consumers and to help protect the environment and the ANSI standard for water-filters is 58. The Whirlpool reverse osmosis or the Wher25 is one such filter that meets the criteria and another is the undersink machine made by Kenmore.
This particular brand of filtration machine is also approved for use and available in:canadaargentinaaustralia
Other reverse osmosis filtering systems brands on the market include:kinetico
avantapure
culligan
What can you do to make sure that the water in your tap is not laced with a cocktail of waste, chemicals and drugs?
There are several measures you can take to find out what's in your water and it is important that you do not just sit back and assume that it is all right. This is particularly important since an investigation wide ranging from Los Angeles to New York found steroids, pain medication and antibiotics in municipal water supplies. You can also assume that it contains:lead
farming chemicals
benzene
voc's
chlorine
tce
lindane
atrazine
cysts
alachor
mtbe
It doesn't make you feel to good, does it? Its no good relying on drinking bottled-water either as there are no governments standards covering what goes into the bottle and many tested contained large amounts of bacteria.
Practical steps
Measures you can take to ensure purer water flows from your faucets:first its a good idea to contact your municipal water department and see what information they can give you tests which may have been done for hormones and med's - your city will also have a water-quality report, which can be helpful in ascertaining specific problems - this will aid your awareness of the whole problem.you can help this ever escalating problem by ensuring that you do not contribute to contaminating your water supplyby taking any unused meds back to the pharmacist instead of tipping them down the sink or toiletthen you can learn as much as possible about the various kinds of systems available and act on it to remove the dangers
Too good to be true
From what you have read above you may think that reverse-osmoses sounds too good to be true. In this case you will be absolutely right, as they present several problems. Firstly this method works in the same way as distillation and completely strips the water of minerals essential to your health. Wastage is extreme and costly as are the replacement proprietary filters.
However there is another option in the form of a multi filtration system, so what you really need to do is find a good website that will explain the ins and outs of whirlpool reverse osmosis and present you with the best available options - read on to find out more:

When searching for facts about the best water filtration systems, it's a good idea to consider the following question, reverse osmosis reviews, do they tell it all? The answer is emphatically no!
Much of the problem lies in the fact that not all systems are meant for the same purpose and if you use a well for your water, it will contain different contaminants than if you receive it via a reservoir. So you really need to understand the efficiency level of these machines as well as their capabilities. Websites that compare with reviews often fall short and many are just hyped up marketing copy and useless jargon.
Popular approved filter systems in Australia, Argentina, Canada, which are used for reviews on American websites include:
Whirlpool (wher 25)
AvantaPure
Culligan
Kinetico
Chlorine degrades membranes
Unfortunately a review will not tell you whether the membrane used in the machine is a cheap generic one, so this is the first thing that you need to learn about. If you water has been treated in a reservoir, they will use chlorine which degrades membranes regardless. Here you will be better looking for a multi filtration purifier.
If you are reading a customer review you will find it's uncommon for them to talk about the removal of contaminants and you may read:
tasted my first glass of water today, what a difference
it took the plumber longer to install than I expected
they use Lasco fittings
I highly recommend
Or:
issues with customer service quickly resolved
I recommend to my family and friends
my family loves this instant water
the installation was a breeze
To be honest these tell you absolutely nothing. You may have other people explaining that the filters are easy to change, what the storage tank looks like or that they use it to cook their pasta and potatoes in, but to learn anything of value, you will need to read the product performance data to learn about the really important high tech pointers.
Perhaps you will be lucky enough to come across a website that has done all the hard work for you and will really give you the low down on osmosis and other systems and what to look out for. If you are really impatient then you may be even tempted to skip the rest of the article and look to the bottom of the page for the answers. However I hope you will stay around a little longer.
Some reverse osmosis reviews will provide you with ratings out of five or ten, but this is just a personal opinion on the likes of the comments above.
Multi filtration offers a better solution
A review will not tell you how these systems waste water and will cost you much more to run than a multi filtration system or that you will either still be drinking certain pollutants or else water that is completely devoid of essential minerals. They will not explain about silver nitrate that is often used alongside carbon crystals and the dangers relating to this. It's no good keeping your eyes shut to the lack of information in a review.
You may even prefer a whole house multi filtration machine when you learn about the dangers or showering and bathing in contaminated water. In order to learn the whole truth, don't rely on reverse osmosis reviews, instead read on to find out more:
