The Shocking Truth About Water Quality in the USA

August is National Water Quality Awareness Month. You’re probably already aware that our tap water is in a state of crisis: with new stories breaking every day about how bad things really are, it’s time to firm up a few facts.

The Shocking Truth About Water Quality in the USA

1. What Contaminants Are in Your Water?

2. What Dangerous Contaminants are in Your Water?

3. What’s in the Ground Water?

4. How Does Lead Get into Your Water?

5. Is Bottled Water the Answer?

6. Is YOUR Tap Water Safe to Drink?

7. How Does a Water Ionizer Help with Water Quality?

1. What Contaminants Are in Your Water?

Lots, but not all are bad ones. This is only because the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) defines anything that isn’t actually a water molecule as a contaminant. In other words, even essential minerals in water are technically contaminants.

Of course, for the most part, we’re not worried about dissolved minerals being present – it’s the toxic contaminants that we’re concerned about.

2. What Dangerous Contaminants are in Your Water?

That’s the right question to ask. Potentially, lots of them. There are a bunch of reasons for this, among them:

Old, cracked pipelines
An increase in the use of dangerous industrial chemicals
An increase in the use of toxic herbicides, pesticides and other chemical soil treatments
Aging water infrastructure and inadequate water processing facilities
Population increases

Toxic tap water contamination is a huge problem. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) break down the list into physical, chemical, biological and radiological categories, so that toxins are generally referred to as one of the following:

Physical sediment or organic material
Naturally occurring or man-made chemicals
Microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, viruses and other biological elements
Radiation-emitting elements such as plutonium, cesium and uranium

3. What’s in the Groundwater?

Millions of homes across the US rely on groundwater for drinking water. Over half of the country has municipal or well water from groundwater supplies. That’s potentially a problem as it can become contaminated easily, with:

Gasoline
Oil
Human waste from ill-maintained septic systems
Hazardous waste
Battery acid, paint, household cleaners etc. from landfill
Agricultural run-off
Fertilizer
Pesticides
Herbicides
Road salt

4. How Does Lead Get into Your Water?

The prevalence of lead in tap water is extremely worrying. It can have a catastrophic impact on health – particularly that of children – and yet it has no taste or smell and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Lead often gets into the water supply via corroded pipes, solder and holding tanks, and is rife in homes, schools and communities across the country.

Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and EPA agree that there’s no safe amount of lead that can be consumed.

5. Is Bottled Water the Answer?

In short, no it isn’t. Apart from those plastic bottles being an environmental disaster, and the high cost, bottled water can bring its own risk of contamination, with plastic bottles leaching chemicals into the water itself.

In addition, bottled water is frequently just tap water that’s been filtered and bottled.

In other words, there is little to recommend switching to bottled water.

6. Is YOUR Tap Water Safe to Drink?

If it is, then you’re one of the lucky ones: around half of all homes in the US have radiation in their water, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), and tens of millions of Americans live day to day without drinkable water.

7. How Does a Water Ionizer Help with Water Quality?

Tap and jug filters help a little with reducing contaminants from water, but that’s not enough. Reverse osmosis machines remove contaminants, but they cannot differentiate between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ elements, and so remove all essential minerals that are vital for health.

A Tyent water ionizer is different. Plumbed into your regular water supply, Tyent filters remove deadly toxins, while leaving essential minerals intact and bioavailable.

Worried about the ‘Erin Brockovich Chemical,’ otherwise known as Chromium 6? Our 4-Bank Chromium-6 Filtration System is certified by the Water Quality Association and removes:

99.9% of Chromium-6

90-95% of fluoride

99% of lead

Radium

Mercury

Nickel

Iron

Hydrogen Sulfide

Manganese

Chloramines

5 Reasons Why Buying a Chemical-Free Ionizer Matters

Not all water ionizers are chemical-free. In fact, some depend on chemicals in order to function.

5 Reasons Why Buying a Chemical Free Ionizer Matters

Why should you avoid chemical water ionizers and install a water ionizer machine that’s chemical-free? Let’s look at the issues here:

1. Water ionizers are designed to filter out undesirable contaminants – including drug residues and chemicals from your source water. It seems counterproductive to buy a water ionizer that potentially adds chemicals to your water, when most people are seeking to eliminate them!

2. Chemicals are frequently used as a cheaper, less evolved and less technically advanced alternative to certain aspects of water ionizer engineering. Filtration not quite good enough? Inadequate levels of electrolysis power? Apply a chemical fix. The most innovative, well-built water ionizers simply don’t need them.

3. Do you have young kids? A child’s organs, body and metabolism are not the same as those of a full-grown adult. Some water ionizer companies use sodium hypochlorite to enable their machines to function. Its more common name is “bleach.” Although the chemical residues are not intended to be drunk and are supposedly confined to the acidic water, there is still the risk of trace amounts remaining in the parts of the unit that process alkaline drinking water. Who wants their kids drinking even minute amounts of bleach?

4. When exposed to the electrolysis process, sodium hypochlorite produces toxic gas. Erm…water ionizers are supposed to help make us more healthy, right?

5. As if that isn’t enough, the Kangen Enagic ‘Flagship’ SD-501 water ionizer features a chemical injection port right at the front of the machine for the purpose of adding a ‘performance-enhancing’ shot of glycerophosphoric acid calcium. The question is, why?

Chemical-Free: Don’t Settle For Less

Tyent has a different approach. Tyent water ionizers are built from the ground up by some of the best water ionizer engineers in the industry, using nothing but premium materials.

We make sure that every element, from our powerful, Solid/Mesh Hybrid Plates to our unbeatable, medical-grade filters deliver incredible performance and ultimately, the best-tasting, antioxidant-rich hydrogen water possible.

