Rain Affects Total Dissolved Solids

Here in Southern California, we have had an unprecedented amount of rainfall these first couple months of the new year. In many parts throughout Southern California, it was record breaking rainfall. Due to the amount of rain that we have been experiencing, our tap water becomes affected as well. The reason that this happens is because of the rain going in through the ground and into our water supply. The amount of rain water affects the TDS (Total Dissolved [...]

Nitrates Found in Drinking Water

There has been a release of a new report from the Environmental Working Group that has shown a widespread contamination of nitrate pollution in the drinking water of the United States.In a report released Oct. 2, 2018, the Environmental Working Group analyzed tests of public water systems and found that 1,700 communities across the United States regularly have nitrate levels that the National Cancer Institute says can increase the risk of cancer. Two-thirds of those systems, serving more than [...]

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. A well-maintained pH is essential to many things we do and use on a daily basis. The reading is taken based off of the ion activity [...]

A Review or Not A Review…. that is the question?

(REVIEW SITES EXPOSED)    This article is purely advice and a result of frustration from the few poorly run and respected companies in the field. 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 [...]

Elon Musk Keeps His Promise to Flint

At the beginning of the month, Elon Musk announced that he and his foundation would be donating $480,350 to Flint Community Schools. This money will go to all the schools in the district to supply new water filtration systems on each campus. The systems will decontaminate the water from bacteria and lead that has been prominent in the Flint water. Flint mayor Karen Weaver said that she and Elon discussed many of the problems that Flint still faced including that [...]

Las Vegas

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that has been affected by this terrible tragedy in Las Vegas today. 

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE FROM ONE WATER TO THE OTHERS?

It is a great compliment from other ‘water’ filtration companies to tell prospective buyers the they can make the same system as ours. It is equally annoying to be told by our future or past shoppers to believe that to be true. 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 [...]
