FACTS & FAQ’s:
It is estimated that over a 70-year lifespan, a person drinking tap or mineral water will be ingesting about 200 to 300 pounds of rock that their body cannot use. While most of these microscopic rock minerals will be eliminated from our bodies regularly, some will be stored in our tissues becoming toxic. The primary culprits are calcium salts and over time they can cause gallstones, kidney stones, bone & joint calcification, arthritis, and hardening and blocking our arteries. The presence of other hard metal minerals (some are radioactive!) is suspected to cause other degenerative diseases as well including eye glaucoma, cataracts, hearing loss, emphysema, diabetes, obesity and cancer. These minerals available, especially in “hard” tapwater, are poorly absorbed, or rejected by cellular tissue sites, and, if not evacuated, their presence may cause arterial obstruction, and internal damage.(Dennison 1993, Muehling 1994, Banik 1989)

Distillation systems are comparable in contaminant removal, however since many synthetic chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides and chlorine solutions have boiling points lower than water, these chemicals will vaporize and can be carried over into the product water container actually making the collected purified water even more concentrated in those particular chemicals.

Reverse osmosis is also the only purification system that can remove the majority of dangerous Pharmaceuticals & Drugs from our drinking water. Reverse osmosis removes many contaminants that countertop and faucet carbon filters cannot including viruses, bacteria, pesticides, arsenic, fluoride, drugs, cryptosporidium, mercury, nitrates, microbes, heavy metals, all radioactive materials, and many more.

Guide to safe showering in questionable tap water. This was filmed in Ho Chi Minh City, but it applies generally. Use swimming goggles and an Aquasana shower filter to protect yourself from common urban water contaminants, such as manganese vapor, chlorine, chloramine, iron, lead, pesticide, and industrial effluent.

Note that the Aquasana doesn’t produce potable water! It only reduces the toxicity enough to mitigate skin burns and inhalated carcinogens.

You can buy an Aquasana and filter cartidges online in the US, but not many other places. Filters typically last 6 months. You can tell that it’s time to change it when your skin starts to burn post-shower, as is typical with unfiltered tap water.

A gender-changing pipe segment (such as the blue plastic one in this video) may be necessary to connect the filter apparatus to your shower outlet. Be sure to seal the ends with nylon plumbers’ tape. Generally, a pipe diameter change will not be necessary.

Inevitably, the goggles will come loose, allowing water to flow into the eyes. Eye wash (distilled water — not contact lens solution) will provide relief post-shower. Eye wash is not, to my knowledge, available in Vietnam.
