The Environmental Working Group conducted water tests over a 5-day period recently in Washington DC. The tests were done at schools, homes, office buildings, the US Capitol, and the EPA office buildings. The Environmental Working Group, a non-profit agency, tested the waters after a month-long over-chlorination the Washington Aqueduct does annually in hopes of removing […]

Consumers are said to spend a collective $100 Billion every year on bottled water. The average 16 oz. bottle of drinking water from a convenient store costs approximately $0.89. You may think that this is relatively inexpensive, but I believe you’ll be surprised once you see the comparison in costs to that of portable filtered water. 
A 16oz carbon filtered water […]

KDF/Chlorgon shower filters work on a similar principle to a Catalytic Converter in an automobile. In shower filtration free-chlorine is converted into a harmless chloride. The scientific name for this chemical reaction is known as “Reduction-Oxidation”, commonly referred to as Redox. 
Redox reactions can be chemically complex. Simply stated, during a Redox reaction electrons are transferred […]

There are five basic methods to address water safety problems: bottled water, boiling, distilling, and filtering.
For many travelers, the best option is a personal water filter, which filters water without the delay of distillation, or the thirty-minutes required with iodine or chlorine tablets alone. Not to mention portable water filters are the least expensive and most convenient […]

Undertreated water is a wonderful home for microorganisms such as viruses (polio, hepatitis), bacteria (cholera, salmonella, streptococcus), and parasites (Giardia Lamblia, Cryptosporidium). Exposure to these organisms can cause serious illness, and in some cases may be fatal.
These risks are avoidable when using the proper method of filtration. If you or someone you know travels internationally […]

Think for a second. When you want the cleanest, best tasting water what do you think of? If you could put your hands on fresh, clean water right now, where would you turn? Tap water? Bottled water? Most likely not. Everybody knows that tap water is quite gross, and most bottled water is very expensive […]

When traveling overseas, inadequate sanitation and contaminated water are the leading cause of illness in travelers. To protect yourself, consider your drinking water carefully, and don’t overlook the “hidden” water you use to wash foods, brush teeth, ice, etc.
The easiest method to alleviate these worries while traveling is to use a portable filter. They are […]

Everyone wants to drink spring water, and believe it or not, the public pays at least $1 for bottle water. Ten years ago, most people would have thought you where crazy! Today it is a must to drink pure, clean water. More importantly, filtered water and filtered water bottles can bring you that pure water wherever you go. Removing harmful […]

In today’s society, everyone is aware that our ground water is highly contaminated. If you were to ask someone where the cleanest water could be found, what do you think they would say?
Would they say?

bottled water
spring water
distilled water 
reverse osmosis water

The list could go on and on and on, but none of these are correct.
The safest […]

The recent Safe Water Report released by the EPA recommends using water filters for all drinking and cooking water sources in the US. They warn that levels of nitrates and lead found in tap water throughout the country have been found at unsafe levels. They also warn that boiling water actually increased the concentration of […]
