Water Quality - Bacteria In Water

It is essential that water be free of bacteria, viruses, and cysts. Pathogens in drinking water present immediate health risks and can be fatal. Every year thousands of cities are on boil water advisories due to the presence of pathogens in the public water systems.

Pathogenic microorganisms that occur in polluted water include protozoa, bacteria and enteric viruses. The most common disease this can cause is the gastrointestinal illness of diarrhea.  Although gastrointestinal illness is usually non-life threatening in normal healthy adults, the risk of death increases among vulnerable groups such as infants, the elderly and immunosuppressed individuals.

Coliform bacteria in drinking water is usually a result of a problem with the treatment system or the pipes which distribute water, and indicates that the water may be contaminated with germs that can cause disease.

Fecal Coliform and E coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. 

Turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. It may indicate the presence of disease causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.

Cryptosporidium is a parasite that enters lakes and rivers through sewage and animal waste. It causes cryptosporidiosis, a mild gastrointestinal disease. However, the disease can be severe or fatal for people with severely weakened immune systems. EPA and CDC have prepared advice for those with severely compromised immune systems who are concerned about Cryptosporidium.

Bacteria Water Filters

Bacteria Water Filters

MineralPRO Ultraviolet (UV) Water Filter Sterilizers are designed specifically to kill harmful microorganisms such as water coliform bacteria and viruses in untreated water supplies (well water or private water systems).

Ultraviolet (UV) Bacteria Filter systems are commonly installed in rural homes that have received a positive coliform, e.coli, cryptosporidium, or giardia water test result, as well as those with reason to suspect that they are at higher risk for such contamination, and those seeking to have peace-of-mind that their water is being properly disinfected prior to consumption.

For more information, regarding bacteria disinfection and bacteria UV filters please contact MineralPRO™.

"I grew up on a farm in the interior of B.C, Canada. We had fresh water right from a natural spring water run off, and I always thought that was what all the water in the world tasted like. My mother called it “mountain juice”, and we drank it up eagerly, but not knowing how lucky we were to have the fresh, clean and uncontaminated water that we had.

It was not until I started traveling away from our little farm that I noticed the difference, and I started to educate myself about the quality of water around the world. I often wondered about the strong chlorine taste of the water in nearly every city I visited. I was astonished to learn that drinking unfiltered tap water can be hazardous and unhealthy because of chemicals, microbiological bacteria and viruses, pharmaceutical drugs, toxic metals and other contaminants.

Chlorine is one of the obvious added contaminants in most tap water. Most people are not aware that chlorine in water combines with natural organic matter creating cancer-causing Trihalomethanes (THM's). It is associated with triggering tumor development both in heart disease and cancer. Research has shown the basic cause of heart disease, heart attacks and most common forms of strokes is from the chlorine contained in drinking water.

CBC Research found that 24 of the 28 water samples taken from major metropolitan area water supplies contained evidence of drug contamination. “Birth control pills, cancer drugs and a host of other pharmaceuticals are making their way into the water supply because the human body doesn't always absorb all the medication it ingests, and some are flushed down the drain” says Gord Miller, Ontario's environmental commissioner.

In addition to chlorine and drugs in our drinking water, iron, fluoride, and harmful bacteria are also present in the majority of North American tap water.

Water consumption is so important to our health, that it vital that we have access to clean, and healthy drinking water. Healthy water, is water the way nature intended before we contaminated it, stripped it of its natural minerals, and reduced the pH to unhealthy acidic levels. Ordinary tap water must be first cleaned of harmful contaminates including chlorine, fluoride, pharmaceutical drugs, metals (mercury, lead, arsenic), chemicals, and bacteria. It must then be replenished with minerals to ensure that naturally occurring minerals are present. To ensure optimum health, the water should then be Alkaline PH balanced, and be certain that the water has a fresh spring water taste.

This can be achieved with Mineral Alkaline Drinking Water Filter Systems.

The first time I tried water cleaned by on of these water filter systems, I assumed that I was drinking natural spring water. I was surprised to find out how the Mineral Pro water filter systemswork, and how beneficial they are to our health. After a month of drinking the filtered mineral alkaline water, I noticed the health of my whole family increase. My skin was healthy and clear, and we all had so much more energy than before. I am relieved to know that even though I don’t live in an area with my own spring water run off, I can still get the same great quality water wherever I chose to live with the help of Mineralpro water filter systems."
