Shower Water Filter

First of all I will give you some information's about our skin, this is needed to understand the importance for using a shower water filter.

Our skin is often known as "the largest organ of the human body" and it needs to be cleande with unpolluted water, filtered with a shower water filter.

This applies to exterior surface, as it covers the body, appearing to have the largest surface area of all the organs.

Moreover, it applies to weight, as it weighs more than any single internal organ, accounting for about 15 percent of body weight.

For the average adult human, the skin has a surface area of between 1.5-2.0 square meters, most of it is between 2-3 mm thick.

The average square inch of skin holds 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes, and more than a thousand nerve endings.

As you can see, our skin is quite an impressive organ and we have to take care for it properly.

Most peoples just ignore their skin totally and punish it all the time with polluted water, chemicals, soaps and make up.

A big step forward is the invention of the shower water filter, but keep reading.

Most peoples do not know that our skin has an area of 1.5-2 square meters and therefore our skin collects a lot of contaminants from our bath or shower water.

Our skin must be regularly cleaned; unless enough care is taken it will become cracked or inflamed.

Unclean skin favors the development of pathogenic organisms - the dead cells that continually slough off of the epidermis mix with the secretions of the sweat and sebaceous glands and the dust found on the skin to form a filthy layer on its surface.

If not washed away, with clean water, the slurry of sweat and sebaceous secretions mixed with dirt and dead skin is decomposed by bacterial flora, producing a foul smell.

Functions of the skin are disturbed when it is excessively dirty; it becomes more easily damaged, the release of antibacterial compounds decreases and dirty skin is more prone to develop infections.

Cosmetics should be used carefully because these may cause allergic reactions.

Each season requires suitable clothing in order to facilitate the evaporation of the sweat.

Sunlight, water and air play an important role in keeping the skin healthy.

The skin supports its own ecosystems of microorganisms, including yeasts and bacteria, which cannot be removed by any amount of cleaning.

Estimates place the number of individual bacteria on the surface of one square inch of human skin at 50 million though this figure varies greatly over the average 20 feet2 of human skin.

Oily surfaces, such as the face, may contain over 500 million bacteria per square inch.

Despite these vast quantities, all of the bacteria found on the skin's surface would fit into a volume the size of a pea.

In general the microorganisms keep one another in check and are part of a healthy skin.

When the balance is disturbed there may be an overgrowth and infection, such as when antibiotics kill microbes, resulting in an overgrowth of yeast.

The skin is continuous with the inner epithelial lining of the body at the orifices, each of which supports its own complement of microbes.

So what we can do to clean our skin properly and not put even more toxic chemicals on it:

You got it, use a shower water filter.

Many peoples have rushes and all kind of allergies and cannot imagine that most of them are coming from the shower water, what should actually clean our body.

A shower water filter filters the water and removes most of the chlorine.

Because of the superior chlorine reduction, you will see changes in the way your hair and skin feel including...

healthier, younger-looking skin

softer, more manageable hair

relief from dry skin and scalp

less fading on color-treated hair

Chlorine is an inorganic substance that chemically bonds to the protein in our hair and skin, destroying its natural ecological balance.

It’s fine for removing stains in your laundry.

However, chlorine can leave your hair dry and brittle and make your skin flaky and itchy.

It can also trigger negative reactions in children, the elderly, and people with chlorine-sensitivity.

Studies have shown that for health reasons it is best to reduce chlorine in drinking water.

Why we do not the same with our showering water and using a shower water filter ?

We also breath in the chlorine what evaporates from the water and this can also be stopped using a shower water filter.

This shower water filters are not very expensive and everyone should have installed one, it brings you and your family health.

It is important that the shower water filter cartridges are changed regularly, because they using KDF filter media what accumulates all the chemical substances and therefore cannot be used over the predicted time.

Please be carefully, buy only a NSFcertified shower water filter, there is a lot of nonsense out there what do not the job at all.

If you are using a whole house water filter system what removes already all the contaminants you can forget the shower filter.

Water Filter System - Reverse Osmosis

noreply@blogger.com (Prajyot Patil ) — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 15:18:00 +0530

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis is the process of pushing a solution through a filter that traps the solute on one side and allows the pure solvent to be obtained from the other side.

This means, contaminated water is forced trough a very fine membrane and only purest water comes out on the other side.

