Bottled Water

As we now seem to be getting into our hot weather, it is important that people know the dangers of bottled water being left in the car. As we all know, when you leave your car parked and then return to it, the heat inside the car is sometimes unbearable. If you have left a bottle of water in your car for a time, the water gets quite hot, and, as we have all done, we drink it.
This has now proven to be very dangerous. Under normal circumstances, when bottled water is stored, after a period of only 3 months, the plastic of the bottle will give off toxins in the water. This in turn will cause upset tummies and diahorrea. When left in heat, the toxins become dioxins, which can cause breast cancer. The answer is, DO NOT store water in plastic bottles. Water should only be stored in glass containers.
The answer to all the problems is not to buy bottled water.
Have a water filter fitted which comes straight from the mains. The water in La Marina and surrounding areas is quite good. A lot of people drink it straight from the tap. A Dual Water filter that is supplied by Pureflo Spain will take out the smell and the taste of chlorine, kill 99.99% of bacteria, including MRSA, e coli, salmonella and many others, thereby leaving you great tasting water, with all the nutrients left in. Don't gamble with your health. All genuine Pureflo Spain products are fully registered and certified. Come and see me, Tom, for a chat on La Marina market every Thursday and Sunday, or, give me a ring on 627 769 102. Also available are chillers, and electonic descalers.

Must admit I have never tried drinking the local water, but have often been told that local spanish people do drink it.

Would be interested to hear from other locals on this subject.

Plus any opinions on these often used filters.
