[I recieved this testimonal today, via e-mail] - Eric Foronjy
I enjoyed the best glass of water last night - and just had another this morning to prove that it was not a dream!
I emptied the tank once more; turned on the ice cube maker then and checked under the sink for leakage (just did that again). All seems to be in order.
I am sure you are well aware of Greg’s competence and manner as an installer. However, I will add another good word for him here as what with the stress that exudes from me these days - he surely was a pleasure and a calming influence in the house.
Bottled water isn’t necessarily any purer than the water you get from your tap — it’s just more expensive.
The Environmental Working Group tested 10 major bottled-water brands. Thirty-eight low-level contaminants turned up in the water, with each brand containing an average of eight chemicals. Disinfection products, caffeine, Tylenol, nitrate, industrial chemicals, arsenic and bacteria were all detected.
Two brands contained disinfection byproducts at levels that exceeded California’s bottled-water standards, and bottles of Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Choice bought in the Bay Area contained trihalomethanes, which have been linked to cancer and miscarriages.
In fact, the Wal-Mart water and a brand sold on the East Coast by the Giant supermarket chain were “chemically indistinguishable from tap water.”
The only way to have pure tap water is with a water purifier. Under sink reverse osmosis systems purify water 96-98%. The only draw back is they use water.
For a reverse osmosis system that uses up to 300% less water check out the Hague H3500 Reverse Osmosis. It also produces 35% better pressure. Great for Ice Makers, low water pressure and multiple spiggot installations.
Many private well owners in Los Osos are drawing from a supply with relatively low hardness, low tds and low pH. Typically this water also is higher in Nitrates.
The symptoms could include blue - green staining in sinks or toilets, pin hole leaks in the plumbing.
The only way to be sure of your water quality is to test it.
