Pure Elements – Whole House Water Filters

Something we were not aware of was the stringent Gerson Therapy water quality requirements.  In this short video clip from a longer interview, Peggy, our client, discusses her experience with using the Gerson Therapy to battle her cancer and how the clinic feels about water quality.  She went to the actual clinic at a private hospital in Mexico to learn how to apply the therapy at home.

The Gerson Therapy is a natural therapy invented by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920’s.  While most water in ingested through daily juicing it has become apparent that the body must have clean bath and shower water to promote and maintain health of all people.

You can learn more by checking out the Gerson Therapy website.  http://www.gerson.org

The Gerson Institute guidelines include strict requirements on water quality.  We believe Pure Elements can meet and exceed these requirements.  Our technology is so new that it takes years to test and we are undergoing scientific verification of purity requirements from referrals given to Pure Elements by the Gerson Institute.

The Gerson Institute stresses clean water and sends a signal to anyone and everyone concerned with the preservation of health.  The government simply cannot, for what ever reason, keep up with the contaminants entering our water.  So as we take example from the Gerson Institute cancer patients can not take chances with anything that could hinder their healing and recovery.  They need these contaminants removed in order to reduce physical and emotional stress.

Peggy’s husband did diligent work researching whole house water systems in Orange County, California and got in touch with Pure Elements.  The family decided to go with our custom HealthyHome Solution Total Property system with additional fluoride removal.

A month after the system was installed independent laboratory tests confirmed that most of the fluoride was removed.  See fluoride removal test results here.   Further testing showed zero chlorine and chloramines present in home water.

These kinds of test results are why Pure Elements works with many cancer patients.  We can clean their water of toxins effectively so they can live with peace of mind and regain some quality of life while they work on healing.

As Peggy states in the video above, the cancer patients at the Gerson Clinic were all stressed over what to do about getting quality water once they got back to their homes.  It was the number one topic at dinnertime for patients at the clinic.  Once Peggy shared her test results with the other people at the clinic, many were  surprised with the results.  Many people thought  it was not possible to get such high quality clean water from a whole home water filter system.  The Gerson therapy feeling was only distillers could deliver the required water quality but the system we put in for Peggy and her family worked well for them.  Peggy herself felt she has peace of mind again and is able to bathe and drink high quality water comfortably.

If you are interested in a water filter system that successfully takes care of the Gerson Therapy water quality requirements, contact us immediately.

The quality of your water affects – skin – hair – ice cubes and peace of mind.  And it could be affecting your health in ways you do not know.

Our client Peggy, who is on a journey fighting cancer, talks here about some of the little things she likes best about the Pure Elements’ HealthyHome Solution water filter.

When asked what she likes best about her whole house water conditioning and filtration system, Peggy comments about the peace of mind it brings to her and her whole family.  The very thought that they all are now bathing in and drinking good high quality water is a comfort.  She likes the assurance and knowledge that so much of the dangerous contaminants have been removed or reduced to insignificant levels.

The whole family has noticed how their skin feels better.  It does not feel dried out or itchy.  The family has noticed that their hair feels softer.  Those chemicals that dry out the skin and hair are not present in the water any longer.

Even little things like the ice cubes in the refrigerator are crystal clear now.  Most people in Orange County, San Diego, and Los Angeles, California have experienced those white foggy looking ice cubes.  We went to a party in Long Beach recently and saw these ice cubes being served.  That is the result of impurities and contaminants in the water.  The Pure Elements HealthyHome Solution water filter removes those issues from your drinking water.  Now people in New York, Boston, Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Florida and all over the United States are experiencing clean water from Pure Elements water filters.

The high quality and scientifically selected filter media are filtering out all that nasty stuff.  In addition, much the filtering effectiveness is the result of how the media is presented to the water.  It must be in a specific order to work at full capacity.  This is why we get better results than many of our competitors.  They cannot be bothered to put the media in correctly because they figure the customers do not know anyway.  Plus, they plan to charge the customers yearly maintenance.  If they were to set the water filtering systems up correctly in the first place, the customers would not need to incur such maintenance and its cost.

If you would like your skin and hair to feel better, call us and ask us about it.  If you would like peace of mind knowing the contaminants in your tap water are not going to harm your family, email us for more information.  If you want nice clear ice cubes like those that you buy at the market, you should contact us today.

