1) Tap and municipal
water are unfortunately contaminated with a wide range of toxic chemicals according
to EPA.

2) Recently, researchers found that on average, a liter of bottled water included
about 240,000 tiny pieces of microplastic.

According to WHO, FDA, & CDC; Lead consumed in the body is dangerous to the
human body, even in small doses, and can cause a variety of health complications. Until 1986, lead pipes, faucets, and plumbing fixtures were
installed in houses, and many of these fixtures were never replaced (2). To this day, these fixtures are the most
common source of lead in drinking water. After years and years of water wearing
down the pipes, the chemical process of corrosion occurs. As the lead pipes corrode, little flakes of metal enter the water that is then dispensed out in
our household pipes.  

The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has drinking water regulations for more than 90 contaminants.

Although we
appreciate the EPA making us aware of certain contaminant levels in our water system, it goes to show that the EPA, CDC, WHO & OSHA can't control everything lurking in our water systems.

The Environmental
Working Group collected data from state agencies and the EPA from 2010 to 2015,
from 48,712 water utilities in 50 states and found 267 out of 500 different contaminants in water of concern, including:

93 linked to an
increased risk of cancer.

78 associated
with brain and nervous system damage.

63 connected to
developmental harm to children or fetuses.

38 that may cause
fertility problems.

45 linked to
hormonal disruption. Ensuring water purity is vital for maintaining good
health. Impurities in water can lead to various health issues, so it's crucial to consume clean and safe water.

Just because we
don't see these contaminant substances in our drinking water doesn't mean that
they are not present. The EPA has already made it known publicly that water.
contaminants do exist in our water.

Our mission at Water
Pitch is to empower everyone begin taking control of their drinking water purity any time
and at any place.

Water Pitch is powered Seychelle Water Filtration (a leading manufacture in
the water filtration industry for over 20 years). Our products are BPA free,
including vegan-based filters; they are independently tested to NSF/ANSI 42, 53
standards against a wide range of water contaminants.  All Standard, Advanced, Radiological and pH
Alkaline filters are tested to remove atleast up to 99.99% of harmful water
contaminants like chlorine, heavy metals, lead, copper, mercury, benzene,
arsenic, chromium 6, agricultural chemicals, VOCs, pesticides, herbicides,
fungicides, PFAS, (PFOA/PFOS), TTHM's, pharmaceuticals, DDTs, microplastics,
nitrates, radiological, and over 300 more contaminants, etc.

-Our more advanced filters remove the same above contaminants up to
99.9999%.

-Our tests show that our advanced filters remove all compounds of PFAS
(PFOA/PFOS, PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, PFNA, PFHpA, and PFDA ) (up to one part per
TRILLION showing results as UNDETECTABLE.

-Our tests also show that advance filters are receiving the same results
when testing for Lead = UNDETECTABLE.

-Our filters also remove all forms of Radiological contaminants.
Gross alpha, gross beta, and radon-222, uranium, cesium-137

*Note: Boiling tap water
does not get rid of radioactive material.

All Filters are Tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 & 53 by Broward Testing
Laboratory.

How does lead enter our water supply?

Unless your home is a new build, odds are that at one point it had galvanized pipes and faucets. As galvanized pipes corrode and form rust, lead
that has accumulated in the zinc over the years can be released and make its
way into the drinking water. According to WHO, FDA, CDC OSHA, confirm that Lead is dangerous to the human body,
even in small doses and can cause a variety of health complications. Until 1986, lead pipes, faucets, and plumbing fixtures were
installed in houses, and many of these fixtures were never replaced (2). To this day, these fixtures are the most
common source of lead in drinking water. After years and years of water wearing
down the pipes, the chemical process of corrosion occurs. As the lead pipes
corrode, little flakes of metal enter the water that is then dispensed out in
sinks. 

While new homes no longer use lead piping, many older homes still have these pipes. The process to replace these pipes is slow and expensive, and it is estimated that 6 to 10 million lead pipes still transport
water into households, as well as other public businesses like schools and daycares. These pipes will corrode the more they are used, exposing more and more people to lead in their water. 

Health Effects of Lead

Lead poisoning can occur when an individual is exposed to even small amounts of lead. Consuming and breathing in
lead is both extremely toxic to all demographics, but it can affect some demographics more severely than others. For example, children are the most
vulnerable to lead poisoning, and children under six are at a particularly high risk.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “Even low levels of lead in the blood of children can result in: behavior and learning problems, lower IQ and hyperact ing problems, and anemia.” 

Fetuses are also a high-risk group, as lead can cross through the placenta and come in contact with the baby. This
puts the mother at risk of a premature birth, and the fetus at risk of reduced
growth.

Lastly, although adults are not as high risk as children, they can still experience the harmful effects of lead poisoning. High blood pressure, decreased kidney function, and reproductive issues are all long-lasting effects of lead exposure (3). 

Regulations
on Lead in Tap Water

Due to its long list of harmful health effects, the EPA set its maximum contaminant level for lead in water at zero (2). This means that even traces of lead in your water is enough to be concerned over and take action.

Public water utilities are required to test their water sources for potential contaminants. If more than 10% of the homes they sample find lead in quantities more than 15 parts per billion, the
company is required to take action (4). However, if less than 10% of the sampled
households come across with lead in their water, no action is required. This means that these households are still vulnerable to lead in their water. The
responsibility then falls on the homeowner to protect themselves from lead
exposure.

-Our STANDARD
Filters are tested to remove up to 99.99%
of the following zones of contaminations:

-Our ADVANCED
Filters are tested to remove up to
99.9999% of the following zones of contaminations:

- The pH Alkaline filters uniquely remove
harmful contaminants without striping the water of its needed minerals like
calcium, magnesium. Our filters are not like certain machines that create alkaline water and strip away the needed minerals from the water. Instead,
Water Pitch filters simply cause the water to become micro-clustered (smaller
in size) so that our bodies can absorb the water quicker and easier.

-Not all Water Pitch Filters cause the water
to become more alkaline. Our pH filters help generate pH alkaline water up to
9.5 and will maintain that level for up to 3 months.

-Our Standard filters do not generate
alkaline water. If you do not want to generate a more pH Alkaline water then
instead, please purchase the Standard filters.
