How safe is my drinking water ?
Published 2020-04-17
If you have UV and / or RO water filter you most likely have clean drinking water. There are rare occurrences where reservoirs or taps have contaminant issues so it's just reassuring to know the status of the water you drink every day.
In the USA;
The Clean Water Act (CWA (not the "Safe Drinking Act" as I incorrectly referred to in my video)) establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface waters

In the UK;
The Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) was formed in 1990 to provide independent reassurance that water supplies in England and Wales are safe and drinking water quality is acceptable to consumers

I’ve been drinking distilled and so far from my research it seems like the best bet

The Drinking Water Inspectorate does not undertake any day to day testing of drinking water. This is done by the individual water companies themselves. They have different classes of samples that they take. So there are regulatory samples, which have to be taken at certain intervals and there are customer complaint samples and possibly samples that the water company themselves may choose to take to monitor for problems. There is a big problem in this in so much as turkeys don't vote for Christmas. So if there was a problem with the water, would a water company report this to the DWI or would they just correct it as best as possible and hope that it didn't come to their attention?

I've never seen strips with as many indicator/tests on them as the ones you are using in this video.. can you share where you got them from plus the manufacturer and product name?

I love distilled water. And my water distiller. I'll never drink or use tap water again.
