Toxins in Your Water?
Nothing is more important to our health than safe and readily-available clean water. As we witness a rise in water crises locally, countrywide, and around the globe, we recognize more than ever the importance of this basic need. Doug Workman, the owner of Liberty Pure Solutions, believes in empowering people to learn about the water supplied to their homes. Often, well-intentioned homeowners purchase filtration or other water quality systems without knowing what is in their water. “We want to educate our customers about the benefits of their in-home water supply and make recommendations based on a water quality test.” A free water analysis is the first step in making the right choice in water treatment. “We want our customers to know what they need, not what they think they need.”
Why Should You Have Your Water Tested?
Our water supply contains chemicals that we do not want in our bodies. Dissolved solids, heavy metals, minerals, and other impurities can cause your water to smell or taste bad. However, many chemicals escape our senses, meaning they are not seen, smelled, or tasted, and can harm our health. Chlorides from road salt and other sources have also contaminated hundreds of wells in the area, ruining appliances, clothes, and pipes due to their aggressive nature. Of most recent concern is the presence of PFAS in our water and in our blood. These chemicals have been in use since the 1940s in products like firefighting foams, household products such as non-stick cookware, food packaging, and stain and water repellants. Persistent and resistant to degradation, these chemicals accumulate in the environment and your body over time. The primary source of PFAS exposure is our drinking water and food sources. There are many PFAS chemicals, but those made and used the most in the United States are PFOA and PFOS.
According to the American Cancer Society, although these two chemicals are no longer manufactured in the US, we continue to be exposed to them.
How Can We Protect Our Family?
The first step any homeowner should take is to have a free water analysis performed by a reputable, certified lab for water testing. “My company and much of my competition offer free water testing and estimates. When selecting a company, be sure to check their rating and water treatment certifications (wqa.org), use the Better Business Bureau (BBB) for references and reviews, and most importantly, talk to your neighbors about water treatment providers.” A water analysis will determine if PFAS or other impurities are of concern. A reverse osmosis, carbon, or UV light system is an option to break down and remove unwanted chemicals. Doug emphasizes the importance of knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your water to have the most cost-effective and quality water treatment plan. He recommends visiting WQA.org to learn about water quality issues and legislation and become educated on the public water in your community. Well owners should stay in contact with the local health department to learn more about their soil quality and well depth.
