 * "Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."
 * U.S. Council of Environmental Quality
 * "U.S. drinking water contains more than 2,100 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer."
 * Ralph Nader Research Group
 * "Drinking water in the U.S. is among the top four public health risks posed by environmental problems."
 * Former EPA Administrator William K. Reilly
 * "Each year in the U.S., lead in drinking water contributes to 480,000 cases of learning disorders in children and 560,000 cases of hypertension in adult males." U.S. EPA Report Summary.

http://www.intermaxwatergroup.com/contamination_facts.html Our municipal water treatment facilities are not designed or effective for removing these synthetic chemicals and typically only consist of sand bed filtration and disinfection, much like a standard swimming pool filter. Our water supplies are increasingly threatened by and contaminated by chemicals and microorganisms.
 * The causes of water contamination are numerous and range from agricultural runoff to improper use of household chemicals and everything in between. While the standard use in our society of over **75,000 different chemical compounds** has offered added convenience and productivity in our lives, it has also come at a tremendous price. drastic increase in degenerative diseases. In the early 1900s, before chlorine, pesticides, herbicides and the tens of thousands of other chemicals that we are exposed to, t**he average person had a 1 in 50 chance of getting cancer, today 1 in 3 can expect to get cancer in their lifetime, one out of every 2 men.**
 * Once we realize that everything that goes down the drain, on our lawns, on our agricultural fields or into the environment by any means. eventually winds up in the water we drink, we begin to see just how fragile our water supplies really are.
 * Another major flaw in the estimated risks of chemicals in our drinking water is the false assumption that only that one chemical is being consumed. The regulations are set based on what is assumed safe for a 175 pound adult drinking water with only that one chemical present and does not take into account the combined toxicity of two or more chemicals. In a 1995 Science Advisory Report to the EPA it was stated that "when two or more of these contaminants combine in our water the potency may be increased by as much as 1000 times." Regardless of the differing opinions it is safe to assume that there is no acceptable level for pesticides and weed killers in our drinking water.
 * In Canada & America each year we use over 2.2 billion pounds of pesticides, or eight pounds for every man woman and child in the country.

 * The truth is that tap water is one of the four most pressing health threats posed by environmental problems. Each year the correlations between contaminated drinking water and cancer, learning disabilities, and asthma are becoming stronger and clearer. Even if tap water has gone through municipal treatment before reaching your home faucet, it is often far from safe. In many cases, municipal water treatment facilities actually add dangerous chemicals to water in the process of treatment. Municipal water treatment methods are often old and outdated; consequently, they are simply incapable of dealing with the dangerous assortment of contaminants that may be present in drinking water. A
