It is of utmost importance that we drink water, especially clean, filtered water on a regular basis. According to medicinenet.com, water is a critical element of the body and adequate hydration is a must to allow the body to function. Up to 75% of the body's weight is made up of water. Most of the water is found within the cells of the body (intracellular space). The rest is found in what is referred to as the extracellular space, which consists of the blood vessels (intravascular space) and the spaces between cells (interstitial space).   Dehydration occurs when the amount of water leaving the body is greater than the amount being taken in. The body is very dynamic and always changing. This is especially true with water in the body.

None understands the danger of dehydration more than a football coach.  Since football season begins during the hottest months of the year, hydration is a key element in keeping players healthy.  There is no better way to hydrate the body than with water, and players will drink more if the water tastes good.

Fresno State Bulldogs coach, Pat Hill, needed a permanent solution to the problem of keeping enough filtered water on the field during the hot months in Fresno.  Coach Hill recognized that drinking water from bottles was not only wasteful, but expensive.  His staff was tired of filling water carts and dragging them over one thousand yards in the Fresno heat.   With Coach Hill’s fast paced practices, trainers couldn’t keep up with the demand for water.  Coach Hill found and installed a LifeSource Whole House Water System next to the field.  Now the Bulldogs are properly hydrated, as trainers fill their carts on the field.  This has led to increased water consumption and better performance, as well as drastically reduced bottled water costs and masses of empty bottles.  Coach Hill liked the LifeSource Water System so much that he got one for his home.

Coach Hill says, “When it come to water, I want the best for our players…that’s why I recommend and believe in LifeSource Water Systems.”