Pure Elements offers clean clear water and peace of mind for pennies a day.

At Pure Elements several common questions we have received refer to dish film and white dirty looking ice cubes.  The solutions are always involving water quality.

Many people spend a lot of money for their dishwashers.  People figure that if they spend money on a dishwasher it should deliver very clean dishes.  However, that is only part of the equation.  No matter how expensive a dishwasher is if the quality of the water coming into it is bad, the dishes will not be cleaned correctly.

As Peggy discovered in the video above, the appliance maintenance people do tell the truth about bad water.  This is more often the issue and not the appliance.  You have to put high quality water into the dishwasher in order for it to perform correctly.  They cannot do what they are supposed to do without good clean water.

The Pure Elements water filter and conditioning systems deliver the sparkling clear water your high-end dishwasher needs in order to give you the performance you paid to get.  You will not need to add chemicals to the water and that hard water scum will no longer be an issue.

Moreover, you will have one more health benefit to add to the list of health benefits Pure Elements water filtration delivers.  After installing a HealthyHome Solution water conditioning and filtration system, you will no longer eat off plates that are covered with contaminant residue.  You will not serve your family glasses with leftover chemical film on them.  Would you like that?

In addition, if you have a refrigerator that produces those milky white ice cubes, you can rest assured that it is not your refrigerator’s fault.  It is the water quality you are putting in the ice cube trays that is making them so disturbing looking.  If you use a water filter we make, you will not be experiencing those ice cubes anymore.  Your refrigerator will be working at top performance and produce nice clean clear cubes for you and your family’s health benefits.

For residue free dishes that come amazingly clean and crystal clear water in your ice cubes, contact us today.

If you live in an apartment or you rent, our HealthyHome water systems are more than likely not going to work for you.  They are custom designed for homeowners because they connect to the water main.   While you might have a good relationship with your property owner, for the most part they are not going to want to invest in high quality water filtration for rental units.  However, we would still like to head you in the right direction if you would like to experience at least some level of water filtration.

If you rent but still want safe and clean water, we suggest you get an Aquasana AQ-4100 shower filter for your shower.  Bathing in chlorine is bad and you do not want to do that.  When steam is produced, the pores of your skin open and chlorine can enter your skin in larger amounts then just drinking chlorinated water.  These little shower water filters offer some protection against chlorine and other contaminants.  They are better than nothing.  The Aquasana shower filter offers good media exposure to shower water and can easily go with you when you move.  They are easy to screw on and off when you need to change the filter cartridge.  You can use a different shower head than the one that comes in the box.  (The picture below shows a different shower head.)  As long as there is only one or two you using the shower, you need to replace the filter cartridges every 6 months or the filters are ineffective.  If more people are using the water, the filter will need to be replaced more often.  We suggest you mark on your calendar 6 months from the date you install the new filter.  This is a good way to keep track of when to change the cartridge.

(The one in the picture is using a different showerhead than the one that comes with the Aquasana AQ-4100.)

In addition, for renters that want a good drinking water system, we like the Multi-Pure drinking water filters.  These filters are a bit more expensive but they are durable and more effective than most of the drinking water filters available for people on a budget.  Most of the less expensive filters have plastic casings that crack very easily.  There are many reviews on Amazon complaining about the cracking or shoddy material some water filters are made of.  In addition, the cheaper filters just do not offer the removal or reduction range of chemicals and contaminants the Multi-Pure filters can remove/reduce.  So depending on your chemical removal concerns, you can customize this little filters to some extent.

These Multi-Pure drinking water filters have a large solid carbon block filter inside stainless steel housings.  The housings seal tightly with no leaks.  They will filter about 600 – 750+ gallons depending on the model.  Alternatively, you can figure they roughly last about a year.  You can get counter top or under-the-counter models too and if you want extra contaminants removed, you can find some models that cater to that.  The model we have experience with is the MCPT counter top filter like the one seen in the picture above.

We thought this article (see link below) was interesting and a foreshadowing of more bans to come.  Santa Clara Valley California banned water softeners in 2008 because the chloride being discharged into the watershed was damaging the environment.  The chloride was traced back to the water softeners and the people of the county voted to ban the softeners.  The County has been encouraging people to find alternatives and to pick up rebates.

