Tips For Selecting the Most Effective Kitchen Sink Water Filter To Give You Healthy Safe Water

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Ray Hamilton asked:


The benefits of a sink water filter cannot be understated today and is important if you want to live a longer and healthier life. It is essential that the water we consume is as pure as possible and not the chemical cocktail it has become, so here are some tips to guide you to the very best today.

As we are composed of 70% water ourselves, the quality of what we drink directly affects our health and well-being and needs to be as pure as possible, making a kitchen sink water filter the perfect solution.

With recent studies highlighting the fact that we have over 2000 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer in our drinking water today including pesticides, herbicides, chlorine and lead, the right system is vital.

A study of 29 major U.S. cities by the Environmental Working Group found that all 29 cities had traces of at least one weed killer in the drinking water. The report titled “Weed Killers by the Glass” went on to say that millions of Americans are routinely exposed to one or more pesticides in a single glass of tap water.

According to the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality, “Cancer risk among people using chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose supply does not contain it.”

With the risks so great and the solution so simple, why take the chance?

The two main types of sink water filter are reverse osmosis (RO) and carbon block filters. The RO systems fail to stop many of today’s harmful synthetic chemicals getting through as their filters are not small enough but what they do remove are vital trace minerals like calcium and magnesium.

We need these minerals to remain healthy or we are at risk of becoming mineral deficient.

The most effective type which actually chemically bonds the contaminants to the surface of the filter are activated granular carbon ones with the best employing a multi-stage process and ion exchange to ensure that 99% of all the contaminants are removed.

These will leave you with healthy safe water with all those vital minerals left in and will help you and your family maintain much better health than if you drank unfiltered water.

Visit my website today if you would like to learn more about the types of kitchen sink water filter systems that I personally recommend and use.

Why Shop Direct – Everything For The Kitchen

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010
temp_124225 asked:


Most Americans who want to remodel, or upgrade their kitchen, think about their local hardware store chain when it comes to where to shop. While this is an easy solution, it’s probably not the best. This article focuses on the advantages of buying direct from a retailer that focuses on a more specific market, instead of the "everything under one roof" approach of the big chain stores.

It’s common sense that if you can buy everything from nails to concrete to lumber to lawn mowers at a store, it’s probably not going to have the widest variety of what you need when you really want to get a remodeling or building job right. For an example, consider www.BeesonDirect.com, which specializes in all types of decorative fixtures and hardware for bathrooms, kitchens, cabinet hardware and general hardware, and similar decorative fixtures and items. No nails and lawn mowers, which means that you know they’re really paying attention. Beeson Direct has been in business since 1883, so they were in the industry to witness the creation of every single new invention or design in the industry for over a hundred years!

So let’s consider just one category of Beeson Direct’s offering - kitchen fixtures: they carry kitchen sinks (including cast iron kitchen sinks and several other types of kitchen sink of varying designs, made from different types of material), kitchen sink faucets, cabinet hardware and other types of specialized hardware and fixtures. Now consider this: Beeson Direct carries kitchen sinks from more than 30 top manufacturers! So you’re talking variety, right? See what I mean at this link: http://beesondirect.com/undermount-kitchen-sinks/undermount-kitchen-sinks.html

Of course they’re not all just about kitchen sinks; there are all types of quality home fixtures by the best manufacturers at Beeson Direct. Check it out for yourself.

Can a pedestal sink be installed next to a heater vent?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Amy S asked:


My parents want to replace their wall mounted bathroom sink with a pedestal sink. The heater comes up through the corner of the floor and the wall, therefore the sink stand would be about 1′ away from the heater vent. Is there a minimum distance the pedestal needs to be away from the vent?

I have low Pressure to kitchen sink and bathroom sinks, good in other places?

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
Kenneth B asked:


I am rehabbing a townhouse. I get good pressure from places that don’t go through the hot water tank. In the kitchen and bathrooms the pressure is low. I put in a new hot water tank thinking that would help (it was rusted too) and the problems persisted. Is their a hidden reducer that needs to be adjusted. All the piping is copper. Any suggestions.
