Take another look at your water

First of all, everyone should take a moment to be thankful. Thankful, that to be able to read this Water Wise Guy post, you must have some electricity, or a battery – the same cannot be said for so many in places like Haiti. Thankful you even have water to drink – the same cannot be said for so many in places like Haiti.

Have you taken that moment? No, no…I can wait. (Humming) Done? Great.

So before we move on, I just want to let you know Culligan International has committed over 100,000 10 oz. specially-designed bottles for the people in Haiti – the water is on the way.

UPDATE:
· Culligan donated several self-contained water treatment systems that will produce safe drinking water from any source water

· Apparently there was footage of the Culligan bottles being distributed in Haiti on ABC news early last week

· The aid organization requested 10 oz bottles to fit in their pre-packaged meals. The small size also helps to limit sharing, larger bottles would be shared, and spread disease.

This tragedy got me thinking about the water we all drink and never take a moment to think about.

The thing is, even with water that looks clear, how can you be sure it is safe to drink? You honestly cannot rely on the appearance of water. Even in what many think is “filtered water,” there are so many microscopic nasties swimming around in water it’s unbelievable.

While you may think that you’re water pitcher filter catches all these little guys, think again. As I stated in my “What is the heck is reverse osmosis?" blog.

So take another look at your water, and make sure it is filtered to the level that YOU are happy with.
