I have been asking around about people's thoughts on their water and filtration for their home. It is too often over looked and many have no clue. Others feel "hey I have a great filtration system". But as I consulted with my water system guy he informed me that there are many types of filters that filter different types of contaminate. An off the shelf system is hugely lacking if effectiveness simply because the filter in the system may have nothing to do with what is needed to be filter out. He installs system all over the US and no two systems are alike. He explains that the water must first be tested to see what needs to be filtered out. Only then can the proper filters be installed. So if you think you have a "Great System" think again. You may have spent a ton of cash on a great marketing campaign.

I live in NYC and the water in the city all came from the same place and basically has all the same contaminated. So if you are here and you want a filter for NYC water I can help. I work with my water guy as he is totally over booked and NY needs a lot of filters. Just let me know and I can help you get the right thing for sink and show filtration. If you want to let me know about your concerns with water please go to my questionnaire and fill it in. I can use the info to answer questions on my blog.

One place I found you can check on what is in your water is here. http://www.ewg.org/tapwater/findings.php

Pharmaceuticals in U.S. Tap Water

Would You Like Drugs With That?
Pharmaceuticals in U.S. Tap Water
Antibiotics, sex hormones, and other prescription drugs contaminate drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, according to a 5-month investigation by the Associated Press.

What's in your water?
Use EWG's National Tap Water Quality database.

How'd the drugs get there? When people take pills, their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the rest of it is flushed down the toilet. Water treatment plants aren't designed to remove pharmaceutical residues, so they stay in the water.
What you can do:

• learn more about drugs in tap water

• find out what else is in your water in EWG's Tap Water Database

• use a reverse osmosis filtration system to remove many chemicals (though we're still investigating which filtration systems remove pharmaceuticals - stay tuned for more info)

• contact your Senators and Representatives to demand stricter oversight 

Radical New Gas Alternative That Your Kids Will be Using

Hydrogen, produced from tap water, could become the forever fuel of the future, generating power for homes, industry, and cars.

A new day is dawning for a revolutionary way to generate electric power from renewable energy sources. Imagine a future where the electrical power needed to run your computer, TV and DVD is generated from a small appliance about the size of a dishwasher located in your home. Envision generating electricity without combustion, and producing heat and pure drinking water as by-products.
Picture a world powered almost entirely by an infinitely abundant and totally clean fuel. Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, is that fuel, which can be produced from tap water to generate power for homes and cars.
