Hey Will. The model we got lasts 3 years and is Underwriters Laboratories approved. They actually test it at the end of its useful life. So we can be assured of good water.

I don’t know if you should look at old folks, if you want to know how to live a longer life. I know a few that smoked their whole lives and lived to be 90.

I doubt if the negative effect from bath water is that bad. However I think filtration of drinking water is a must.

Is this not taking it a step too far?

We can’t live being so paranoid.

We’re more likely to die in a car crash so should we stop driving?

Ever little helps but I think we need to just get on with life instead of worrying so much!

Hey Will, we don’t consume a lot of water at out house, like you said moslty pop. At work we have all bottled water which I use to make coffee and just drink, you had mentioned before about the water absorbing chemicals from the plastic, that concerns me, I have goggled a lot about this and figure, again like you said our poor diet will get us before the water will, but every little bit of knowledge helps us to live a more healthy lifestyle.

Yeah Anna, it is hard to know what to think. So many old, healthy folks that have never used anything but unfiltered tap water. But then again, for most of their lives the water was probably pure. I know they did not test water years ago, but I bet the drugs are a fairly recent thing. I know all the human blood contamination by the by products of Teflon are more recent. Filters may not be a bad idea. I don’t use them yet, though.

Thanks Will for suggestions. I remember when first time we moved into our home, we had only well water, and it was really hard, all our toilets were stoned. I can see this causing lot of kidney stones problems later in life if drinking tap water. However, we never did, filtered or boiled. In Europe it is very common to have such hard water. But the system was upgraded and now we get part well part Lake Ontario water, but then, probably full of drugs that are not filtered. This kind of thought scares me, I am not even sure if boiling would eliminate the drugs. Thanks again for making us aware, I think this probably be something to consider soon. Anna
