Can I Have a Drink of Water?
Health in our family has always been a priority, but it became even more so after the birth of our first child. And we’ve always valued the importance of drinking healthy water. But nothing quite hits home until your little baby looks up at you and asks, “Can I have a drink of water?” I mean, when we were kids, it was simple. Head over to the kitchen sink, and fill up a glass of water. But things have changed. With all the chemicals and chlorine that’s mixed into our tap water, most wouldn’t recommend drinking water straight from the faucet. Refrigerator filters never seem to work all that great and bottled water they claim isn’t much better than tap. There are all kinds of filters for the home faucet, but none seemed to be all that effective and others were very expensive. It appeared that the best option was to buy water from a water store, and while the water tasted great, it was expensive (they charged extra for the alkaline), it was a lot of work, and bacteria was often found in our water cooler.
It was then we crossed paths with “The Water Guru,” a man who spent his entire life in the water industry. Of course we had to ask, “Oh great Water Guru, how do we get a good glass of water in our home?” He said that after all his years in the industry, his best recommendation was a reverse osmosis system and that he felt a company by the name of Hague made the best one. Since he wasn’t trying to sell us, and after all, he was a guru, we thought we’d try it for ourselves. In short, we were thrilled. We were able to buy a system that was not only affordable, but now we get clean alkaline water from our faucet without all the hassle and expense. So when our baby asks, “Can I have a drink of water,” we smile inside and whisper, “Absolutely.”
Is Chlorine Affecting Your Family?
Chlorine has been widely used as a primary disinfectant in drinking water for nearly a century. Chlorine’s harshness, part of its disinfecting power, can be quite harmful to the human body.
Washing your face and the rest of your body with chlorinated water can have a very drying effect on your skin, leading to clogged pores and advanced wrinkles and aging. Washing your face with de-chlorinated water will keep your skin soft and looking youthful and healthy. In fact, several reports have shown that Chlorine could be the cause of various forms of cancer and asthma.
Whole house water filtration systems filter water as it reaches your home’s plumbing system, removing Chlorine by-products, tiny organic materials, and any other unwanted chemicals.
Frequently Asked Questions...
Is it true that Reverse Osmosis Water loses its minerals and is unhealthy to drink?
In over 60 years of research, Reverse Osmosis water is said to be similar to rain, and people have been drinking rainwater for thousands of years without negative results. Also, we humans get the vast majority of our minerals from the foods we eat, not from drinking water. RO technology has also been extensively tested in the past by the US military and is approved for and highly used throughout the military as drinking water by the men and women in our armed forces.
Why not just buy bottled water?
One third of all bottled water in the U.S. comes from tap water. Bottled water can be stored for long periods of time at high temperatures. In short, bottled water is less tasty, less eco-friendly, often less healthy, and more expensive.What’s the difference between a whole house filter and a water softener?
Whole-house filters treat Chlorine taste and odors, Iron, Sediment, Sulfur, Acid Water, Tannin and Bacteria. Water softeners simply remove calcium and magnesium and replace it with salt. Also some areas prohibit the use of water softeners as studies show they may cause damage to the environment. With Hague, you have the option to order the house filter with or without the water softener.Why Hague? Why can’t I go to Home Depot and get a system for a lot less?
Since 1960, Hague Quality Water International has been the leader of innovative water treatment technology and offers a 25 year warranty. The Reverse Osmosis holding tank fills up to 5 times faster than other systems with 6 times less waste going down the drain compared to competitors' systems. Hague’s international team of engineers has attained nine patents, just another way Hague is on the cutting edge of water treatment.How bad is fluoride and can it affect my sleeping?
Aren’t these systems expensive and is there financing available?
Fluoride is a dangerous chemical added to tap water under the illusion that it is beneficial to human health. Even the label on our toothpaste warns us not to swallow, and yet many drink this poison on a daily basis. Studies have also shown that Fluoride may reduce levels of melatonin, the sleep hormone, in the body, causing chronic insomnia.
If you buy drinking water, you’re spending the money anyway. Regarding the house system, ask yourself, how important is the health of you and your family? Archwood Springs offers financing so clean, healthy water can be affordable to everyone.
Want Peace of Mind?
Ever wonder if your current water systems are any good or the filters need to be replaced? Archwood Springs has a five star service department that will change your reverse osmosis filter and test your water on an annual basis so you can be rest assured that your home’s water is always safe, healthy and clean for you and your entire family.
Two Interesting Tests...A fun test you can do is measure the TDS or total dissolved solids in your tap water. What this means is that it will tell you how much “stuff” is in your water, (stuff could be pesticides, pharmaceuticals, Chlorine by-products and other unwanted chemicals.)
Next test the amount of Chlorine in your water. Most will find that their tap has the same or more than would be found in a swimming pool. Do that same test again, but this time, let the water run over your hand, before it goes into your test tube. Now suddenly there is no sign of chlorine. Where did it go? Most would agree that that the Chlorine was absorbed into your skin. Now imagine how much water our skin absorbs during a typical shower.
If you’d like to schedule a complimentary water test, please contact Archwood Springs, your exclusive certified Hague representative.
A Little About Jen...
After dabbling with the idea of being a vegetarian in my teens, it wasn't until much later that I took the step into embracing raw foods. Since then, I have never felt better in my life. For years, I had been eating the SAD diet, the Standard American Diet, until I met a friend of my mom's. I was in awe of her radiant glow and beautiful complexion and had to learn her secret. Come to find out she was committed to being a vegetarian and ate a majority of raw foods. Quite simply, she vowed never to put another hamburger or piece of steak on her plate again.
Though the humane reasons are significant, my primary reason for becoming a vegetarian was more for the health issues. I wanted to feel better and have more energy and focus. I also worked as a model and actress, yet I suffered from chronic acne for most of my adult life. Between the stress of my career and the environmental pollutants I encountered by living in Los Angeles, I knew I had to do something. After trying various medications, facials, peels, homeopathy, acupuncture, and herbs, I finally stumbled into the world of raw living foods. In short, they changed my life.
Driven by the desire to not just help others, but help myself, I knew it was time for me to take action and become my own "doctor." That is when I discovered the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida. There I became a certified health educator and nutrition consultant. Since moving back to Los Angeles, I’ve dedicated my life to uncovering the raw truth about how to eat healthy. My passion is to spread these truths to as many people as I can and to help others and their families to live happier and healthier lives. My hope is that you will find the same kind of enjoyment and energy from raw foods as I have. In my free time, I train in my morning Boot Camp class, and my other hobbies include tennis, reading and watching movies. My favorite person in the whole world is my sister Annie. I am also very close to my mom and dad. The best is sharing a laugh with the love of my life, my husband Johnny.
We’re not going to take drastic measures, but try and improve your eating habits a little each day, a little each week. Combine this new healthy approach to food along with a little exercise, and you have the recipe for looking great. Put your trust in me and I promise to help you change your life, even if we have to take one small step at a time.
