With the water issues taking place in Flint, Michigan, getting heavy media attention, there’s been a lot of focus on the dangers of unclean drinking water<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But there’s also a positive aspect\u00a0to these stories that’s gone underreported: Unclean water is a problem we\u00a0can manage and solve thanks to water filtration technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Flint residents wait for pipes to be replaced, water filtration is the answer to make the water safe to use and consume. President Obama emphasized the importance of home water filtration<\/a> when he visited the region in early May.<\/p>\n

And it’s not just in Flint. Water filtration systems are making an impact around the world, helping people overcome the dangers of unclean water\u2014both in everyday life and in emergency situations.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Another Recent Example of the Positive Impact of Water Filters<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

After a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Ecuador\u00a0in April, the charity Water for Blessings sent water filters to the region. As a source quoted in this article from The Record<\/a> notes:<\/p>\n

“More people will die from living in unhealthy conditions after than will die during the earthquake. [Clean] Water becomes the most critical element following a disaster.”<\/em><\/p>\n

At the time that article was published, the charity had already sent 700 water filters (each of which can provide clean water to 25 people for life) to Ecuador, with the goal of eventually sending 4,500.<\/p>\n

When disaster strikes, water filters save lives. And they do it on a daily basis too. Wherever water contamination is an issue\u2014whether in American communities or developing nations\u2014water filtration systems help to\u00a0protect\u00a0the\u00a0health and wellbeing of the population.<\/p>\n

The goal is clean, safe and healthy drinking water for all. Water filtration systems are definitely helping us get there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
