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.

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...

Let's cut right to the chase. If you have read any of my past articles during the nearly 20 years I have written this blog, you might know one thing: I am not a big fan of chlorine. There are a few reasons: It is hard to keep the correct concentration of chlorine as it degrades rapidly;The "point-of-injection" can crystallize and necessitate cleaning the injection fitting (not hard, but it ...

That's a fair question because if you go to most websites you cannot really discover who you are dealing with.  I mean, when you buy from Amazon, you know that they are this behemoth and Jeff Bezos is the CEO and you can read books and articles about Amazon and Jeff to understand who you are dealing with... in case you are from another planet.  But when you buy a water softener or reverse osmosi...

To many families the joy of home ownership is sometimes spoiled when they find out that their "Home Sweet Home" has water that is less than desirable. For the record, that happens to be a pretty high percentage of the homes in the United States. However, no matter what the water problem(s) might be, "Point-of-Entry" water treatment is simply the best solution, whatever the problem(s) might be. ...

This is an update of a blog posted in 2017. For over 25 years, I have been involved in pioneering the technology of using hydrogen peroxide for the eradication of iron and sulfur and for the record, I still believe it is the best technology for doing that.  There are many people who still use chlorination for this purpose.  Chlorination is simply the process of adding chlorine to water. T...

The Water Quality Association ("WQA") is seeking tariff exemptions for Chinese water treatment products that American Water Treatment Dealers are selling.  I guess that is all well and good, but as the tariffs apply to US Water Systems, all I can tell you is that our name is US Water Systems, not China Water Systems, and we have been phasing out Chinese products for years.  So, while most other...

For over 15 years we have provided all type of filtration and water treatment systems to RV's whether it be small pop-up camper or a large million dollar luxury coach... and everything in between. Actually, I installed my first RV filter system almost 40 years ago in an old Airstream.... but I digress. If you are a seasoned RV'er (is that even a word?), you likely know that water quality is not...

Question:  Hi read through the info you have about RO systems and how they strip the minerals. You don’t talk about putting them back and only state you really don't have to anyway. OK, but the water tastes bad, tea tastes bad. So what am I to do learn to live with the taste or is there something that will actually add some safe amount and type of minerals back to adjust the taste? Thank...

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...
