			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a lot of noise about the information surrounding water filtration. The market is all a buzz about how many water filtration companies are blowing the results of water testing out of porportion and that we shouldn&#8217;t let this bother us or change the way we view drinking water. Well, my take on this very subject is relative to the information that has been provided to me. Furthermore, I&#8217;ve taken a step further and used the same advice that I give to anyone who comes to my site to purchase water filtration products from Its A Filter. Do your homework. Get a water quality test from your local municipality and then from there you can select the filter that will best suit what you&#8217;re trying to achieve in cleaner water for your home, your office and your travel needs. Its no surprise that water is not as clean as it should be. More and more, chemicals are being added to our water to try and maintain some stability and health as a preventative to illnesses but is it just their responsibility? Of course not. We, as the consumers, should be ready and willing to give them a hand and help promote wellness in our homes, our offices and our traveling this summer for vacations. We can&#8217;t leave our own lives up to those who are trying desperately to maintain it all for everyone under their municipality water operations.</p>
<p>Its easy to cast the work on someone else when we don&#8217;t know what is out there. There are so many different water filtration devices on the market today that you&#8217;d search for a year and not view them all. Still, it&#8217;s up to us whether or not we are willing to allow all the burden of cleaning our water to be held over to those in the operations department of &#8220;Your Water Company&#8221;.</p>
<p>I asked for a water quality test from my local water company. They made an appointment to drop off a &#8220;first draw&#8221; bottle so that I could get the test started. It was relatively simple as I just had to make sure that the first of my day was spent filling this bottle with the water that had set in my pipes all night, undisturbed. After that bottle was filled, I filled out the card that would associate that with my home and put it in my briefcase to take back to the field office for the testing. The results were alarming to me as there are things that is still in my water that I don&#8217;t want there. It&#8217;s not that the EPA said I&#8217;ll be sick from it but the fact those things are in my water and many of them were at their maximum allowable levels according to their own guidelines through the EPA.</p>
<p>Its time to get a filter. This coming from the one who owns the business and promotes it. Sure, we have filters on our water but they are not nearly enough to take care of our needs and desires for cleaner water. It&#8217;s time for an upgrade. We purchase what we need to best suit our needs in our home. The cost? $179 flat &#8211; just like all my customers pay. Why would I take a discount? Just because I&#8217;m the owner doesn&#8217;t necessitate that I get a discount. I pay what you pay. Its worth it to me.</p>
<p>Finally, things are getting cleaned up. I took my advice. I want to know that what I tell others will work. I put my word to the test against my own standards and comes out that I know what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>The reports and statistics are on target. The numbers are out there and the water pollution problem is being worked on but until it is solved and the drought conditions all across our country are resolved, we have to be conscious about the water problems that we are facing. Who&#8217;s blowing the truth out of porportion? We are if we don&#8217;t take those reports seriously and continue to put the burden of cleaner water on our water companies that provide us the best they can offer. They have millions; we are a family of 4. I can control what comes in my house and protect what goes out of my house so that their jobs can be easier over the long haul. With more helpful attitudes like this we can make a difference &#8211; one household at a time.</p>
