Christmas gifts stacked together

Best Gifts from Best Water Solutions

Christmas is fast approaching and many of you are probably working on your Christmas lists.  Better health, peace of mind and more free time are among the best gifts we can give ourselves and those we love. With appropriate Water Treatment Equipment you can enjoy these things year round!

Better Health

Water Contaminants can silently make their way into your home and the bodies of your loved ones.  Some contaminants like Chlorine – and its dangerous by-products, – as well as Chromium-6 (the notorious “Erin Brockovich” chemical) are found in North Central Florida’s water. These well known carcinogens pose a threat to your entire family. Other types of carcinogens and neurotoxins found in our water supplies include: benzene, fluoride, arsenic, lead, nitrates, pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, dry cleaning compounds, the list goes on.  Many contaminants are odorless, tasteless, colorless and not detectable without sophisticated water testing equipment. In conclusion, it is very important to have water tests done annually.

Fortunately, Best Water can test your water and carries several Water Treatment options to remove contaminants from your water.

Peace of Mind

Contaminants in water supplies can be dangerous to anyone, but especially to babies, the elderly, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems. Therefore, ensuring your loved ones have safe water is a must. Protect them and cause less worry in your life.

Nitrates for example decrease the blood’s ability to carry oxygen throughout the body.  Infants who ingest nitrate contaminated water or formula can develop Blue Baby Syndrome. Therefore, it is highly important to get your water treated.

Viruses, cysts and bacteria like Salmonella, Giardia or E.coli in your water can cause diarrhea and abdominal cramping. Young children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems may have more severe symptoms.

BUT, with correctly chosen Water Treatment Equipment you can cross those worries off your “worry list”.

More Free Time

Water with high concentrations of limestone (Hard Water), Iron or Hydrogen Sulfide can be time consuming nuisances.

Hard Water makes your life harder! Among other things it forms soap scum that sticks to your bathroom tiles, shower doors, bathtubs, faucets and sinks making cleaning your bathrooms more difficult.  It also stains glassware, silverware and your kitchen in general and takes extra effort to remove.

Iron causes unsightly stains in sinks, toilets, bathtubs, washing machines, etc. requiring extra scrubbing to get them clean.

Hydrogen Sulfide, best known for causing a rotten egg smell, can also cause yellow or black stains on your kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and can tarnish silverware and discolor copper and brass utensils.

Well-chosen Water Treatment Equipment will prevent these problems and give you some extra time to do what you enjoy in life.

Baby drinking from a clear bottle

Protect Your Baby with Great Water!

Every parent wants the best for their baby and often has questions about what type of water is best. Good news, we are here to answer your questions and help! Best Water’s Water Treatment Systems ensure the water babies come in contact with is safe and pure. 

Quick Facts

Infants and children are very vulnerable to all forms of contamination. Research is alerting us that their precious little bodies are far more susceptible to the risk of contamination than adults. 

Water supplies – municipal and well – contain many impurities, which enter our body through ingestion. Some chemical contaminants are carcinogenic; others like bacteria, viruses, parasites and cysts can potentially make you and your baby very ill. 

In what ways does drinking water influence your families’ early years and how can contaminants affect them? 

Drinking and Formula Water

Some moms decide to breast feed, while others choose to bottle feed their baby. In either case since your baby will be consuming water at some point, you must pay attention to this ingredient. 

Preparing baby formula with untreated, boiled, tap water presents a health risk to your baby since hundreds of potential contaminants are known in our water supplies. Although boiling water before use kills germs and eliminates chlorine, contaminants like lead, nitrates, and pesticides can still be in the water you are giving your baby. And since boiling reduces the volume of water, it increases the concentration of those contaminants making matters even worse. 

Nitrates

Nitrates are one of the most common and widespread contaminants in North Florida. When you prepare a bottle-fed baby’s formula with water high in Nitrates, or drink water or juice containing Nitrates, the baby can develop a potentially fatal condition called “Blue Baby Syndrome”:  this is when Nitrates interfere with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. 

Lead

Lead contamination is not as common but can occur and have serious long-term implications to your family’s health, including impairment to children’s brain development and learning abilities. 

Giving your baby bottled water instead of tap water is expensive and not a healthy alternative. The bottled water industry is not regulated as well as municipalities are. Furthermore, since regulation enforcement is minimal there is no assurance that bottled water is safer than tap water. 

Purifying tap water at home, using quality Water Treatment Equipment, guarantees safe and pure water free of contaminants for your baby and your whole family. 

Cooking Water for Your Baby 

When your baby moves onto solid foods preparing them with Purified Water will have further benefits. Untreated tap water sometimes has unpleasant tastes or smells. Preparing food with it may cause your baby to reject it, making feeding time more difficult for both of you. By purifying the water, you won’t introduce unpleasant tastes from tap water into your baby’s food.
