WHAT IS THE BEST WATER?

“I have been studying about different waters. I was told recently that the best water is oxygenated water. What is your opinion and where can I find a machine to make the best water to drink. I've recently moved into a house that was built in the 1830s and I'm a little leery of the water pipes. The water smells like iron. I really need to find the best solutions.”

ANSWER: I'm not so concerned about finding the absolute, ultimate, definitive kind of water. You want to drink pure water, not polluted water. There are many ways to purify water, such as distilling, high-quality filters, reverse-osmosis, and so on. Those are all great ways to obtain pure water.

I do not advocate one type of water as being “the best.” I find that I prefer reverse-osmosis or distilled water, but most of the time I drink my tap water, which in my house comes from a well and has been tested for purity. I wouldn't do this anywhere else because the quality of tap water in most cities is extremely questionable.

There will always be new ways to purify water and there will always be people to sell those machines, claiming that their water is “the best.” I also think that people in the natural health movement make a much bigger deal about finding the “best water” than it actually is. I suggest that you find a solution that works in your situation, for your budget and in your home. An Internet search for water purification solutions in your area will be a good start.
