Filtration Technologies for Homeowners

 

 

 

We are the only service we know of that, in addition to consulting for professionals in the industry, is designed specifically to help the public, individuals and families, who have no idea about water chemistry, microbiology, parasites, testing, or purification, through the process of identifying problems if they exist, interpreting and understanding their laboratory results, and finding the proper solutions to correct those problems. And that's all! We are not trying to sell you anything else, and we therefore have no inherent conflict of interest. We WILL tell you if your water is good and DOES NOT need any treatment!!!

P.S. with a rush order you can have your results of EPA approved tests back within 36 hours for specific individual tests. Ex. Lead, Arsenic, Nitrate, Coliforms, E. coli, Hardness, Sodium  etc.

CONSUMERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT FREE WATER TESTS and the Quickie water tests found in Home Improvement Stores  CANNOT and DO NOT DETECT MOST OF THE TOXIC SUBSTANCES AND DISEASE CAUSING ORGANISMS THAT MAY HARM THEM!!! OUR ANALYSES DO!!!

 

How important is testing your water these days? Important enough that.............

  • Adoption agencies require water testing before they will approve adoptions.

  • The FHA and other lenders require water tests (by law) before allowing the sale of a home. This is done to protect the buyer and is currently considered inadequate by many.

  • The EPA recommends testing your well water at least once a year. This is done to protect the consumer. (The EPA recently added the test for Total Dissolved Solids to its recommended annual tests of drinking water)

And, by the way:

  • Free Water Tests are a Fraud: Every company that does water tests is trying to sell you something else - EXCEPT US!!! Did your neighbors get one of those expensive water treatment / softening systems because someone who sells those systems tested their water for free and told them they need it? Be smart - have us test your water, get an unbiased, independent opinion and find out what you really need - we have saved people thousands of dollars because they were willing to spend a few for professional tests and advice!

  • We believe our most important asset is accurate information gained by years of education, research, and experience.  Check out our sources of information. If you rely on us, you will know you are "doing it right". If you rely on the clerk at the home improvement store and quickie water tests for your information you will get exactly what you paid for....

If you want someone to make sure your water is healthy and safe to drink and who can take care of it all for you... just contact us.

Already had your water tested? That's OK. Email or Fax us your results and we will call or email you to provide you with

Analysis of lab results, explanation of lab results, recommendations for treatment, assistance in designing a system specific to your needs

Only $45.00 to have a water treatment professional advise you on which tests to ask for,  or

to analyze your lab results, explain to you what they mean

AND to have an unbiased professional, in the water treatment business, help you design your system.

then you can go to Home Depot, Ace Hardware, WalMart, Lowes or your plumber and tell them what you need instead of depending on them to tell you what they want to sell you.

You will be able to say to the softening filter salesman "I do not need a softening system (save $500 - $1200.00 or more), but I would like a sediment filter with a 0.45 micron nominal pore size and a charcoal filter". Or "I would like a 3-stage reverse osmosis system (and give them specifics), or an Ultraviolet filter or a distillation apparatus, so you don't have to waste money on bottled water anymore".

Don't let a sales rep rush you. Ask for a copy of their lab / test results, send / fax or phone them in to us, and get an immediate independent analysis from us before making a decision.

Don't Get Ripped Off!!!

send, or call us with your test results and we will tell you what you need

This is the most compelling reason why you should use our services as opposed to anyone else. WE are the first to turn this industry on its head. We charge you to tell you the right tests to do and how to fix any problems. We do NOT lure you with the promise of something for nothing, then tell you the results of our testing say you should buy something we sell (such as an expensive treatment system or softening system). Our approach completely removes the motivation to abuse a client's trust. You pay us to tell you what to test for, what it means, and what to do about it. We won't even try to sell you the testing!!! (We would prefer you use our services to test but we do NOT require that. We only ask that you provide us with all the information we need to make a good recommendation). Sometimes that means you will have to get more testing done - but you can have it done wherever you like, and we will tell you exactly what tests you need. We will do all this for just $45.00 no matter where you live.  Fax or email us your results. We get paid for our expertise, knowledge and experience, and you get accurate trustable information and can buy your testing and water treatment equipment at the lowest prices and at a vendor of your choice. A salesman's job is to sell you a product, our job is to sell you accurate information - so you can make the right decision!!!

PS. IF you can get all the tests we offer for less anywhere else, we will match their price!!!

 

If you live within 20 miles of Cleveland, Georgia

If you are on a private water supply or well, the United States Government Environmental Protection Agency and your State Environmental Protection Division have recommended that you test your drinking water at least ONCE EACH YEAR!!!  Even for people with filtration systems installed. Will you ignore this advice, even if it only costs $98.00 per year, because you hear otherwise from a neighbor, uninformed local official or salesperson? Our information comes from experts with practical experience in the field, and they believe the EPA has recommended testing annually for good reasons... and our research has shown what they are. But please don't take our word for it. Learn more on this web site and the EPA's web site.

 

EPA Ground Water & Drinking Water Current Drinking Water Standards

 

PS. Most folks don't realize that their public / municipal drinking water supply is made from purified sewage that was dumped into their surface water source upstream from where they live!! What should you do to insure it's purity and safety?

 

Public Water System Monitoring:

They DO NOT monitor for any of tens of thousands of chemical compounds

Small water systems like White County (less than 2,500 people connected) are only required to monitor twice a month, and then only for coliforms

They monitor routinely for:

Turbidity, temperature, pH, chlorine, and nutrients AT THE PLANT

 

They do not monitor daily for virtually any of the EPA’s list of primary and secondary priority pollutants

 

NO small public water system or private system monitors for pesticides, herbicides, petrochemicals, solvents, organics, minerals, metals, nutrients, or substances other than those already identified unless someone has gotten ill or makes a strong case that the water may be contaminated

 

A system has to serve at least 25,000 people before it is required to do once a day coliform monitoring

 

NO well is monitored for any contaminants or pollutants unless the well owner requests it

 

NO small public water system is monitored for chemicals, minerals, or metals other than those that have been determined to be of special concern

 

No small public water system monitors more often than once a month unless special circumstances such as illness among users of the water suggest more frequent monitoring

 

Virtually no one monitors daily for arsenic, lead, copper, zinc, mercury, cadmium, or a host of other mineral or metal contaminants

 

NO Government Entity monitors daily at the point of use – after water has gone through the distribution system

 

Virtually NO Private entity monitors anything daily

 

The USEPA has identified over 200 compounds as priority pollutants. Virtually none of these are tested for in public water systems on a daily or continuous basis.

 

Of these pollutants, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium III, Chromium VI, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc, and others have been shown to have both acute and CHRONIC health effects. Acute affects mean an individual will have symptoms very soon after consumption of the substance. Chronic means that even very small amounts ingested regularly over time will have adverse affects such as permanent liver damage, permanent brain damage, permanent kidney damage, or cancer, or other permanent adverse health effects, despite no immediate symptoms of consumption.
