Hello 

I have just uploaded my latest interview.

The Most Effective Water Purification Available for Home Use.

We all need clean water. We all depend on our sources for water to be pure, clean and uncontaminated. But how do we know? This is a big concern worldwide. We assume our city water supplies are safe, but look at Flint, Michigan. We assume well water is safer but that also is not always true. We assume that bottled water is a good alternative but consider the millions of plastic pollution caused by discarded plastic. Even bottled water is not always a reliable source. Water can be legally pure and still contain harmful contaminants.

In this interview with Alfie Lipshultz, we will discuss some of the many challenges with our water supply. We also discuss the best ways to assure your home has pure water. Alfie has been in the pure water business for 40 years as the co-founder (along with his late father) of Aquathin Water Purification Systems. Aquathin Systems are used around the world. They are used in home settings and all the way up to large scale applications. I suggest that you explore the Aquathin website. Start with the certifications and awards on the home page and go from there.

Legally Safe Standards?

“The Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates 91 contaminants. If tap water contains less than the maximum contaminant levels (MCL) of acceptance of each of these contaminants, your water is legally safe. The US EPA is looking at 10,000 other contaminants not regulated but known to be in tap water and they are considering the regulation of 104 more. Hence your water is not totally safe by those standards, otherwise they would not be looking to regulate more contaminants.

The CWA initially only regulated 22 contaminants in 1974, many of which have had their MCLs further reduced over time because of continuous laboratory and governmental research. Many of the remaining 91 contaminants that have been identified have maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) relative to the lower concentration limits to be achieved in the future.
There is no such thing as safe, safer, safest water. Common sense says then that the water we were told 20 and 30 years ago was ‘legally safe’ to drink is not considered such by today’s standards or likely future standards.

Testing Your Water

Testing is the best way to know what's in your water. To get your water tested, Alfie recommends National Testing Labs. Their tests can identify what is in your water. Then you can move forward with knowledge.
