10 Common Myths About Water Debunked

By: Water Damage Team

1) After you use water, it’s gone forever.
After water is used, it’s actually recycled over, and over, and over again. Water is very resilient and responds well to treatments. Buy using water from contaminated streams, lakes, and wells it is a completely different story. To keep our drinking water safe, it must receive regular treatment and have appropriate source protection.

2) Using a water treatment device or filter will make tap water healthier.
Thousands of people use home water filters to improve the smell, taste, or appearance of their tap water, but it does not necessarily make the water healthier or safer. Unless you have a well with contaminated water, the water that comes out of your kitchen sink is as nutritious as water gets.

3) Drinking coffee or tea will keep you hydrated.
Most of us think that since beverages are made up mostly of water that they will keep us hydrated. In many cases, the exact opposite is true. Many beverages are solutes (meaning they contain dissolved solid materials) and some are diuretics (which may even dehydrate your body).

4) Eight glasses a day is the right amount of water for everyone.
The amount of water you should drink depends on your size, activity level, and age in addition to other factors such as your diet and stress level. A 100 lb female living in a temperature-controlled environment will obviously not require as much water as a 215 lb male doing vigorous physical activity in 100 degree whether.

5) Drinking water can never cause health problems.
If you drink too much water you can suffer from water poisoning, which can even result in death. Last year, there was a widely reported incident where a Sacramento, CA resident died after drinking mass amounts of water for a radio competition.

6) There are no federal restrictions on bottled water.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under federal law, companies must test bottled water for the same 80-some contaminants as municipal water.

7) If you don’t like water just drink soda.
Water is by far the best hydration fluid. Soda does not even compare. An 8-ounce sugar-based cola has about 95 calories. The sugar in soda will even rot your teeth. Regardless, rinsing your mouth with a glass of water after any sugary drink can actually help protect against cavities.

8) Lots of water is the only way to maintain green grass.
During the summer, your lawn needs about an inch of water per week. Too much water can actually kill a lawn. Roots need a period of dryness in order to remain healthy.

9) Drinking water before a meal can help you lose weight.
The water you drink before or during a meal won't keep you from overeating. The only way water will help you feel full is if the water is found in foods like fruits and vegetables.

10) It’s impossible to get dehydrated while swimming.
You're actually more likely to become dehydrated when you spend time in a water source such as a pool or the ocean. Why? Thirst is controlled by the volume of blood at the center of your body.
