The Drinking Water Book
How to Eliminate Harmful Toxins from Your Water
by Colin Ingram

I love this book, because it is written very simply and can help me to purify my drinking water, know what water filters are all about and with wonderful pictures, graphs and charts I was able to learn so much about how to keep the nasty stuff out of that God given nourishing elixir that keeps me going.

One of the exciting things I learned from this book was that I do not have to go out and spend 20 bucks for a gizmo that will clean my water, this blessed messenger gave me methods and suggestions on how to do it myself and save a bundle. I was also very confused before, because there are so many choices and types of products designed to make drinking water safe, all touting claim to being the best and all quite vague about what they actually removed or even more important what they didn't. For those seekers that are looking for a no nonsense, straight from the hip look at water purification, this one is for you. Thanks so much Colin, for opening my eyes about drinking water.

Love & Light,

If you assume that your tap water is safe to drink just because your water company tells you so, this book might change your mind. Municipal water systems have been under pressure (no pun intended) for quite some time and, while not intentionally putting your health at risk, they may be doing so inadvertently. And don't think that just because you are using a purifier or bottled water that you are in the clear, some purifiers do nothing more than make the water taste better (leaving toxins behind) and some bottled waters are nothing more than bottled tap water from another source. This book explores just about everything you can think of about drinking water - what is in it, finding out what is in it and how to remove things in it that are harmful. The first step is finding out what is in your tap water and you are shown exactly how to go about that. From there you can make a choice as to which purifier or bottled water source would most suit your needs and situation and this book details and grades all the different choices. A very nice feature of this book is a chapter on four simple ways to improve water safety without special equipment - for those of us that may have financial considerations besides the health ones (you get what you pay for in water purifiers and they can be very pricey). A very complete soup to nuts reference on the topic with one exception - the one water purifier that I was looking to research was not included. It is the British Berkefeld which is not a new system (it dates back to the 1800s) so I'm not sure why it was not included; the only reason I can think is that since this book is older the system was not readily available in the US at the time. I would have rated this book much lower because of this omission but the other material was so extensive that it almost made up for that flaw. I still give it a recommended rating as the information it does contain is thorough and helpful to anyone concerned about how their drinking water impacts their health.… (mais)
