It's not just drinking water, so many other benefits!
I am delighted with the Zest Water for Life filter I have had fitted at home, in the cupboard under the stairs, just after the house stop tap. I bought it because I recognise that our health starts with what we consume. I am concerned about what is in our drinking water and I wanted to limit our exposure to environmental toxins such as chlorine, forever chemicals, pharmaceuticals, hormones and lead.
Previously, I was buying bottled water for me and my two children to drink and I felt really uncomfortable about all the plastic waste (not to mention the thought that some of the plastics might be leaching into the water).
Since fitting Zest (and it's important it note that it does not the affect water pressure at all!) we now have delicious and healthy drinking water on tap and a host of other benefits that I hadn't fully appreciated until after the filter was fitted:
* My water no longer smells of chlorine.
* The children's water bottles don't smell foisty by the end of the day as they had when we used tap water in the past.
* I no longer have to worry about the children drinking the bath water (before Zest I never even dared think about what might be coming through our skin in the bath!) Now we can all relax while they enjoy a good soak.
* Biofilms don't seem to accumulate in the bathroom and wet areas of the house any more and so there is less cleaning to keep on top of.
* My hands have suffered no dermatitis this winter (the first in a long time) and my skin and hair feel better in general.
* I am looking forward to my dishwasher, washing machine and dryer lasting longer and when my heating system next gets flushed I trust that will benefit, too.
* I'm looking forward to noticing how my clothes, bed sheets, bath towels and things feel after being washed with filtered water over time.
And one of the best things for me is knowing that my Zest filter unit is helping the environment. The toxins that Zest removes from all the water passing through my house are taken back after the two-year lifespan of the filter and disposed of responsibly by Zest, instead of going down the drain to continue to pollute the environment. I had a good chat with Richard about this aspect of the system and he explained how once the filter is returned to Zest, it is opened up and everything inside can be used again. All the toxins that are not useful are removed and disposed of safely, whereby they cannot re-enter the water cycle. Meanwhile, any useful chemicals, such as fertilisers, can be extracted and given back to farmers in a form that will not leach into the groundwater, thanks to the zeolite component of the technology.
So by choosing the Zest system, I have unwittingly become part of a network of people who own Zest whole house water filters and together we are helping to clean up our water. I love that just as much as I love knowing my household doesn't have to worry about what's in the water!
I am very grateful to Zest Water for Life for looking after my family water-wise and for their positive environmental impact. Big thanks!