The waste of water is enormous, because only 25 % from the filtered water can be used as drinking water, the rest is waste water.

The pressure needed is usually about 2-14 bar (20-200 psi) and normally there is no pressure pump needed.

Portable reverse osmosis (RO) water processors are sold for personal water purification in the home.

These units are gravity powered (they need no water pump), and need no electricity.

The pressure of gravity pushes/drains the water though the filters, much like a coffee-maker filter.

A filter lasts for a few years before replacement is needed.

RO water processors are used by people who live in rural areas without clean water, far away from the city's water pipes.

Rural people filter river or ocean water(needs a high pressure pump !) themselves, as the device is easy to use.

Some travelers on long boating trips, fishing, island camping, or in countries where the local water supply is polluted or substandard, use RO water processors.

RO systems are also now used by marine aquarium enthusiasts, as the domestic water supply contains substances that are extremely toxic to most species of saltwater fish.

Some RO systems may include additional water treatment stages that use ultraviolet light or ozone to prevent microbiological contamination.)

Membrane pore sizes can vary from 1 to 50,000 angstroms.

Reverse osmosis is in the final category of membrane filtration, "Hyper filtration," and removes particles larger than 1 angstrom

1 angstrom is 0.001 micron

Reverse osmosis removes significantly salt, most inorganic material and some organic compounds.

Even most viruses are removed, but only if the membrane is in top condition.

RO systems should be used only with biological save water, nothing is perfect. :-)

The smaller system do not need electricity or a high pressure pump and produce a higher amount of water per day than distillers.

Reverse osmosis systems are using pre filters and carbon filters to protect the membrane from sediments and chlorine, the later would damage the membrane immediately.

The carbon filter is also needed for reducing other volatile organic chemicals (VOC's), pesticides and some other harmful solvents.

RO systems do not need electricity but rely on a relatively high water pressure, this means in an emergency your water system will be dead.

The reverse osmosis system needs maintenance, periodically changing filters and cleaning the storage tank.

A faulty membrane is not easy to detect and could bring a lot of troubles to you, before you find out a damaged membrane, you will contaminated with toxins from the water.

And again, if you chose a reverse osmosis system, go to NSF International and check if your system is certified, this ensures you that you have a proper working unit and not a peace of junk.

Here you can see how atypical RO system looks like. On the picture you can see two tanks, that is only for demonstration, it needs only one tank.

Water Filter System - Activated Carbon Filters

noreply@blogger.com (Prajyot Patil ) — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 15:15:00 +0530

Activated Carbon Filters

Using Activated Carbon Filters, is a method of water purification that uses activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities from our drinking water.

Basically there are two types of carbon filters:

1. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)

2. Solid Block Activated Carbon (SBAC)

In general, solid carbon block activated carbon filters are more effective at removing a larger number of contaminants, based upon the increased surface area of carbon.

Each piece of carbon is designed to provide a large section of surface area, in order to allow contaminants the most possible exposure to the filter media.

One pound of carbon contains a surface area of approximately 500.000 m² (125 acres).

This carbon is generally activated with a positive charge and is designed to attract negatively charged water contaminants.

Carbon filters are most effective at removing chlorine, sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOC's) from water.

They are not generally effective at removing minerals, salts, and dissolved inorganic compounds.

Typical particle sizes that can be removed by activated carbon filters range from 0.5 to 1 micrometers (microns).

Granular carbon blocks removes particles from about 5 microns and I would say that is not fine enough to produce clear drinking water for you.

Look out for a high quality Solid Block Activated Carbon Filter System !

The efficacy of a carbon filter is also based upon the flow rate regulation.

The slower water is able to flow through the filter, the more contaminants are exposed to the filter media.

Actually carbon filters are not a new invention as most companies propose, carbon has been used for several hundred years and are considered one of the oldest means of water purification.

Historians have shown evidence that carbon filtration may have been used in ancient Egyptian cultures for both air and water sanitization.

2000 B.C. Sanskrit text refers to filtering water through charcoal (1905 translation of "Ousruta Sanghita" by Francis Evelyn Place).

The first modern use of a carbon filter to purify potable water occurred in 1862.

Carbon filtration was further advanced in the mid 1970's when carbon powder was first manufactured into a porous block form for drinking water use.

