Ok, so maybe National Water Quality Month¹ isn’t the holiday you normally buy party hats for, but according to FiltersFast.com, August is the time to celebrate the quality of water you have available to  you. Around the world, water is an incredibly precious resource, yet millions go without it, putting them at risk for life-threatening diseases.

Below are some tips to ensure that you and your family always have access to high-quality water²:

  • Buy a faucet purifier – These attachments easily connect to the sink faucet to purify water as it comes out. They even have an off-switch for when purified water isn’t needed.

 

  • Whole house distillers – These are a little pricey to buy and install, but they purify every drop of water that goes through the main line into your house, so it’s worth it. Just know that any distiller you buy should have “NSF/ANSI Standard 53” on the label.

 

  • Use a jug filter – Another popular product, this looks like a regular pitcher, and you simply fill it with faucet water, and an internal purifier readies it for drinking in just a few seconds.

 

See how easy it is to have safe, purified drinking water for your family? While cake and streamers aren’t part of the festivities for National Water Quality Month, you can still celebrate by heading out to your nearest grocery, home, or hardware store to choose the best purification system for your lifestyle.

So enjoy the holiday, and feel free to go online or call your local utility company to learn about more ways you can have access to safe, high quality drinking water!
