How Does Your Water Taste?Friday, December 5, 2014 - by Water2Drink![]() Recently, residents of Abilene, #Texas, have noticed an
unusual taste and/or odor in their drinking water. KTXS12 News reports that, in the city’s news
release, the City of Abilene says, “the water is safe to drink.” If you noticed an unusual taste or odor in your
local drinking water, would you be reassured by that statement?
According to the news release from the City of #Abilene, the
Water Department staff is experimenting with various solutions to solve the
problem, including using “additional treatment chemicals to address the issue.” While we all have heard that Everything Is Bigger In Texas, is putting
more chemicals into the water supply a good thing for consumer health?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets water quality
standards for consumer protection. These
standards are for a minimum of public safety, and as a consumer you need
to ask yourself if minimum EPA standards are good enough for you and your
family. It should also be noted that the
EPA does not enforce #waterquality standards for taste or odor compounds that
do not pose a health risk to the public.
The safest, easiest solution is to use a high quality
point-of-use Multipure Drinking Water System.
Water2Drink.com sells only #Multipure Drinking Water Systems. We have found that Multipure’s unique solid carbon
block filter provides a wide range of #contaminant reduction that affects both
the healthfulness and the aesthetic properties (taste and odor) of water. Multipure is one of the few companies whose
products are tested and certified by NSF International to reduce such a wide
array of drinking water contaminants.
