Drinking Water Scams Revealed
Read this article before you consider paying for your drinking water.
Wouldn’t it be nice to stop poisoning ourselves with polluted or unhealthy drinking water? I, for one, felt that I would love to find a source of safe inexpensive drinking water. (Ideally, I’d love to turn on the tap, and out it would flow!)
Whether it’s curing cancer with magnets or herbal wonder-remedies or Vioxx, we’ve all seen the fantastic claims people make about their health products AND about how your whole life will be changed! I can tell you right now that 90% are frauds. You may even have fallen prey to some of these scams, selling you the latest fad.
Me too. I’ve bought so many kinds of drinking water, I can’t recall. (If a lie is repeated often enough, it becomes “the truth”).
Finally, after many disappointments I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this desire we all have to make sure that our most basic nutrient — water — won’t make us sick.
- I checked out endless commercial websites and a number of university and government sites; and I was dismayed at what I repeatedly found:
- Outdated information or info repeated from other websites
- Wild and sensational claims
- No refunds, etc.
I already knew that we can’t trust our tap water because of the presence of up to 2000 contaminants.
Specifically, I found:
a) Bottled Water: a real mish-mash of quality, often no more than filtered tap water sold at outrageous mark-ups
b) Reverse-osmosis and distilled water: completely ignored the medical evidence of the dangers in the ongoing drinking of water that is void of minerals, acid in nature and oxidizing.
I quickly realized that these products were either useless, overpriced or potentially harmful long-term. And the companies were smiling all the way to the bank.
Nevertheless I was able to find products that were well-researched and legitimate. I found two websites providing quality products and a wealth of information; http://www.waterfiltercanada.com and http://www.belkraft.com (While the first of these sites does not address the problem of acidity in drinking water, it is straightforward in its assessment of what various water filters do.)
I hope that you’re not misled by false claims, and take a look at these resources, for the sake of your health.
Here is an article from CBC about people paying over 8000.00 for a water softener from a door to door salesman who made false claims and gave the impression he was with the government. Click HERE to read more.
We receive calls regularly from people who have paid up 10 times more than they needed to. You don’t always get what you pay for. This is why the internet is helpful. We now can find the best quality for the lowest price. Our products are not cheap because they are made in Canada and most have a 50 year warranty. But our prices can’t be beat because we are not retail and buying factory direct saves a lot of money. Why spend over 1000.00 or more on a water purifier when you can get the best possible water for as little as 299.00.