Currently, carbon filters are used in individual homes as point-of-use water filters and, occasionally, in municipal water treatment facilities.

They are also used as pre-treatment devices for reverse osmosis systems and as specialized filters designed to remove chlorine-resistant cysts, such as giardia and cryptosporidium.

So lets have a closer look at this two Activated Carbon Filter Systems:

Granular Activated Carbon Filters (GAC)

This type of filter uses lose activated carbon granules which removes some chlorine, organic contaminants, some particular matters and some unpleasant odors and tastes.

But this filter type has some problems built in.

Because of the large pore size of the loose carbon granules, contaminated water will channel between this loose granules and that's not the best idea to filter fine particles out of the water.

Sometimes the deposited contaminations in the filter get dumped in the drinking water what produces a reverts effect and pollute the drinking water with toxic materials, what we actually like to filter out.

Advantage of GAC filters:

simple, inexpensive, reduces some chlorine and particular matter, improve test and odor, do not restrict water flow, simple maintenance, no electricity required, do not waste water, do not remove dissolved minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium what improves the taste of the water.

Disadvantages of GAC filters:

channeling, that means water flow around the carbon granules and some water will not get filtered at all.

Some of the GAC filters use by far too big carbon granules in the size of 1mm, what is of course a joke, everything passes trough this medium.

Cannot be used with hot water, hot water would release immediately big amounts of trapped contaminants, not so good for you, I guess :-)

GAC filters are also known to become breeding grounds of bacteria, what is also not what you like to achieve with your water filter system.

Solid Block Activated Carbon

This Activated Carbon Filters are manufactured from specially treated, activated, fine carbon powder, what is compressed under enormous pressure to form a solid carbon block.

The pore size is mostly 0.5 to 1 micron, what reduces many contaminants like arsenic, MTBE,pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, chlorine byproducts, parasitic cysts, asbestos, and many more.

At the end of this page I present you a list from contaminants what should be removed from a Top End Activated Carbon Filters .

This small pore size also eliminates the problem of channeling and bacteria growth.

The area from a carbon block is much bigger compared to a GAC filter and it outperforms the GAC medium by far, because the absorption area and time is much bigger, so it can absorb much more contaminants.

The carbon blocks do not need any electricity or high pressure and can be used in an emergency by siphoning the water trough them.

They are a little more expensive as GAC filters, but they are reducing an incredible amount of contaminations and produce save, clean drinking water for you.

If you like to purchase a water filter system, please

check your selected activated carbon filters at NSF International
and see if your chosen Activated Carbon Filters are certified by them.

This will guaranty you, that the product is manufactured under the rules of NSF and also performs under the criteria of NSF.

Please do not even consider to buy Activated Carbon Filters what are NOT certified by NSF !!!

WARNING !!! Please do not use hot water with Activated Carbon Filters , they are NOT designed for this purpose !

Activated Carbon Filters will not remove soluble salts, fluoride and cadmium.

Some (I know of only one product) specially formulated carbon blocks will remove Arsenic, what becomes a problem now in many areas.

In my opinion, this Activated Carbon Block Filters are the way to go.

There are only a few cases where an RO system is needed to produce save, clear drinking water for your family.

Please do not get shocked from this list, all the contaminants removed with this Activated Carbon Filters does not mean that all this contaminants are in YOUR water !!!!

Water Filter Systems

There are quite a few different Water Filter Systems out there and I will try to tell you more about them on this page.

I will give you a brief introduction here and if you like to know more details then please follow the links in the descriptions and they will bring you to a more detailed explanation of water filtration systems.

Please don't be confused from so many different Water Filter Systems, it is actually quite easy to find the right one for you, because most of us are drinking municipal tap water, and that is not too difficult to clean and prepare for human consumption.

Photo by Water Lovers on Unsplash.

At some places the tap water is in very bad shape, full of chemicals and loaded with heavy metals, but mostly it is free from bacteria's and viruses, because the water is heavily chlorinated what kills every life form in that water.

The problem with this heavy chlorinating are the by products from this process.

Chloride on itself has no reported side effects, but if it get mixed up with other chemicals and heavy metals, it generates extreme toxic substances what are harmful to us.

Also the old municipal water piping contaminates our drinking water with lead and asbestos, what is very harmful for us, especially for children, elderly's and pregnant women.

So what we have to do ?

