Test your water.

How many people understand where their drinking water comes from? How many people know what is in the water that they drink? These are things that I occasionally think about. Depending on where you get your water from, there could be an array of problems attached to your drinking water. Most bottled waters have different problems with them also. Every company that sells their bottled water cleans their water differently and/or adds different things into the water. So, if you really want to know what is in the water that you normally drink then you need to go to the store and get a PH test kit and a TDS meter.
The PH test kit will tell you what the part of the PH scale the water is on. The Ph scale ranges from zero to fourteen, with seven being neutral. Neutral all the way up to 14 on the scale is good for drinking water. If it is below seven then it is more acidic. Bacteria thrives on acid so that is not what you want your drinking water to be like. A TDS meter measures the ppm (part per million) of dissolved solids in water. Zero means just that, there are zero per million. The scale goes up to eight hundred. The more ppm the worse off the drinking water is.
I would suggest buying those two products (PH scale kit and TDS meter) in order to test you drinking water as soon as possible. You should test all the water that you could possibly drink some time in the future. Or you could test water before you drink it.
