and Drugs in Drinking Water
CuZn One Micron Countertop Filter Removes Nearly All Cysts
and Pharmaceutical Drugs from Water
Cysts
A Cyst is a closed pocket or pouch of tissue; a cyst can be filled with air, fluid, pus, or other material. Common water-borne microbiological cysts are Cryptosporidium or Giardia cysts.
CRYPTOSPORIDIUM
Cryptosporidium is a parasite that enters lakes and rivers through sewage and animal waste. It causes cryptosporidiosis, a mild gastrointestinal disease. However, the disease can be severe or fatal for people with severely weakened immune systems.
GIARDIA
Giardia lamblia is a parasite that enters lakes and rivers through sewage and animal waste. It causes gastrointestinal illness (e.g. diarrhea, vomiting, cramps).
Giardia outbreaks can occur in communities where water supplies become contaminated with raw sewage. It can be contracted by drinking water from lakes or streams where water-dwelling animals such as beavers and muskrats, or where domestic animals such as sheep, have caused contamination.
Pharmaceutical Drugs
As recently reported in the news, analysis of tap water supplies
in major metropolitan areas conducted by the Associated Press has
revealed that the water supply in 24 major U.S. cities -- serving
over 40 million people -- are contaminated with trace amounts of
pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, anti-seizure medications,
anti-inflammatory drugs, psychotropic drugs, pain medications and
even caffeine. The upshot of the report is that tens of millions of
Americans are unwittingly being subjected to a bizarre medical
experiment with unpredictable results. No scientist can say for
certain whether long-term exposure to micro doses of multiple
pharmaceuticals is safe because such an experiment has never before
been conducted on any population.
Three excellent methods for removing cysts and pharmaceutical drugs from drinking water is to
super chlorinate the water, boil the water for one minute or use a one
micron filter.
NOTE: Flow capability usually drops off as
the micron rating gets smaller, especially if the water has a lot of
sediment, which well water often has. Unless you are sure that cysts
or pharmaceutical drugs are a problem, you might be happier with the 5 micron
countertop or
under-counter water
filters.
