What's in Your Water?

Recently there has been a lot of buzz surrounding tap water and whether or not it's really all that clean due to the reported 90 contaminants that can be found in the water coming from your tap. Since I told you about the cleanest bottled water you can get, I should also tell you about the potentially least clean water you can get: Your tap water.

Here is the thing: Most of the contaminants found in tap water are harmless and not causes for concern, but nonetheless it is kind of gross just knowing they are there. Sometimes I just need a glass of water and since bottled is not always an option, I am not giving up on my tap water just yet.

Maybe you don't want to be overly cautious, but Silverlake Research has created an All-in-One Watersafe Kit ($16.99). Depending on your outlook on life, this could be the best (or most anal) thing you ever got for under 20 bucks.

Fit's Tip: If using the Watersafe Kit is not in your future for everyday use, it is a great thing to bring along if you are traveling to a place where the water is questionable to drink (like airplanes, Mexico or your little brother's frat house).
