Clean Water …. day 27
Clean water is core to good health. While there are many factors that determine how much water makes up the human body, the average is some where around 65%. When broken down into various organs water makes up 75% of our brain, 80% of our blood, and 96% of our liver. Amazing, huh? There’s no getting around it. Water is important in nearly every aspect of our health. We know that drinking enough water each day is essential.
We need to make sure that this water that we are taking into our bodies is clean water. But it’s not just the water that we drink that is important, but also water that we bath with, cook with and play in. These can affect our health as well. When the streams, rivers and lakes are polluted, the fish and wildlife that rely on that water are also affected. In the long run this affects us in a bad way.
While Shaklee has developed cleaning products that are environmentally friendly and bio-degradable, that was just not enough. Going a step further in their Get Clean line, Shaklee has developed GET CLEAN® WATER to provide us with clean water in our homes.
What Shaklee Has to Say
The water from your tap may look clean, but exactly how safe is it? Relax. Cleaner, healthier water is just a pitcher away.
Introducing Get Clean Water Get Clean Water is a revolutionary new water-filtration pitcher system certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA) to reduce up to 99% of lead1, as well as dozens of other nasty contaminants that can turn up in your water and may be harmful to your health.
Multipatented Get Clean Water uses a solid block of carbon to filter and clean your water. Each Get Clean Water filter handles 80 gallons of water, twice as much as Brita® and PUR®2, and each filter is made from sustainable coconut shell carbon using a zero- emission process. Plus, it’s the first pitcher with a refillable carbon-block filter system, so there’s less waste going to the landfills.
Cleaner, healthier water and a cleaner, healthier planet? We can all drink to that!

Did You Know?
✔ An Environmental Working Group (EWG) study found a total of 316 contaminants, including 97 agricultural and 204 industrial contaminants, in the tap water of 45 states. More than half of the contaminants de- tected have no drinking-water safety standards.*
✔ According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, public water utilities have violated the Safe Drinking Water Act more than 700,000 times in the past seven years.**
✔ Unlike public water utilities, the bottled water industry is not required to publicly disclose the results of any contaminant testing it conducts.
✔ Bottled water may not be contaminant free. The EWG found a total of 38 contaminants in the water of 10 popular brands.***
were done…right in front of us…the results were amazing. The stuff that was floating in our water turned to a nasty green color and filled the glass. I was so disgusted. I had the representative test a bottle of spring water too. There was a little discoloration, but not so much to gross me out. The rep said that some of those particles in the bottled water came from the plastic containers and not just the water. It got me to thinking that if things from the plastic can be in the water, what about what is in our water lines? I mean, who cleans those? And since they don’t get cleaned…..eewwwwwww!!! Of course, the rep was here to sell me an entire water filtration system for our house…for every water faucet, toilets, showers….EVERYTHING. I can guarantee you had we had 10 grand to do it, we would have eagerly paid for the system. Not many of us have that just laying around. I knew Shaklee had the water system pitcher and after saying good bye to the rep, told Greg that we were going to use that. He agreed and now our clean water comes from Shaklee. I use it for cooking and drinking. It’s not quite enough to bathe in (haha), but at least it’s a start. Make your start to clean water with a Shaklee water system!! You’ll be glad you did!
