Water Filtration is Vital for Better Health

Water Filtration is Vital for Better Health

“Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink”, Coleridge wrote in ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’.

We all know that water is essential for good health.  In fact, it is the single most important substance in relation to our health. Sixty percent of the human body is made up of water, depending on how hydrated or dehydrated we are. The Ancient Mariner’s problem was salt water; ours is that the water coming straight to our taps is full of chemicals and toxins that are not good for our health.

So, if we drink water that is loaded with man-made chemicals and heavy metals every day, it is going to influence our health and well-being. Those of you who are regular readers know that I have been experiencing some health issues at the moment, one of them being dehydration, even though I drink plenty of water. So perhaps the problem lies with the quality of the water I am drinking.

Why get a Water Filtration System?

We have had a couple of rather basic systems over the years and the last one (below) hadn’t been replaced for some time, so was probably doing more harm than good.

Our drinking water in Malahide has a horrible chlorine taste, which I can even taste in tea. There are obviously numerous other hidden nasties as well; we all know that there are more chemicals now in the water supply than ever before, because local water utilities add toxic chemicals to treat water instead of filtering and purifying it.

We knew that domestic filtration systems had improved in leaps and bounds since we last got ours and it was while researching for a replacement that we came across Renewell.

What is The Renewell Water Filtration System?

Renewell is an Irish-owned company with the slogan ‘Buy the Filter, Don’t be the Filter’. I love it.

They use a sophisticated filtration system called Reverse Osmosis, which takes your water back to pure H2O no matter what state it is in. This is done simply by squeezing it through small pores 1000 times smaller than a strand of hair.

Our new system

We went for the Renewell Elite 1 (above), an ultra slimline 5-stage reverse osmosis purifier and the most compact and effective purifier on the market today. The water passes through 5 individual filters before it reaches the separate counter-top faucet.

It is guaranteed to remove Fluoride, THMS, Chlorine, Aluminium, Lead, Bacteria, E-Coli, Chloroforms, Iron, Manganese, Plastic Microfibres, Trace Medications and much more.

It has an in-built microcomputer to let you know when your system needs to be serviced, has a blockage or has any other problem.

 Some of the Benefits of Filtered Water

  • A better standard of health for you and your family
  • Lubrication of body joints, leading to better mobility
  • Aiding muscle tone & flexibility
  • Alleviation of fatigue to liver, kidneys & heart
  • Speeding recovery from illness

Not only does filtered water lead to physical improvements, it also reduces costs both in terms of healthcare and other expenses, such as:

  • Saving money on buying bottled water
  • Reducing your medical services
  • No more taste of bleach (Chlorine)
  • Tea & Coffee tastes much better

If you have a major limescale problem, softened water gives significant improvement in skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and others, while also avoiding expenditure on descaling products.

Renewell

The company was exceptional in its communication with us.  Our main person of contact was Paul and he was more than helpful.  Once we had decided to go ahead with the purchase, we were contacted regarding dates and times. Stephen the fitter/installation expert phoned us on the way to say he would be a little late. The installation took only about 40 mins and as we had a separate tap faucet already, there was no drilling. Everything was explained in detail and all our questions answered.  The company will contact us yearly to remind us it is time for a service.

We were also taken by the company’s wonderful play on words – ReNEWELL for the founder Simon NEWELL and RENEWAL for renewing our bodies with pure water!

Well worth visiting their website for more details and costs and perhaps even phoning to see if they have any special offers.

Result

We are thrilled with our new system, our water tastes crisp and refreshing and we know that we are being proactive in regard to our health.

I now enjoy drinking my water straight from the tap or with added lemon.

There is no need to buy expensive bottled water.

There is no need to descale our kettle (GG’s job every month).

And did I mention the tea? I absolutely love my morning cuppa. Now it is scum-free and divine.

This is an investment; when it comes to our health, we are convinced it is money well spent.

The company has offered a special promotional price for all my readers if you wish to purchase, quoting the promotional code 44658529.

You can contact Paul by email on paul@renewellwater.com or the company by phone (042-9420517).

    It’s so important to have access to clean, filtered water. We have a filter on our refrigerator with a computer that tells us when to change it. Glad you found a great system that’s working for you and tastes great. Happy week!

    We just use the Brita Filtration pitchers but it may be time to invest in something more substantial. I can even taste bleach when I drink the water straight from our tap!

      I think we all need to do what we can depending on our finances. In my case it is an investment in our health. Everything helps. Thanks for commenting.

And I am lounging around in a hoodie  @primark and @carraig_donn comfy trousers. Psst! They have a slightly elasticated waist. I always swore I would never wear trousers without a structured waistband!
And yet here I am. But they are comfy and stylish and I love the stripes down the sides. Check out my blog and my friends  @is_this_mutton_  @annasislandstyle  @mummabstylish  and @thestylesplash.
And recommend some nice loungewear sets please. I need to up my game!

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Go check out my friends @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash to see what they wear when they are out and about.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

From the archives. Remember when we tried on dress From the archives. Remember when we tried on dresses etc in changing rooms? And browsed in shops?
This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
