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. RDrexler@aol.com
