PUR filter removes 99% of cysts – so what?
I was watching TV and a PUR water filter ad came on. They showed one of those shiny little faucet mount filters and made the claim: “99% of lead and cysts removed”. this is generally not a problem with city water. It is a problem when you’re out hiking in the woods. And PUR is my filter of choice when I’m camping and drinking river water. The other claim, of lead removal, could be more relevant for older homes but even that isn’t likely. I suggest you buy a drinking water filter that removes lead and the other contaminants in your water, which the PUR filter does not do.

Do Reverse Osmosis Systems Waste Water?
Does reverse osmosis waste water? People ask me this question every day. At issue is the fact that for every gallon of purified water produced by a reverse osmosis system some amount of water goes down the drain, carrying along with it the unwanted contaminants from the water source. Does a clothes washer waste water? Or does it accomplish a specific task? We humans are very subjective in our use of words. We think that water we don’t get to pee in or drink is wasted and yet when we use a reverse osmosis system we are using water to accomplish a goal just as we do when we shower or wash clothes.
Hydraulic Fracturing May Pollute Well Water: Protect Yourself
Drinking water quality contamination has been directly linked with
fracking in Pennsylvania. Methane was found in the drinking water of residents near
the Marcellus Shale basin. When hydrofracking is proposed for the area near where you live that you test your well in order to establish a baseline condition. Then, if you notice that your well changes after hydrofracking is underway you will have evidence in hand which you can use as proof that the activity has negatively affected your well water.
