Bottled water has become one of the largest industries in the world. Over half of all Americans drink bottled water, spending 240-10,000 times more per gallon for bottled water than they do for tap water, a trend largely fueled by the misconception that bottled water is safer or healthier than tap water.

Point of Entry (POE) is a term used to describe a filter system that filters water at the point it enters plumbming lines or tanks. Good examples are whole house filters and under-counter filters. Point of Use (POU), by contrast, is a water filter system that filters the water as it is being used. A […]

This question is asked many times:
Which is better, a Water Filter, Reverse Osmosis, or Distillation System?
Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water are both non-selective de-mineralizing processes. The water produced by these systems, by design, is stripped of ALL mineral content. This causes the water to be acidic and aggressive. The healthiest water is water that is […]

“Filtration” systems are designed to selectively remove contaminants and to leave in the dissolved trace minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These water-borne minerals are healthful and give water a more natural flavor. Systems that remove minerals lower the pH of water and cause it to be more aggressive. Low pH water will seek to […]

The addition of chlorine to our drinking water began in the late 1800s and by 1904 was the standard in water treatment, and for the most part remains so today. We don’t use chlorine because it’s the safest or even the most effective means of disinfection, we use it because it is the cheapest. In […]

What would you do if the water supply ran out and the only thing to drink was lake or river water? Biological filters are the answer and here are some very disturbing Facts and Figures:
Over 2.7 Billion people will face water scarcity by 2025.

Can you control what type of fertilization your neighbor uses or how much pesticide they put out to kill the bugs in the yard?  How about the man down the street changing his oil, do you really know how he disposes of it?
There may be a disposal facility and there are instructions on most House […]

Anthrax most commonly occurs in wild and domestic lower vertebrates (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes, and other herbivores), but it can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or tissue from infected animals.
