The quality of our water supply and the levels of heavy metal contaminants in our well water is becoming a bigger issue. Heavy metals like manganese are more bioavailable to our bodies when in drinking water (vs eating, breathing them etc). The water hardness and heavy metals in our well water are evident – to my drying skin and brittle hair; my ‘dingy laundry'; and my plumbing fixtures stained with orange and black (iron and manganese). The thing that is unseen is the level of heavy metals present in our water. Manganese is found in my community well water at 2.17 times greater than the SMCL* enforced by the EPA / WA State on public systems (*for more detail see www.watersmart.biz). Manganese is at higher levels in other spots on the island. Arsenic is also common, often at high levels. Europe has recognized manganese as a ‘neurotoxin', like arsenic, for quite some time. The US is slowly catching up. Health authorities are now deleting statements like manganese is ‘just a nuisance' or ‘does not pose a threat to human health'. Private well owners aren't required to test their water, although it sure is a good idea. Watersmart can have your water tested for you. It's what you can't see that is really important for your family's health.Watersmart LLC is now a master dealer for ECOSmarte Water Quality Systems (a 26 year old US manufacturer) that purify and soften your water, with no added chemicals for your whole house to provide premium quality water for your insides and your outsides .
