New Drinking Water System - Alkaline Purified Water

December 6th, 2008 by Eric Foronjy

New product line introduced for those who are looking for a higher pH drinking water, but still want the purity of reverse osmosis.

There are many alkalizers available today on the Internet or through MLM distributors. There is clearly a trend for alkaline water. Unfortunately these alkalizers do no more for cleaning the water other than running them through a carbon filter. These are not effective for removal of Arsenic, Nitrates, Salts, pharmaceuticals, hormones … dissolved solids.

With the Alka-Pure system, the water is first purified and then alkalized to reach a pH of over 8.0.

Man-made chemicals remain in public water supplies

December 5th, 2008 by Eric Foronjy

Low levels of certain man-made chemicals remain in public water supplies after being treated in selected community water facilities.  

Water from nine selected rivers, used as a source for public water systems, was analyzed in a study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

“Most of the man-made chemicals assessed in the USGS study are unregulated in drinking water and not required to be monitored or removed,” says Tom Jacobus, General Manager of the Washington Aqueduct. “These findings are not surprising and they will be important in helping regulators and assisting water utility managers arrive at decisions about future water treatment processes.”

Scientists tested water samples for about 260 commonly used chemicals, including pesticides, solvents, gasoline hydrocarbons, personal care and household-use products, disinfection by-products, and manufacturing additives. This study did not look at pharmaceuticals or hormones.

Low levels of about 130 of the man-made chemicals were detected in streams and rivers before treatment at the public water facilities (source water). Nearly two-thirds of those chemicals were also detected after treatment. Most of the chemicals found were at levels equivalent to one thimble of water in an Olympic-sized pool.

“Low level detection does not necessarily indicate a concern to human health, but rather indicates what types of chemicals we can expect to find in different areas of the country,” said USGS lead scientist, Gregory Delzer. “Recent scientific advances have given USGS scientists the analytical tools to detect a variety of contaminants in the environment at low concentrations; often 100 to 1,000 times lower than drinking-water standards and other human-health benchmarks.”

Testing sites include the White River in Indiana; Elm Fork Trinity River in Texas; Potomac River in Maryland; Neuse River in North Carolina; Chattahoochee River in Georgia; Running Gutter Brook in Massachusetts; Clackamas River in Oregon; Truckee River in Nevada; and Cache La Poudre in Colorado. The populations in communities served by these water treatment plants vary from 3,000 to over a million.

This study is among the first by the USGS to report on a wide range of chemicals found before and after treatment. The full source-water quality assessment and listing of chemicals are available online.
