I distilled the results of many hours of research
into the discussions and the lists of drinking water
related sites listed on the menu page. I hope
that the information here will be helpful in your search
for answers to this important health issue.
Although
this site discusses contaminants found in water from
both municipal water companies and from private wells,
the treatment methods discussed, are mostly Point of Use
(POU) - water is treated at the point where it will be
used for drinking, cooking, etc. Many private well water
problems, bacteria, iron, heavy metals, pH imbalances,
etc., need to be treated either at the well, or as the
water enters the home and must be customized for a
particular situation. I do not go into much detail about
these treatment methods, but I provide references to
some sites that do. I try to provide only authoritative
web references.
