When It Comes to Skin, Water Matters

When it comes to your skin, the benefits of whole house water filtration are often overlooked, but they’re profound. Unfiltered water typically contains chlorine and other harsh chemicals that are used to disinfect tap water. While these chemicals are effective at killing bacteria, they can also be damaging to your skin. Chlorine strips away natural oils that keep your skin moisturized, leading to dryness, irritation, and even exacerbating conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Over time, frequent exposure to these [...]

Why Natural Ice Water Isn’t as Pure as You Think

When we think of icebergs or freshly fallen snow, we often picture crystal-clear, untouched water. But while the aesthetic of pristine ice has a certain appeal, drinking it may not be the healthy choice it seems. Icebergs, for example, aren’t as pure as they look.

Even in remote [...]

That Tastes Good to Me

Taste. It is subjective. Everyone on Earth has thousands of taste buds on their tongue. It only makes sense for things to taste differently from one person to the next. For example, some people don’t like the taste of some alcohol compared to others. Even things that are consumed more regularly, like vegetables, have a very different taste to people. I, for instance, am not a fan of the taste of peas, but I personally know some other people [...]

Competition Works for Everyone

We all understand with the years going by and the increasing costs of products due to inflation, but why are the water rates going [...]

Hunker down, batten the hatches, stay inside. All things we heard when the recent Hurricane Hilary came through San Diego, the first hurricane to hit Southern California in over 80 years. While most of us went unscathed, something we do not really pay too much attention to is the aftermath on things we use every day.
