In our years of experience, we have learned many things the hard way.  To borrow a saying: “We know a thing or two, because we have seen a thing or two.” We have built and installed thousands of whole house reverse osmosis systems, and over the years, we made a lot of mistakes… which we learned the hard way. We still see consumers making the same mistakes we did ten or twenty years ago, so we thought we would share our experience to save you from making mistakes that you may not know about.  In the long run, doing it the right way will save

I am not aware of the term “forever chemicals” being used until recently, when it has been used to describe Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFAS) including Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid found in water supplies. PFOA and PFOS are a group of thousands of synthetic fluorinated organic chemicals. PFOA and PFOS are part of a la...

It was recently reported by AP Writer Martha Mendoza, that there are high concentrations of lead in the water. In fact, in some areas, the lead level is consistently higher than in Flint, Michigan.

If you happen to believe that, you probably better stop reading this right about now.  Many Americans don't even think twice about drinking a glass of water. However, a report recently released by the Environmental Working Group found more than 270 harmful contaminants in local drinking water across the nation. These substances are linked to cancer, damage to the brain and nervous system, h...

Whenever a natural disaster strikes, it's human nature that we want to help, whether it be an earthquake, fire, tornado or hurricane. So, as in the case of the devastating Hurricane Dorian that recently decimated the Bahamas, many non-profits, churches, and NGO's are quick to help and one of the first things they do is send about a hundred trillion plastic bottles of water to the people who need ...

According to the American Water Works Association there are approximately 240,000 water main brea...
