Salt Free: Yes Uses Salt Keeps Beneficial Minerals: Yes No Electricity: No Yes Wasted Water: No Yes (6,200 Gallons /Yr) Monthly Maintenance: No Yes (Salt) Eliminates Slimy Feeling: Yes No Yearly Operating Cost ($) $0 $566 /Yr* Requires RO System: No Yes RO Operating Costs: $0 $100-$200 /Yr. Saving Your Appliances The most important investment you make in your home are your appliances. Why not protect those investments from the damaging effects of hard water and save money on costly repairs! Repairs can cost you hundreds of dollars every year due to hard water damage. Protecting your appliances will keep them running longer and more efficiently without needless repair costs. To repair your ice maker in the fridge from hard water damage costs $230 for a repairman! A hot water heater, if protected can save you up to $30 a month in water heating by keeping scale buildup off the heating element, making it more efficient. Not protecting your water heater could cost you $300-$1,000 to replace! You also save the yearly plumber visits for clogged shower heads, minor appliance repairs or clogged pipes which will save you up to $500/ year!The Pelican NaturSoft system is designed to protect your plumbing from the damaging effects of hard water up to 75 grains per gallon of hardness (over 1,200 mg/L). Unlike the Pelican NaturSoft system, other similar systems fall short requiring the media to be replaced every 5 years and have a limited hardness rating of only 25 grains. That means we have already saved you $876 in normal yearly repairs and maintenance in the first year and prevented a costly $530 - $1,230 repair cost from damaged appliances! Saving Time Cleaning How much is your time worth? Keeping your house clean takes up a lot of your time and your time is worth something, right? The Pelican NaturSoft prevents the minerals in your water from etching your glass and fixtures and prevents the minerals from sticking to surfaces. The number one expense and time consuming job of cleaning is the removal of hard water scale from toilets, fixtures, shower heads and sinks. One study (Ohio State University) determined that it takes an average of nearly 4 hours per house cleaning hard water scale. When softened water was made available, cleaning time was cut by 40%. Over the course of a year, this would save you more than 10 8-hour work days (80 hours).We spend up to $45/month in cleaning supplies and harsh chemicals. Let's be conservative and say we save only 20% on cleaning time and supplies. If your time is worth $10/hour (and its probably worth more) we are saving you $42 a month cleaning hard water off your fixtures and in cleaning products! That's 40 hours saved and $504 a year in savings! Soaps & Savings Ever wonder why you go through so much soap when doing your laundry? Hard water prevents many soaps from properly creating soap suds and thus requires more soap and soaps containing salts and chemicals to counteract the hard water. These soaps are harsh on your skin and your clothes. The extra soap also costs you money every month, on average we spend $20/month on soaps. With the NaturSoft system installed you can reduce your soap usage and use more natural soaps with less salts and chemicals. NaturSoft reduces soap usage and improves cleaning. So what's our total savings so far? A huge $1,380 savings in 1 year from simply adding a NaturSoft system to your home. With an unlimited lifespan on the NaturSoft system, you will have paid for your system within the first year and it will pay you every year thereafter.

Is Martinelli & Co Apple Juice Worth The Extra Buck Or Two?

Apparently it is. 

"Still, one of the biggest employers in town -- the Martinelli beverage company, famous for its sparkling apple cider -- said it would rather move a planned expansion elsewhere than use fluoridated water in a new line of juices."

"We believe fluoride is bad for your body so, morally and ethically, we simply cannot put that water in our products," said John Martinelli, president of S. Martinelli & Co., his family's business for 142 years. "If half the people in this town don't want to be mass-medicated, then we shouldn't be."

Milwaukee Cryptosporidiosis outbreak

The 1993 Milwaukee Cryptosporidium outbreak was a significant distribution of the Cryptosporidium protozoan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the largest waterborne disease outbreak in documented United States history. The Howard Avenue Water Purification Plant (see Town of Lake water tower) was contaminated, and treated water showed turbidity levels well above normal. It was one of two water treatment plants for Milwaukee. The root cause of epidemic was never officially identified; initially it was suspected to be caused by the cattle genotype due to runoff from pastures.^[1] MacKenzie et al. and the CDC showed that this outbreak was caused by cryptosporidium oocysts that passed through the filtration system of one of the city's water-treatment plants, arising from a sewage treatment plant's outlet 2 miles upstream in Lake Michigan.

This abnormal condition at the water purification plant lasted from March 23 through April 8, after which, the plant was shut down. Over the span of approximately two weeks, 403,000^[2] of an estimated 1.61 million residents in the Milwaukee area (of which 880,000 were served by the malfunctioning treatment plant) became ill with the stomach cramps, fever, diarrhea and dehydrationcaused by the pathogen. At least 104^[2] deaths have been attributed to this outbreak, mostly among the elderly and immunocompromised people, such as AIDS patients.

The outbreak was discussed on Season 1 Episode 2 on Monsters Inside Me.

A Pineal Gland With Fluoride Buildup.

Fluoride is a highly toxic substance

"Fluoride is a highly toxic substance. Consider, for example, the poison warning that the FDA now requires on all fluoride toothpastes sold in the U.S. or the tens of millions of people throughout China and India who now suffer serious crippling bone diseases from drinking water with elevated levels of fluoride. In terms of acute toxicity (i.e., the dose that can cause immediate toxic consequences), fluoride is more toxic than lead, but slightly less toxic than arsenic. This is why fluoride has long been used in rodenticides and pesticides to kill pests like rats and insects. It is also why accidents involving over-ingestion of fluoridated dental products–including fluoride gels, fluoride supplements, and fluoridated water–can cause serious poisoning incidents, including death. The debate today, however, is not about fluoride’s acute toxicity, but its chronic toxicity (i.e., the dose of fluoride that if regularly consumed over an extended period of time can cause adverse effects)."

Shout Out!

If you have or know of a quality filtration manufacturer and would like to give them a shout out feel free to leave a comment.

Their prices seem good and their products appear to be of the best quality. Better quality than many of their competitors and their products are made here in the USA! I will be making it a point to only advertise for products made here in America. No slave labor filters!

I'm back in business!

A brief company history.
Back in 1994 I began  "A Pure Water Source" to provide clean affordable drinking water to people in the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas. This was back in the day before I had a computer and advertising was difficult and expensive. I had my own plumbing and construction company at the time and decided to just go to work for a commercial plumbing company. By 1998 I closed up shop and stopped working with water filtration on a regular basis. For the last ten years I have worked as a Union plumber on all sorts of systems. Medical, commercial, residential, institutional. Now It's time to bring back and start doing my own thing again. A Pure Water Source is now reborn.

Mission Statement
A Pure Water Sources purpose is to install water filtration systems for residential and commercial applications at the most affordable prices.

With the recent scientific discoveries showing the health risks associated with drinking fluoridated water, having a Pure Water Source is more important than ever before.

Here on the blog I will be posting reports about the water quality as well as the adverse affects of common contaminants found in municipal city water systems. Some of this information will make you angry. Some of it may make you sick to your stomach. Knowledge is key to living a more healthy life and avoiding many illnesses. I will be attempting to educate my viewers and customers to the potential dangers found lurking in their water. On this blog, you will see things you will not like knowing about.
