The Parasites Are Coming!

One of the many effects of climate change is drought.

One of the many effects of the drought is reduced water in water reservoirs.

One of the many effects of reduced water levels is a concentration of parasites in the remaining water.

One of the many effects of this parasite increase is the need of water authorities to increase disinfection, using chlorine.

One of the many effects of increased chlorine dosage is acidification of our water supply.

One of the many effects of acidification of our water is the leaching of lead and copper from old house's water pipes.

One of the many effects of leaching of copper and lead is accumulation of heavy metetal toxicity in people who like a drink of water first thing in the morning.

Another effect is the increase of lime (calcium carbonate) in the water by the water authorities to counter the acidifying effect of the chlorine.

One of the many effects of added lime is encrustation of kettles, hot water services and pipes causing extra electricity to be used in heating.

Another effect is the increase in calcium in water alkalizer user's output water, which, while not a bad thing, tends to coat glasses.

Summarizing, it might be a good time to inquire with us about how to reduce parasites in your water supply, how to test yourself for heavy metals, what to do about removing heavy metals from your water, and whether all this is just too much for now when all you really need is a good lie down!
