The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently released information stating that, no matter where we live in the United States, there is likely to be some toxic substance in our groundwater. Indeed, the agency estimates that one in
five Americans, supplied by one-quarter of the nation’s drinking water systems, consume tap water that violates EPA safety standards under the Clean Water Act.
The most obvious solution to water pollution is a point-of-use water
purification device. The tap is the end of the road for water consumed by our families, so this is the logical, and most efficient, place to focus water treatment.
Note: RO systems have two major drawbacks.

Cool

+ add your ownI really wish there was a better way to get fluoride and other toxins out of water than RO. It wastes so much water
An interesting post - I do not filter my tap water and unless I am away from the UK I do not buy bottled water.
Thanks for the article.
Thank you for the post.
Anne, Thank You. Excellent.
Thanks for the info.
RO sounds like a life saver, but one of the substances that are highly pollute is chlorine, which you find everywhere in this world. Maybe we should forbid people to drink tap water. water damage restoration is another interesting process you should consider.
I'm excitedly waiting all the changes in technology and availability of vehicles in the near future!!!

Hi Sherry: Your apology is gladly accepted. I may have sounded a bit more upset than I really was. I hope we all learn as much about water filtratrion as we want and need to make good decisions.

Hi Lim:
Well, we are talking about RO water as that is a very good way to clean up the water that we drink here in America. Personally I use a system that incorporates 3 filters. One before and one after the RO. Tastes great and my 91 yo father likes it too, every day. My energy level is pretty good at 56.
Have a great day-y'all
Steve
