WATER
Water is the elixir of life, but it is also complex. Depending on our water's source, water can carry pollutants, microplastics, heavy metals, microbes, and bacteria. Additionally, chemically-added treatments like fluoride, chlorine or chloramine and the types of plumbing, soldering and fixtures used in our homes can further add to what can be found in our water. All of these variable components determine our water safety and quality, and can impact our health. Learning what is in your specific water supply is a crucial first step in knowing what to filter out. Whether you want to, or have already started using a water filter, conducting a third-party water test is the best way to know the composition of your specific water and ensure that you are using the right filter for your needs.
Elizabeth can help recommend the right test for you, help interpret your results, and find ways to protect your family’s water whether you rent or own your home. If you live in a home on wheels, or spend your free time on-the-go, Elizabeth can also help you to find a filter to protect your family no matter where your travels take you!