Filter out this bad substances from the water with a high end water filter systems and you are fine.

This can be done quite easy with a top quality carbon block filter, but please read again, I said a "Top Quality" filter.

Those filters you find in super markets and at the do it yourself markets are a joke and they filter only your pocket :-)

The problem is, there are about 2500 different products out there and more than 500 companies claim that their water filter systems are the best.

So how do YOU know what are the best water system ?

Knowledge :-)

There are only two main types of water filters,

sediment filters and activated carbon filters,

what working sometimes together in one filter unit.

Those filters produce fairly clean and save water and are very easy to maintain.

All what is needed is to change the filter cartridges regularly, normally once a year or after about 500-1000 gallons of water filtered, depends on the product.

Photo by Najib Kalil on Unsplash.

Important is, that your water filter must remove particles down to 1 or better 0.5 micron, to remove cryptosporidia and giardia cysts, what are quite common in our drinking water.

Most filters on the market goes down to only 5 microns,

what is NOT enough !

Viruses cannot be removed by any water filter system.

There is one other water filter system, Reverse Osmosis, also called RO System, what produces almost chemically clean water, we will have also a closer look at that.

So lets have a brief look at the different filter systems.

1) Activated Carbon Filters

2)Reverse Osmosis

3) Shower Water Filter

Effects of Water Pollution

noreply@blogger.com (Prajyot Patil ) — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 15:03:00 +0530

Effects of Water Pollution
Water pollution are already imaginable and it affect all of us.
The effects of water pollution contaminates the waterways and destroys all live in it.
From the polluted lakes and rivers the contaminated water reaches also the ground water system and effects you and your family's health.
Human made organic chemicals such as pesticides, heavy metals as lead and mercury have a great effects to waterr pollution to our environment and of course to your health.
Even the generic makeup are effects of water pollution and have fatal consequences, resulting in deformities and death and will affect future generations on our earth.
In the animal king dome are already many deformities seen, fish with enormous cancer tumors, frogs with three legs.........where will this go ?
PCB's, DDT and dioxins are already very common in our water systems and can be found in the most rural areas where nobody would expect them at all.
If you consume a lot of fish or other marine food you taking the risk to collect all this terrible chemicals in your body and the consequences are fatal.
Especially pregnant women, children and elderly persons are in most danger, because all this contaminants weakens the immune system in your body.
In this days you have to think twice to eat an "healthy" fish !
The effects of water contamination are also enormous on our drinking water system.
All live on earth need save and clean drinking water to constrain live, but what we do, we contaminate our most important live support.
Because of the effects of water pollution, it is a must that you use a good Water Filter System to protect yourself and your family.
The effects of water pollution are not only devastating animals, fish, and birds but also to us humans.
You cannot use polluted water for drinking, recreation, gardening, agriculture and also in the food producing industry.
Contaminated water is a hazard to your health and you have to do everything to avoid this.
You cannot escape from the effects of water pollution, but you can cope with it.
Use a top grate water filter system and you and your family will be fine.
It sounds all like a very horrible scenario and I do not like to paint the picture of our bad world, but the effects of water pollution are facts and you have to cope with it.
Ignoring my advise for using a top grade water filter will affect your and your family's health, there is no doubt about that.

So please do not worry too much and have a look at Water Filter Systems

What is Water Pollution ?

noreply@blogger.com (Prajyot Patil ) — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 14:59:00 +0530

What is Water Pollution ?

Water pollution is a general term to describe effects on our global water system, which means, that groundwater lakes, rivers, oceans, are polluted with harmful materials such as heavy metals, fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals and also organic toxins.

Not all the pollution is human made, some of which is produced from natural disasters, like eruption of volcanoes or earthquakes.

The biggest impacts on our eco-systems are the chemical industries followed by agricultures.

Yes, you are reading right, agriculture, those mega companies or mega farms who are supposed to produce healthy foods for us, are one of the main water pollutant producers!

They are using an enormous amount of fertilizers, pesticides and also deliver a huge amount of harmful, toxic organic matters into our ground water systems.

Photo by Miha Rekaron Unsplash.

Chemical and agricultural industries working hand in hand and produce the biggest water pollutants on our planet.

Traffic and all oil related products also destroy our environment in such a horrifying scale , contributing a lot to that problem.

Pollution of our environment is a global problem and it is suggested that about 14,000 peoples are dying daily from water borne diseases.

