Not really. It doesn't get rid of impurities like silt, rust, heavy metals and chemicals as well as cancer-causing chlorine by-products like THM (Trichloromethane), all of which are hazardous to your health. Also, experts say that you have to boil drinking water for over 20 minutes to get rid of all bacteria. When was the last time you boiled water that long? So even boiling doesn't make your drinking water completely safe.

Chlorine is indeed beneficial, not to us directly, but in killing bacteria that can contaminate public water as it is being piped to our homes. It is necessary to disinfect public water, as not doing so will result in widespread water-borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever and dysentery. Chlorine's powerful disinfectant qualities come from its ability to bond with and destroy the outer surfaces of bacteria and viruses.

As chlorine is by nature a very reactive substance (which accounts for its powerful disinfectant properties), it can react with organic matter, which can be easily introduced into public water on its way from the water supply plant to your home, to form potent cancer-causing trihalomethanes (THMs) or haloforms. Trihalomethanes collectively include such carcinogens as chloroforms, bromoforms carbon tectachloride, bischlorothane and others. In fact, studies have been made about this way back in the late 1960s by an American scientist, Joseph Price, M. D, who wrote a fascinating yet largely ignored book, entitled Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine. Chlorine, Dr Price believes, is the primary and essential cause of atherosclerosis - a condition involving the thickening of the arteries. "Nothing can negate the incontrovertible fact the basic cause of atherosclerosis and resulting entities, such as heart attacks and most common forms of stokes is chlorine. The chlorine contained in processed drinking water."

To support this conclusion, Dr. Price did a series of experiments, using chlorine in the drinking water of chickens. Within a few months, 95% of the chickens drinking chlorinated water developed athereosclerosis. To retest these results, Dr. Price divided the original control group into two groups, conducted the exact same experiment and obtained the exact same results. If chlorine and its by-products like THMs are not good for chickens, what makes chlorine any better for humans?

Below are some more information about the dangers of chlorine and THMs in drinking water:

• Internet Health Library
• Dr. Fox on Chlorination

Drinking 1 or 2 glasses of chlorinated water will not cause any ill-effects, as the level of chlorination in public water is well below hazardous levels, but what will drinking that same chlorinated water over a span of 20 to 30 years do to the human body? Chlorination of public water began in the 1920s and since then, cancer and heart diseases have been on the rise year after year. There could very well be a link between cancer and chlorine, as chlorine is a poisonous gas and has actually been used as a poison gas to kill soldiers in World War 1. The slow but steady accumulation of chlorine (similar to lead poisoning) in the human body might very well be one of the leading factors in the occurrance of cancer and heart diseases.

In spite of the above, chlorine is still used to clean our water supplies, in place of safer alternatives such as ozone, because it is cheaper to sanitize the water using chlorine and to prevent water contamination as mentioned above. If that is the case, what can you do about the chlorine and the THMs that enter your system each time you drink a glass of tap water? Easy! All you have to do is to install a good water filtration system at the point of consumption. As water is such an important component in the functioning of the human body (doctors recommend that we drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to aid the normal functioning and detoxification of the human body), it makes perfect sense to invest in something that can ensure that your family only drinks the best quality water. After all, would you want to compromise on your family's health?

Almost.... but not quite. With only a single cartridge, conventional filters cannot possibly hold all necessary media needed to filter all contaminants. This also means contaminants will build up quickly in the filter, rapidly deteriorating filtration performance. Thus these filters can't guarantee you completely safe drinking water.

Besides, many filters in the market, that can remove chlorine, bad taste and odors from drinking water, are not necessarily effective in removing heavy metals, THMs and other chemical pollutants.

In comparison, Diamond Energy Water System has 3 cleaning filters:

• Filter A has a NSF certified ceramics filter, which can be cleaned by the user every month to ensure no build up of contaminants. It thoroughly removes bacteria and impurities like dirt, silt and rust.
• Filter B has a NSF certified activated carbon filter, which removes unpleasant odours and colours, while natural mineral stones regulate mineral content.
• Filter C has a NSF certified Grade A activated carbon and a KDF metal ion converter (meeting the standards stipulated by the FDA and EPA of the United States). This filter completely removes heavy metals, chlorine, and other chemical contaminants.

In addition, Diamond Energy Water System has 3 more filters, which further differentiates it from other conventional filters:

• Filter D has a CE2000PI Energy Converter from Japan, that effectively breaks water molecule clusters down into the smallest possible clusters, making it easier for our body to absorb. It also increases the dissolved oxygen content in the water.
• Filter E has a high-tech ID2 energy stabilizer, with far infrared technology, which stabilizes energy in the water to keep water molecule clusters at the smallest size for a prolonged period of time.
• Filter F has a high-density NSF certified activated carbon, combined with natural magnetic stones, help balance the water to a mild alkaline level and increase the number of calcium ions to further enhance health.

These filters work to ensure that your family only drinks the best quality water. Drinking water, with smaller water molecule clusters, enables the body to better absorb the water, increasing metabolism and enhancing the detoxification process in the body. Ask for your FREE 2 weeks trial today!
