Healthy Hacks For Busy Families

Today’s families are busy and on the go, here are 6 solutions to keep your family healthy in simple and convenient ways!

  1. ZeroWater

Product: ZeroWater Pitcher with 5 stage filtration

  • ZeroWater is a five stage filtration device that is certified to reduce lead, chromium and other heavy metals by the NSF.
  • ZeroWater is easy to use for all family members - just pour into a reusable water bottle to keep the family hydrated with clean water.
  • Not all filters are created equal - most families think that all water filters take out all contaminants and this is not true. Just like we are reading labels for other foods -- families should be reading labels on all water filters as well.
  • Zerowater is a 5-stage compared to the 2 stage conventional filters most of us are used to thinking about. Zerowater's technology (ion exchange) takes out more contaminants than other filters on the market.
