Drinking Water Violations

According to records from 2015, the EPA  said that 21 million people were served by drinking water systems that didn’t meet standards based on rule violations. The Safe Drinking Water Act regulates levels of contaminants in public water supplies. This graph tracks violations of the act over time. Spikes in violations often coincide with new, more stringent rules. As you can see by this chart, adding stricter regulations to our drinking water doesn't necessarily mean they will fix the issue right away. There seems [...]

Why Do We Measure pH?

The reason we measure pH (potential of hydrogen) is to tell how acidic or alkaline that substance is. Having the right pH levels is essential to a lot of things. For example, most alcoholic beverages have a pH under 7, or acidic, whereas most aquariums have a pH that is over 7, or alkaline.

Please note that we have nothing to gain and have never had legitimate complaints on our company or staff; but when we are posed with a demand for money or our record could be damaged, it is unacceptable and should be exposed for all to see.  Over the years, review sites have popped up on virtually every computer/mobile [...]

It is very easy to offer a Ford automobile to a customer looking for a Mercedes, telling them that Ford is exactly the same as a Mercedes. Most consumers know that is not true as they have educated themselves [...]
