TREMENDOUS DEMAND FOR PURE WATER!


 I would like to share information from my research on our Nation's
drinking water and the three industries that make that water available to
the consumer.(City Water, Point of Use Filters and Bottled Water)
As the Congress is considering lowering the Drinking Water Standards in an
effort to help the municipalities 'meet' the Federal and State
requirements and as the public is becoming increasingly concerned with
their drinking water supply, consumers are looking for alternatives to
meet their needs.

 There is however a "Sea of Confusion" regarding the "best" alternatives
and how to determine what is the best.  Some states like California, have
passed laws requiring any company claims to be certified by the State's
Health Department.  In addition there are independent testing facilities
such as NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) whose strict requirements for
certification provide the consumer with an excellent guideline.  It should
be noted that bottled water as yet is an unregulated industry for the most
part.  I recommend you call any company you might be interested in and ask
them if they have been certified by the state or by NSF to remove health
contaminants.  Finally there are a variety of Point of Use filters
available to the consumer that can be installed at the faucet.  Again I
would recommend you call the company and make sure they have certification
as well as lab results listing the contaminants removed.  Generally the
price of one of these units pays for itself in the first year when you
compare the cost to the same amount of bottled water.

I have prepared a detailed report outlining the problem and solutions..If
you are interested in a copy please let me know.

Please indicate the application file type you require to read a "text"
file. ie: mac/pc, ms word, clarisworks, word perfect, etc.

Thank You.