Detox Your Veggies!

We all know that we need to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to stay healthy. Although most types of frozen, canned and dried produce count towards your daily total, nothing beats the taste of fresh, seasonal fruit and veggies.

How clean are your vegetables?

What’s On Our Veggies?

But have you wondered about how those lovely tomatoes, salad leaves and bell peppers are produced? If you buy organic or grow your own, then you can skip this. However, if – like so many of us – you tend to grab what’s on offer or looks great in the store display or farmer’s market, then read on.

Did you know that much of the deliciously tempting produce on offer is grown with the help of pesticides and herbicides? Chances are that you do know that, but where’s the harm when we can just wash off any nasty toxic residue before eating?

This Doesn’t Wash Easily

Well, think about it for a moment. If those herbicides and pesticides could be washed off, they wouldn’t be doing a very good job, would they? After all, if all it takes is a drop of rain to rinse away the oil-based chemicals, then what’s the use of them?

The reality is that most pesticides don’t wash off. Rinsing a bell pepper under the tap is of very limited benefit.

The Tyent Turbo Water Difference

But how about giving your fresh fruit and vegetables a soak in alkaline Tyent Turbo Water? With a higher pH than tap water, Tyent Turbo Water emulsifies the pesticides and herbicides, lifting away the chemicals and rinsing them clean away.

Check out our brilliant video to show clearly how the water literally changes color as the Turbo Water removes the pesticide residue from those tomatoes! Once you know how much bad stuff is clinging to your food, it’s hard to go back to eating it without first soaking in Tyent Turbo Water! You can even save money by not buying organic produce anymore!

Are You Growing Your Own?

We’re approaching the time of year when many people start sowing seeds to try to grow a few backyard veggies. Have you been bitten by the grow-your-own bug yet? What will be growing in your window boxes and borders this summer?

Official: Housework Might Be Harming Your Health

“Housework? It can’t kill you, but why take the risk?” goes the fridge magnet/meme/Birthday card for your sister.

But within that little lol, is a grain of truth. Research just published in the American Thoracic Society’s Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine has found that using chemical-laden cleaning products every day has a detrimental effect on lung health. If you use cleaning sprays regularly, then the impact can be the equivalent of smoking a full pack of cigarettes every day.

Breaking News: Cleaning really is bad for your health.

The Dangers of Chemical Cleaners

The research is pretty thorough, with scientists following 6000 test subjects over a 20-year period. The findings observe that the chemicals inhaled from everyday use of cleaning products irritate the delicate mucous membrane lining the lungs, causing long-term damage and increasing the risk of developing asthma.

“The take home message of this study is that in the long run cleaning chemicals very likely cause rather substantial damage to your lungs.”

~ Øistein Svanes, Institute of Medicine, University of Bergen

Tyent USA, Seriously Cleaning Up Tap Water

Some Serious Reasons to Drink Tyent Water

Tyent Water. To those in the know, those two words signify water that is cleaner than well water, purer than bottled water, and safer than tap water.

In fact, Tyent Water is all those things and so much more.

It begins with our award-winning models of ionized alkaline water purifiers. To get great water you need great filters. Tyent filters are unmatched in the industry at removing or reducing the presence of dangerous and potentially harmful chemicals found in the water that flows from your faucet at home.

After filtering out the impurities, the water is then passed over our platinum dipped plates that create the ionization.

Some argue that while admittedly, there are hundreds of chemicals in the municipal water we drink, they are in such small doses as to be rendered harmless or the government wouldn’t allow them to be in there. Yeah right.

I would argue the opposite is true. While some chemicals are indeed necessary to improve the quality of the water flowing into our homes, the hundreds and hundreds of other chemicals contained in it are unintentional and even dangerous. Many are quite dangerous in any amount. While some of these chemicals are less dangerous, what about their consumption over the long term? What’s the risk to your health when ingesting these chemicals for years on end?

You won’t have to worry about that when you invest in a water purifier that guarantees (for a lifetime) that the water flowing from your tap at home has been purified to the point of actually being healthy for you to drink.

Here are some of the chemicals in your water that you don’t want to be consuming and some of the problems that long-term exposure can produce.

Unless you have a Tyent Ionized Alkaline Water Purifier at home protecting you, you drink these every time you have a glass of water or make some coffee, or any water-based drink.

Trihalomethanes – These chemicals are the result of disinfectants added to the water in an attempt to purify it. These chemicals can cause liver, kidney, and central nervous system problems with long-term exposure. So much for the cure.

Dichlorobenzene – Liver, kidney or spleen damage, with changes in the blood

Beryllium – Intestinal lesions

Mercury – Kidney damage

Dicloroethane – Increased risk of cancer

For your information, this short list (of the many) chemicals listed above came from the EPA’s own site on drinking water contamination. There are a whole lot more listed there if you want to read about them. You will find the link at the end of this article.

For your further information, in laboratory tests, Tyent’s ionized alkaline water purifiers removed or decreased the presence of all of these chemicals so much so, that the water was deemed completely safe for drinking according the governments own safety standards for safe drinking water.

The list of the many and I mean many, potentially dangerous chemicals Tyent’s Solid/Mesh Platinum filters weeded out, left the laboratory white coats giving the Tyent machines the thumbs up for approval.

These Tyent machines are the best at what they do and superior filtration is just one.

They raise the pH level of the water; add life-giving minerals essential to good health, and scores of people have reported relief from everything from Acid Reflux to Eczema.

There has never been a greater need for pure water in this world and never a better time with Tyent’s Back To School Give Away Sale going on right now.

You can protect your health, save money, and stop buying environmentally destructive plastic bottles, all in one fell swoop with the purchase of a Tyent Ionized Alkaline Water purifier.