However, according to the article it looks like not everyone is complying with the law.  Now violators are facing a stiff $1,000 fine if they are caught with the illegal water softeners.  There might be about 2,000 violators risking the hefty fine in these already uncertain economic times.  We are not sure if the inspectors can legally inspect people’s homes for banned softeners systems.  Yet is it worth the trouble to hide from the inspectors?  Seems like a lot of drama just for salty water to us.

Being a company that is not in favor of water softeners unless they are absolutely needed because of specific skin conditions, we feel people do need to take notice of what Santa Clara Valley is doing.  There is an excellent chance this will spread to other counties in California as well as in other states.  It may take 5 to 10 years but it has some momentum.  Environmentally aware folk want to help preserve our wetlands and watershed to ensure the quality of life for their children.  Young people that are embracing new “green” technology will not be wasting money on outdated technology sold by selfish corporations.

This is why we offer saltless water conditioning systems.  These are environmentally friendly that need much less maintenance.  Often, maintenance may not be needed for just less than 10 years.  That exact maintenance period is dependent on how much water your family uses over the years.

We are proud to say that our HealthyHome Solution water filtering system will never become illegal.  It does not have internal ingredients that are not “green” in design.

Moreover, we want to clear up some confusing talk about water softeners and water conditioners.  We need to state that our conditioners do not “soften” water.  They are not water softeners because the only way to soften water is by using bags of salt.  Our whole house water system uses a newer technology where you get the benefits of “soft water” without the detriments.  We believe our conditioners work better than softeners on a number of levels.  If you want the scientific run down on how the conditioners work, call or email us.  We will be happy to run you through the scientific process because it is quite interesting.

We would also like to note that while we do not sell water softeners… most our competitors sure do.  You need to be aware of that.  In fact, some will sell you anything they think they can.  They will sell you a water softener because it is an easy sell if they think they cannot get you to buy a whole house water filter.  Softeners are simple to sell because a customer can feel the physical difference in the water.  Softeners give tap water that “slimy” feel so people in their minds think there is a big difference in the water.  Well there is… It is now loaded with salt!  Therefore, be aware and get educated on what you want out of a water filter.  (By the way, water softeners are not water filters.  They can be put in line with a water filter but softeners only function to soften water, nothing else.)

Our mission is to educate people about the water they drink and bathe in.  Not everything is as rosy as some would have you believe.  That concerns us and we think it should concern you.  If you want to embrace those concepts and learn more about how we can help you achieve the benefits of crystal clear water, talk to us.

Hunt for illegal water devices…

Is the idea that tap water and cancer are increasingly becoming related?  It appears they are.  Drinking water expert is Dr. Thomas Burke begins this video discussing the process where the slag from mills is thrown out and, which gets used for fill.  Chromium 6 is in the slag.  The stuff sits there and people walk on it or even skate on it.  The companies did not know how dangerous it is and of course neither did the public.  To make matters worse the chromium 6 is soluble and when it rains, it enters the water table.  That is why it if found in our drinking and bathing water.

Dr. Oz raises the question as to why it takes so long to fix this problem.  It is an obvious pollutant so he wonders what the holdup is to fixing the situation.  Dr. Burke explains that even though a lot is known about it, it is a tough regulatory argument.  As with everything nowadays it seems to come down to cost.  We are talking about cleaning up a billion pounds of slag spread all over an entire state.  The argument starts to waver because of that cost.  People wonder if it is harmful enough to spend the millions of dollars needed to clean it up.

However, Dr. Burke is optimistic because with the new information becoming known.  That information has shown the link between water and cancer.  Water contaminated by chromium 6 is related to intestinal cancer.  Now things seem to be moving ahead aggressively.

More water and cancer talk continues.

Dr. Oz proceeds to go through the findings of water test participant Mendy of Norman, Oklahoma.  Her tap water contained 58 parts per billion of chromium 6.  That is 1,000 times higher than the goal limit that is being proposed as the legal limit on chromium 6 in California.  We think she desperately needs a whole house water filter like our HealthyHome Solution with the  added fluoride removal system.  This system will remove or reduce fluoride, arsenic and chromium 6 thereby reducing the relation between water and cancer.  Dr. Oz asks Mendy how she feels about the chromium 6 level in her water and she is alarmed.  She says she is switching to bottled water but Dr. Oz heads her off to note that he will be talking about bottled water and its problems too.  “I’m not sure that’s the solution,” he says.

