PFOA and PFOS are a group of thousands of synthetic fluorinated organic chemicals. PFOA and PFOS are part of a la...February 8, 2020 -

The Best Way to Test Your Water
A good detailed water analysis is vitally important, especially if you are on well water. A thorough water analysis is like a blood test or x-ray for your water and is the ONLY way that you can really know what is in your water so that you can properly treat it.

Who Are You Really Buying Water Treatment Products From?
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...July 2, 2019 -

Still the Absolute Best Method to Remove Iron and Sulfur
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.

Made in China is Not How We Got Our Name
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.
