Whether your water comes from a well or a municipal source, unless you're doing regular water testing, you never know when your water may contain unhealthy contaminants. So, being proactive rather than reactive is the best way to prevent potential waterborne diseases, such as cholera, giardia, e-coli, or dysentery. We've got several solutions to fight common water contamination issues, saving you the headache of having to boil water or purchase bottled water. Our products can help protect your family's health with clean drinking water at the Lake of the Ozarks. This week we are featuring the Viqua Home™ Series UV water treatment system:

The quality of drinking water can change with time and become contaminated with harmful bacteria. Viqua’s Home and Tap families of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems offer a reliable, economical and chemical-free way to safeguard your drinking water. Our systems have been designed and tested to ensure quality drinking water is at everyone’s fingertips.

Regardless of your need, there is a Viqua system to suit your requirements. Our Tap family – point of use systems that install under the sink, or “at the tap” – offers systems for water flows of 1 gpm to 4 gpm. Our Home family – point of entry systems that are plumbed in where your water enters your home - offers systems that range in flow rates from just 6 gpm for a small home or cottage, up to 18 gpm for a larger home or even a small business. Some of these systems even incorporate pre-filtration, saving you a step!

Staying properly hydrated in the summer months can be much trickier than in the other seasons, mostly because with the higher temperatures, our bodies are losing fluid in the form of sweat. Since we need to replace the fluid lost by sweating, our hydration needs tend to be higher in the hotter months.

Why is important to keep your body hydrated? It's important for several reasons, including body temperature stability, bowel regularity, reduced kidney stone risk, and filtering waste products, just to name a few. So this week, Lindyspring Systems offers you some information on the signs of dehydration to watch for, as well as some tips to help keep your body hydrated throughout the hot summer days.

Signs of Dehydration

Most of us associate dehydration with muscle cramps, fatigue, and extreme thirst. While these are signs of dehydration, that's not the worst of it. If we don’t keep up with our water intake, especially in hot weather or while exercising, our thinking and cognition can suffer. Just a 2% reduction in body water weight can lead to problems with short-term memory, attention, and visual-motor tracking.

Other signs that you may be dehydrated include loss of appetite, dry mouth, mild constipation, and temporary lightheadedness. A good measurement of your level of hydration is the color of your urine. Pale urine indicates adequate hydration while darker colored urine is a sign that your body needs more fluids immediately.

Tips for Staying Hydrated

We know how important hydration is to our health, but the question remains, how do we increase our water intake without feeling waterlogged or sprinting to the bathroom every five minutes? Here are a few simple tips to keep you hydrated.
2. Infuse with flavor.
Whether you prefer limes, lemons, oranges, berries, or cucumbers, infusing your water with fresh fruit can make for a refreshing and spa-like beverage, without any added artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Not only will it give your water a little flavor to help with soda or juice cravings, you'll be more likely to drink more of it.

3. Eat your way to hydration.
The good news is that only 70-80% of your daily hydration needs to come from water; 20-30% should actually come from food! All whole fruits and vegetables contain some amount of water, so snacking on something like watermelon, cucumbers or tomatoes can help make up some of the water your body needs.

If you live at the Lake of the Ozarks or own a business here, you probably struggle with some sort of water issue - whether its hardness, chlorine taste, odd smelling water, or maybe even floaters in your water. Drinking water can help increase energy, productivity, and improve overall health. So, if you're looking for a drinking water solution that provides clean, crisp and great tasting water, you've come to the right place. Lindysprings Lake of the Ozarks offers commercial and residential Bottled & Bottleless Water Cooler Systems!

Readily Available Clean Drinking Water

• Scheduled Water Deliveries

Eliminate the Heavy Bottled Water
Bottleless water coolers are a low maintenance set-it and forget-it system. Once the system is installed, just simply replace the pre-filters every 6 months to enjoy fresh delicious water.