Dr. Oz also goes on to say this contaminant and some metals could be naturally occurring in the Oklahoma water.  The local water utility said the drinking water was still okay.  We are not so sure we would believe that.  Whether it is naturally occurring or not does not matter if the stuff is dangerous.  We would prefer not to risk it and to have it out of the water altogether.  We do not want to find out later it was poisoning us.  There is no worse feeling than believing one thing to find out later your source was wrong.  And especially to find they were wrong at the expense of your health.

Dr. Oz then asks Dr. Meinhardt to comment and she informs Mendy that her community leaders in Oklahoma are on top of the situation.  These leaders have a chromium 6 working group and they are talking to technical advisors.  They are actively taking the situation seriously and dealing with it as it evolves.  That is good news for Mendy and her community.  These civic leaders are in charge of protecting the public health along with the utility people.  Therefore, for now, things are moving but the story is evolving in that community.  Again, in our minds, why wait till the politicians figure it out?  We say remove the offending contaminants with a high quality water filter today.

Dr. Oz talks further about some of the other toxins that were tested for in the water samples from all over the country.  Heavy metals like lead and arsenic were next in testing.  Arsenic occurs naturally but is also found in paints, dyes, fertilizers, metals, and animal feed.  Arsenic is harmful to your skin but can also cause bladder and liver cancer.  It can also lead to partial paralysis and nerve damage.

The connection between lead, water and cancer is explored.

Dr. Burke comments that lead, which has been used in plumbing historically, can under the right conditions become mobilized.  Lead poisoning is a very real danger.  Arsenic is different because it can be a naturally occurring substance.  It is part of the earth’s crust and often found in wells in the Western United States.  Arsenic is a known carcinogen and people are working to reduce it as well as find new sources of water.  Both lead and arsenic are metals we need to be more concerned about and getting out of our water.

Next in the video, Dr. Oz talks with Ann from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  She too was one of the water test volunteers.  She had .003 points per billion of lead in her tap water.  The EPA goal is zero.  Her water is deemed safe but the EPA still wants the number to be zero.  This small amount may not re-enforce the link between water and cancer.  But even small amounts can cause worry.

Dr. Oz goes on to clarify the difference between “good enough” and “Ideal.”  He notes they are not the same thing.  You may know where you want to go but you may have to tolerate some things because they are naturally occurring.  Nevertheless, you have to see the difference in what you know is present in the water and what you are comfortable letting your kids drink.  For example, long-term exposure to lead will not be obvious in what conditions it might cause you.  It is a subtle thing.  Maybe just a little memory issues might be the first signs or damage from lead.  Maybe your blood pressure goes up a little bit over the years.  Dr. Oz relates these instances to the questions he often gets from people.  Patients may feel they are not as sharp as they once were or little things like that.  Dr. Oz starts to wonder if those conditions are caused by the long-term exposure to the contaminants like lead in our water supply.  One would have to figure it could be a factor because of our exposure to the water every day.  And we know what the contaminants can cause on their own.

The Pure Elements HealthyHome Solution water filter with an added Fluoride removal system will remove or reduce chlorine, fluoride, chromium 6 and arsenic.  Contact us for more information and break the relation between water and cancer.

Home remodeling and construction is trending up – Owner’s Representative Shelia Kuhn is helping homeowners integrate Pure Elements’ Whole House Water Filter and Salt Free Conditioning Systems for a healthier home living environment.

The current economic environment has led more people to stay in their homes for the long term, and more remodeling or complete rebuild projects are getting underway.   Because it is an important time during construction for the design and installation of a whole house water filter system, Pure Elements, Inc., has seen an increased demand for its proprietary environmentally sound systems.

The remodeling processes is a challenge from agreeing on a final design, picking a contractor, demolition, and especially seeing the construction process through to successful completion.  The installation of Pure Elements’ HealthyHome Solution system requires planning and coordination with at least three other trades to insure a flawless installation.

Recently, Pure Elements’ owner Rick Allen was excited to find a company providing a personalized service that eliminates the hassle of a remodel (or a ground-up) project for the discerning client.  Shelia Kuhn, of D & S Kuhn, Inc. in Newport Beach, California, has made the dream of a stellar result a reality for many southern California owners.  And she has helped specialty trades like Pure Elements, Inc. enjoy a smooth, coordinated construction process.

