Over the years Ed Begley, Jr. has earned a reputation for taking his environmentalism to comic extremes, but when it comes to water filtration, the actor is all business. In his new book, "Ed Begley, Jr.'s Guide to Sustainable Living" (released August 25), Ed devotes an entire chapter to water usage and explains why he chose a LifeSource whole-house water filter for his environmentally green home.
Said Begley, "I prefer to cook with filtered water and shower with filtered water and wash my hands with filtered water, too. Studies have shown that you can actually absorb more toxins from your water by showering in it than by drinking it. So I'm a big fan of whole-house water filtration systems."
The leading water softener alternative, LifeSource Water Systems delivers clean delicious water to the entire house without using salts or magnets, and best of all, they're maintenance free.
Ed had his LifeSource whole-house water filter system installed Sept. 19, 2008. "[It's] a whole-house filter, not just the countertop filter that will give you nice clean water for your tea, your coffee, for your drinking, but a unit that will go outside the house and filter all the water that comes into the house, so your showers will be chlorine-free and chemical-free," said Ed on his reality show, "Living with Ed." "It'll be very good water without taking the minerals out, that's the best thing about LifeSource, I think. I'm looking forward to this water because it tastes good and the testing I saw on it was very, very good."
The third season of "Living with Ed" premiered on Planet Green October 21. "Living with Ed" chronicles the day-to-day, eco-friendly adventures of Ed and his wife, Rachelle, as they navigate life in Los Angeles with Ed always trying to leave the smallest possible carbon footprint in his wake. The second episode on October 28, chronicled their LifeSource whole-house water filter system being installed with Ed and Rachelle discussing its benefits over other water filtration and water softener systems.
