Pro LabTM Water Quality Test Kit
Since drinking water is so important to life, and yet some contaminants are so potentially harmful, it is worthwhile to try to drink the safest and most healthful water possible. Poor water quality has been linked to a wide array of deadly diseases. What Is Water? Water consists of one (1) oxygen atom bonded to two (2) hydrogen atoms (H2O). It covers 70% of our planet and is the largest single component of the human body. In safe, healthful form, it is essential for all life on earth. Many drinking waters have a good taste, because they are found in nature. However, water generally contains many contaminants and concentration levels are considered safe, others may be capable of causing a wide range of health problems and even immediate death. For this reason, it is very important to know if any contaminates are in your water. What is Water Quality? Water quality is determined by the amount of contaminants in your drinking water. If the contaminants in the water are relatively harmless, and the water is aesthetically pleasing, the water is considered good. Although your water may appear colorless and safe, it can contain harmful contaminants. If any contaminants in the water are hazardous to human health, you should not drink the water. Where Does Your Drinking Water Come From? About half of our drinking water supply comes from surface water such as streams, rivers and lakes. The other half comes from ground water which is in underground streams and huge underground basins called "aquifers." Using both surface water and groundwater, 79,000 water utilities supply water to 230 million people in the U.S. Between 20 and 40 million Americans get their water from private wells.