Shelia is carved out a specialty niche as today’s leading Owner’s Representative.  She and her team help people who are challenged with with a busy lifestyle, work long hours, don’t live near their project, or have limited construction experience.  Therefore, the expense, time and challenge of managing the project can initially appear daunting and may seem too difficult to attempt.  With the use of an Owner’s Representative like Shelia, a daunting undertaking is transformed into an efficient, organized and fun experience.

Rick and Shelia have worked together on several high-end remodels and ground-up construction projects.  Several of these projects in Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Hermosa Beach are enjoying the finest water quality for bathing, cooking, drinking and ice, as well as salt-free water conditioning to address hard water issues.

Pure Elements, Inc, and D & S Kuhn, Inc. provide the perfect marriage of talents and proprietary products/services that benefit clients with a healthier home living environment.  Rick Allen has become the favored referral for healthcare experts, from general practitioners of Eastern and/or Western medicine, to longevity experts, and even for clinics focused on the treatment of cancer and serious diseases.  Shelia is also an expert in preventative health, so she understands the importance of chemical-free water, both for throughout the home and as part of a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, the ability to deal with hard water issues with Pure Elements’ proprietary saltless water conditioner eliminates the long list of problems associated with outdated salt-based water softeners.  This technology also makes total property water treatment possible, benefiting pools, spas, water features and landscaping.

With remodeling and rebuilding on the rise, owners are definitely in need of leading companies and innovative thinkers like Rick Allen and Shelia Kuhn.  Don’t undertake a project without contacting either one—you will be happy you did.

For more about Shelia’s business and the beneficial services D & S Kuhn, Inc. can provide, contact Rick Allen from Pure Elements. Inc. at (949) 644-1800 or visit Shelia’s site at www.dskuhninc.com.

This total property water filter conditioning system not only deals with regular filtration but also conditions the water.  Hard water issues are treated effectively with these environmentally friendly whole house water filters.

Built into this system are not one but TWO catalytic water conditioners, which are alternatives to traditional water softeners. They do not use or discharge salt.

There is one water conditioner put inside the tank for the whole house and the primary water conditioner on the inlet that handles not only the whole house but also the total property. This means that swimming pool, koi ponds, and their racing horses will benefit from the healthier conditioned water. Even the landscaping will benefit from the anti-scaling and percolation process this water conditioner will provide.

The catalytic water conditioners change the state of the calcium and reduce the hard water issues. They do this without the use of bags of salt or any chemicals. It is all natural. These conditioners are small physically and require virtually no maintenance. That means that unlike a water softener, which requires you to frequently dump 50 pound bags of salt into them, you can expect to do no maintenance with these but once every 10 years or so. And they don’t create the slippery or slimy feeling you get from an old fashioned salt-based water softener. With a water softener, your skin will feel like you cannot get the soap off. You waste more water and more soap because of this. You do not experience that feeling at all with the Pure Elements Healthy Home Solution water filter.

These water filters are very environmentally friendly and “Green” alternatives to water softeners. If you are ecologically minded, this type of total property water filter conditioning system is a more natural and responsible decision to choose.

Question:  What is your name?

Answer:  Richard M. and I live in Mission Viejo, California.

Question:  How did you first come up with the idea of getting a water system?

Answer:  Well, my wife and I had actually just moved to the US.  We’d only been in the country like two or three weeks.  We went to the Long Beach Home Show and we just purchased a property that we were closing in escrow about a month later.  We were looking at all kinds of things but one of the things that caught our eye was a whole house water treatment system, which we were very keen on.

Question:  And after all the research you did, what made you go with Rick Allen and Pure Elements?

Answer:  Well, you know, I saw a lot of very expensive systems at the show.  A lot of high-pressure sales tactics and I really just liked the kind of integrity and sales approach that Rick brought to the equation.  His focus was really on the quality and benefits of the water treatment systems, the technology that he was offering and the health benefits that went along with it.  And he presented the whole package in a way that made you feel very comfortable with dealing with him.

Question:  So after you met him, then what happened when you talked to Rick?

