With all of this year's madness, 2020 will likely go down in history as one of the craziest years ever. To make matters worse, now city officials in Lake Jackson, Texas, have issued a disaster declaration on September 26, 2020, in response to drinking water contaminated with a brain-eating amoeba. The city is under a "do not use water order," and has requested an emergency declaration from the state.

When we think of Canada, we think of vast expanses of forests and beautiful lakes and mountain streams. We think of it as a beautiful natural setting... and it is... except when it isn't! 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. Mendoza re...

A couple of years ago, my youngest son, Stephen... well, now that he's grown up, he goes by "Steve" (which was also my father's name) joined our family-owned business. Recently, he was promoted to Sales Manager and this week he has joined The Ask The Water Doctor Blog as a writer. He has spent all of his life around the water treatment business and through osmosis has absorbed a tremendous amou...

I received this question today: Hi Mark, What is your take on Magnetic Water Softening Systems? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sustainable-water-softener#/ They claim that no salt, no backwashing is needed for life. "Fix it once and you are done".  I'm sure you must have heard of Magnetic Water Softening, and I wanted to know your take on it, since you are an expert. Personall...

Q.  [Can you compare] prices for a whole home carbon filter and water softer and the specs? We are about to buy the AquaSauna 1,000,000 gal carbon filter and their saltless softer but I want to compare it to others and their prices too. Thanks -- Deanna A.  It's impossible for me to compare our systems to Aquasana salt-free water softeners and their carbon filters for a few reasons: We d...

Q.  "After testing our well water it is showing Nitrate-N at 11.62. The County limit is 10. What type of filter would you suggest?" A.  I would recommend a reverse osmosis drinking water system, like this:  https://www.uswatersystems.com/aquapurion-plus-5-stage-reverse-osmosis-system.html  Q.  Can the Pulsar Intercepter pre-filter + Pulsar Disruptor sub-micron filter work together as ...

Q.  I have iron bacteria and my well company gave me a backwashing carbon and some other white media that goes on the bottom is that going to eliminate my problem? A.  Based upon what you have told me, I would say there are two chances:  Slim and None!  Before you do anything, do this first: https://www.uswatersystems.com/us-water-lab-water-test.html  ________________________________...

A few Months ago, Time Magazine reported that "Plastic Fibers Are Found in 83% of the World's Tap Water".  It has even been repoted in some bottled water.  Everyone is worried about what it might do to humans and animals with prolonged exposure, but no one knows the consequences yet.  So, if you believe what you can't see can't hurt you, then you can skip the rest of this blog.  However, if y...

At US Water Systems, we promote from within whenever possible.  For example, one of our best salepeople was working in the warehouse this time last year.  We gave him an opportunity and he has seized it.  Occassionally however, we need to hire people who have previous water treatment experience, which is the purpose of this post. We currently have openings in the following areas: Techni...

Every day we read about chemical spills, problems with lead in the water, the dangers of chloramine and chlorine, Chromium 6, Rocket Fuel, Pharmaceuticals and on and on...  There are lots of problems with our water in America, leaving us with the feeling that our water is under attack.  Well, it is! We have all read about the problems in Flint, Michigan and then  find out that Flint is the t...

A couple/few years ago, I bought the book "Delivering Happiness" by Tony Hsieh (pronounced Shay) who is the CEO of Zappos.  I read it in one night and realized that Tony had condensed the essence of how we were trying to do business.  Now, I have to say that selling shoes is a little different from selling water treatment equipment - I mean, a pair of shoes might cost a hundred bucks or so and f...