In the past 80-100 years there are about 70,000 different chemicals produced and released in our environment and now hold on, only about 60 are listed and tested that hey are not harmful for humans.

Nobody really knows what our scientists produced in the past and even worse, nobody can predict what will happen if this stuff get mixed up.

All of this chemicals produce a nice cocktail what is mostly toxic and it will stay with us for millenniums.

The most important subject is:

Answer the Questions "What is Water Pollution" and how do you find clear, unpolluted drinking water ?

You must filter your drinking water, then you are on the safe side.

Our body is made up of about 70% water !

This means, water is the most important liquid we need to sustain our life .

Imaging 70% of our body is polluted with chemicals ? Then you would know what is water pollution :o) No wonder, that we are all getting sicker every day, unless you start cleaning up the mess for yourself.

If you wait for the government to take action against all that, then you will wait forever.

Take Action NOW !

All this pollution is accepted from our governments and international health organizations, because there are gigantic financial potentials involved.

What that produces we can see every day, just look out from your window.

Please have look at the related links on other related topics to get a bigger picture about the problem.

When you have gained enough knowledge on that topic you are more prepared and you will also realize actually it is not so difficult to cope with this problem.

Water Pollution

The United Nations estimate that around 10 percent of the world's people don't have access to wash beverage that's over 700000000 people. the most problem with this untreated water is that it can carry diseases like cholera spread through untreated human feces. this is often particularly serious in shanty towns near big cities and in refugee camps. Rivers and streams also can be polluted with diseases from water coming from badly managed rubbish dumps. But human sewage isn't the sole substance that pollutes our water supplies most of the opposite substances humans allow to flee into streams rivers and therefore the oceans are more dangerous to natural ecosystems.

Chemical fertilizers I'm far more soluble in water than organic manure based fertilizers so heavy rain can wash them into streams and lakes causing eutrophication. The fertilizers cause algae to grow in no time forming a mat on the lake surface this blocks sunlight from the vegetation deeper down which dies bacteria then feed off the dying vegetation and spend the remaining oxygen supply once the oxygen has gone all animal life dies the lake ecosystem is destroyed if heavy metals like lead mercury and cadmium get into rivers and lakes many animals will die. N. minimum to Japan a polluting mercury fungicide factory was closed 1968 yet folks that have continued to be suffering from the poisoning the so called minimum to disease ever since because the fish caught locally within the bay still have traces of mercury in them.

Nowadays the utilization of mercury and cadmium in fungicides has been largely replaced by copper and organic compounds. The removal of lead from petrol began within the seventies when it became clear that plumbism causing mental defects which cost a minimum of partially by the lead compounds added to petrol to form it better and more smoothly it's taken 40 years since then for a United Nations global ban on the sale of leaded petrol the last 6 nations complied in 2013. radioactive material is generally stored above ground in water tanks expecting more permanent underground storage where it's to be safe for many years there are fears that these underground stores could fail and contaminate water courses. Currently small amounts of material are allowed to be washed bent sea on the idea that it'll become so diluted that it'll make no difference to the natural background radioactivity tea within the oceans. Following a nuclear disaster like 5 mile island in 1979 Chernobyl in 1986 Fukushima in 2011 watercourses and therefore the oceans can become dangerously polluted with radioactive material . During mining and drilling operations to extract minerals from the world aquifers which are the underground watercourses can become polluted. Huge amounts of plastic thrown faraway from ships and washed bent sea from rubbish dumps ashore have ended up floating in huge islands of waste causing a significant threat to fish seabirds and other marine animals the so called great Pacific garbage patch is estimated to be half the dimensions of Europe and there are 4 others. Coal and oil fueled power stations are responsible more so within the past for causing acid precipitation which devastated many north European you lakes within the sixties see our video on acid precipitation for more on this. fuel and atomic power stations need large amounts of water for condensing the steam which drives that turbines this water is typically cooled on site within the great cooling towers.

however the water are going to be returned to the river O. C. warmer than before and this will upset the river or sea ecosystems although not material pollution this waste heat may be a pollutant. So to summarize there are some ways mankind is polluting the rivers lakes and seas perhaps the foremost serious causing millions to become ill or die is pollution by human sewage. to find out how we are trying to purify wastewater and to form water fit drink C.