Answer:  Well, we were living in one of those extended stay hotels at the time in Orange, California.  And we called Rick and Rick came round to see us and…  We did a little bit of negotiating going on and…  Rick offered us a good price in return for cash.  So I gave Rick a check for $3500.  After I’d given it and he said, “Okay, I’m going to go away and get you this water system and when you move it your house it will all be there and ready…”  And I must admit that once or twice after I’d given him the check after only being in the country for three weeks I thought…  I said to my wife, “Have we done the right thing?”  But we bought our house.  We moved in.  Rick was there.  The installation was flawless.  And since then he’s always been there to answer any questions that we had and we are very happy with our system.  The quality of the drinking water is just fabulous.  We have a whole house treatment system.  It breaks down the calcium that naturally occurs in the drinking water in Southern California.  The quality and health benefits, we are very impressed with.

Question:  And to this day how is your relationship with Rick and how long has it been since that first time…?

Answer:  Ah, Rick and I’ve had laughs for the last nine years.  We talk to each other at least a couple times a year.  Rick has always been there for service advice or whatever.  His customer service is just exemplary.

Question:  Would you trust Rick as a referral to one of your other friends or family members?

Answer:  Oh, absolutely.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Rick’s Pure Elements services to either a friend or family member or even just a member of the public.  Rick is very knowledgeable.  Very trustworthy.  And his service is just great.

Question:  Now having good water, what has been your favorite thing between you and your wife by having this system?

Answer:  Well I just think it’s the ability to go to the tap on your sink and drink pure water.  No contaminants.  No chlorine taste or smell.  In fact, when you go into a restaurant and often an expensive restaurant, and they serve you up a chlorinated water, it is just awful.  I mean you just don’t want to drink it.  So, we live in a very harsh water environment, and coming from New Zealand, we are used to pure water without even having to put a whole house treatment system in place.  But in Southern California we have a very harsh water environment.  And I think that if you care about your family and your health and the quality of the water you drink, everyone should have a whole house water treatment system and a reverse osmosis under their sink for personal drinking water.  And I think the environmental benefits I’d have to say are much better than buying bottled water and plastic bottles, which all end up in the land fill systems or most of them do.  You know, I think you are doing yourself a favor and the environment as well.

Question:  After 9 years have you had any issues or problems with your system?

Answer:  No his systems work flawlessly.  And whenever we’ve had a service issue or a question we call Rick and he is there.  So no problems.

Question:  Well, thank you very much for answering these questions.  And I’m glad we could help another satisfied customer.
Answer:  Thank you very much.  It’s been terrific.

This video shows a custom installation water filtration and conditioning system. The main lines coming into the property are 1 ½-inch copper pipe. Upon entering the property the first thing the water sees if the first catalytic conditioner. This reduces the amount of water required for landscape. (It allows the water effectively to percolate, therefore hydrating the plants better. It also keeps the root balls of the plant life free of scale, which usually occurs in hard water situations and inhibits the ability to use the nutrients in the soil. Also reduces requirement for fertilizer, saves water and fertilizer volume by up to 40% and can reduce pumping costs on a golf course by upi to 27 %.)

It benefits irrigation and it benefits koi ponds and fountains. It does this without the use of salt or chemicals. (Koi ponds benefit the same as a pool or spa does. There is less staining at the water line and on fountain spillways and overall water features. Moreover, helps protect the heaters, pumps, filters, and plumbing from hard water issues.)

The network of plumbing done by our installers is very high quality and not achieved by our competitors. This attention to detail is not seen in Southern California by other whole house water filter companies. We know because a large portion of our business is rebuilding the systems they put in.

The water in this system moves from the conditioner and then into fluoride water filters and whole house filtration. This addresses the water in the house for the family and that clean water is delivered at every faucet, tub and shower head. In addition, the water for the horses in the stable is filtered too. This healthier water is not only better for them to drink but it gives them shinier coats. So that is what this system accomplishes.

Moreover, this particular system was buried four-feet in the ground in the backyard and camouflaged to blend nicely into the landscaping. This was done because this was the best place physically to place this seven-foot tall water filter tanks.

This type of system is an environmentally conscious alternative to water softeners, which are known to pollute the environment with discharged salt. That is why water softeners will probably be eventually banned in California even though many of our competitors will not agree with us on this statement. The ban must happen because the damage water softeners are causing is too great to be overlooked for much longer.  This custom installation water filtration system utilizes the newest water treating technology.
