News — best drinking water

Staying hydrated is one of the most important parts of any physical activity.  It’s essential to follow smart hydration practices. Our body uses water to help us regulate body temperature, aid in our digestion, deliver oxygen all over the body, protect and cushion joints, and flush out unwanted toxins from the body.  Water intake varies widely by individual, so you need to know your own hydration needs. Sometimes we might encounter problems while hiking and one of them is dehydration. Avoiding dehydration is crucial, especially when backpacking the back country and other dry areas without access to any water. Dehydration...

At CLEAR2O®, we know that RVers appreciate the value of pure, clean water – whether it’s for cooking, cleaning, rinsing or, especially, drinking. They know that campgrounds are notorious for having poor-quality water, filled with sediment, contaminants, plastics, and other sorts of undesirable items. As RV Life describes it in an article from June 2017, “You wouldn’t take a sip out of your RV sewer hose, but connecting to some campground water supply lines could be just as disgusting and dangerous to your health.” And while the water flowing in the streams and rivers of the backcountry may look pure,...

Among the many reasons to invest in water filtration products – pitchers, countertop filters, water bottles, and RV filters, to name a few - is to help reduce the number of plastic bottles that end up in our landfills The numbers are staggering.

Turn on your kitchen faucet, fill up a glass, and have a nice cool drink of water. Sounds like the kind of thing you can do without thinking. Unfortunately, these days, you do have to think about it – a lot. As noted in our last blog, a vast majority of the unsafe tap water in our country is found in cities and towns where the contaminants actually meet legal standards. In an article from the Fox News website, Olga Naidenko, Ph.D., EWG’s vice president for science investigations, was quoted in a press release as saying, “The vast majority of...

Our mission at CLEAR2O is to create water filtration products that deliver the cleanest, purest water possible. Although we love what we do, we often wish we didn’t have to do it. Imagine a world in which all the water supplies were totally contaminant-free. We’d have to find another profession, but somehow, we’d manage. Unfortunately, the reality is that unsafe water – especially for drinking – lurks in far too many places. Some of the instances are more conspicuous, and more egregious, than others. There are few people who don’t remember the fiasco in Flint, MI, where in 2014, cost-cutting...
