Safe Water = Healthier Kids

The discussion on trace amounts of pharmaceuticals and other drugs being found in our water continues...


Check and see if your city is on the list (to the left of the article).

While traces of these drugs and other toxins are certainly a concern, it’s comforting to know you can eliminate at least one of the most harmful: Lead.

Lead is the "single most significant environmental health threat to American children," according to the National Resource Defense Council.

In fact, 1 in 6 children have unsafe levels of lead running through their bloodstreams.

Here’s what it can do:

- Cause nervous system damage.

- Damage the kidneys

- Cause birth defects.

- Potentially be fatal.

Homes built before 1930 are very likely to have lead pipes. And even between 1950 and 1980, copper pipes in homes were still connected by lead.

But don’t panic. We have a safe, easy, and cost-saving solution.

Shaklee’s Get Clean® Water Filtration System is the FIRST of all water purifiers to eliminate 99.9% of lead.

Brita® and PUR® cannot make these claims. In fact, the question of lead removal is a “Frequently Asked Question” on Brita®’s website. Their response is that their pitchers “do not meet the revised industry standard for lead reduction.”

In addition to being safe, Shaklee’s Get Clean® water filters 80 gallons (twice the amount of Brita® and PUR®).

Plus, if you place a Get Clean® Water Filtration order by September 7th, you’ll receive a free stainless steel water bottle too! Click here for details, and enter code # 89114 when ordering.
