Re: Clean Water and a Healthy Planet

I have to admit that you keep bringing on new and more revealing information.  When I started, my criticism was based on the limited and useless info, but you have responded well to all of my criticisms.

I'm fortunate to live in an area with some of the best municipal water in the country.  Others are not so fortunate.  So while it's unlikely that you could do much for my water, the addition of activated carbon filtration would certainly benefit a lot of water users.

I would suggest the company hire a college chemistry student with a minor in literature to re-write some of the marketing hype, and ... less than solid claims.  

I'm not saying what you claim is impossible, merely the way some of it is claimed is ... well...   Ever hear some of those late night TV pitches...

It's not my goal to interfere with a product that works, and I believe that your system may have some beneficial effects, that's to say it's not a pure marketing scam or ripoff.

The "No Magnets" claim tells me that someone there does in fact recognize snake oil when it presents itself, and took steps to distance the product from nonsense.

The need to scale a system when radon contamination is an issue is also a very positive sign.  A charlatan would simply claim to 'neutralize' radon with a one size fits all claim.

So, while it's not an endorsement, I will say thanks for the debate. 

You should be aware though, that the salt industry does not control the water industry.  They do make a big splash though (oops).  And unless you're dumping the waste brine into a shallow pond, it's just not that much salt to worry about.

BTW, people who use whole house softeners are foolish wasters of resources, we agree on that too, I think.
