I have to be honest with you guys, I'm not that confident in our tap water. It's hard to ignore all of the reports about chemicals such as Chromium 6 and Lead continuously popping up in the news threatening the drinking water in cities across the country. Both contaminants are blamed for everything from birth defects and neurological disorders to organ deterioration and cancer.

It seems like every single time I turn around, I am hearing about the dangers of ingesting the chemicals that are used to make the bottles used for bottled water and soft drinks.
