The pristine website of Evian Bottled Water describes in beautiful prose, just how their water starts as rain water in the Alps. This is most definately a fairytale. They admit to doing a huge business all over the world and that their sources of water match up with those from the Alps. Other than telling us that, they make no mention of where these other sources are. Well I for one think their beautiful website is just that and nothing more. There muliple sources of water are as great a mystery as any other bottled water supplier. Consumers beware.

We all would agree that most consumers think faucet mount water filters are the most efficient way to filter their water. Well a replacement cartridge for a PUR faucet mount water filter, Model # RF-4050, capable of a paltry 100 gallons capicity, and diconted for on line sale, is $23.98. Once again, if you are interested in efficiently improving the taste and odor of your tap water, our Model 2400with a 5,000 gallon capacity, will last for five years, and cost only $39.95. This may explain why we do not carry a faucet mount water filter here; they are simply inefficient and too expensive to operate.

Well here is proof that our model 2400 mantainence free water filteris far cheper than the ever popular Brita pitchers. Three Brita replacement filters at Amazon.com sell for $19.99. Each will filter 35 gallons of water improving the taste and odor. This means that six Brita filters would filter 210 gallons of water and cost $39.98. For $39.95, you can buy our model 2400, and improve the taste and odor of the water for 5000 gallons, and never have to change the cartridge. Need I say more?

It seems this brand "Sere Aqua Filtered Drinking water" was found to be bad in Ghana. To me this simply is further proof that bad bottled water is not just confined to the U.S. but reaches all over the world. No surprise here.

I was searching Dasani on google and came upon this statement by this division of Coca-Cola Company, concerning the voluntarary withdrawl of Dasani in the UK. It says "the withdrawal is a precautionary measure". You can read it and judge for yourself. To me it sounds like a screw up. Researching this a bit further I found this article published just when the withdrawal occurred. It is called
"Coca - Cola Admits That Dasani is Nothing But Tap Water" Seems there is more to this withdrawl than Dasani wishes to admit.

Hey they even say they tested the water at Poland Springs, and offer this chart on their webpage.






I thought the idea of bottle water was to eliminate all chlorine and dissovled solids? That is what our maintenance free water filters do. For that matter it is very apparent from this chart, that all our water filters do a much better job of supplying safe, clear water to you. Of course this is what I have been consistantly saying all along.

Well, if you really want to know, you may be sorry you asked. Just go to the homepage of Poland Spring Water Just go to "Our Natural Spring Water" and you will learn that "What it means to be from Maine" is maintaining 75 sites accross the country. A bit confusing? Here's more. They play an active role in the International Bottled Water Association. Now, that should make every consumer really comfortable with drinking their product. They are the industry marketing arm that protects and certifies the quality of the water; in 75 sites for just Poland Springs alone, not to mention all the other members. I open this site by telling you just why water quality experts agree, that properly filtered tap water is much safer and held to a much higher standard than any bottled water brand even if it has the nerve to state "What it means to be from Maine", and show an idyllic picture of a wooded natural spring on its bottles.

Inside the water filter industry, it is well known that all water filters that are certified by NSF International, are tested to double there published capacity. To you the consumer, that means that when those Led diode displays turn red on a water filter, indicating to change your cartridge, depending on your water quality, you do not have to act all that fast. Now, don't get me wrong, there is a reason for changing filters when indicated, and that reason is safety. All I am saying here is that there is no need to panic and to stop using the filter immediately. By the way, it is for this reason that we state that our model cbtas, replacement filter for the removal of arsenic, which has a 600 gallon capacity is still good for one year usage by a family of four, depending on water quality.

I came accross this most comprehensive article concerning the quality of bottled water, compiled by the Natural Resources Defense Council(NRDC) It is titled Bottled Water Pure Drink or Pure Hype? Well, with that title, and my belief that properly filtered tap water is far superior to any bottled water brand, you can understand why I liked this article. I guess I am not the only voice which does not think much of this huge bottled water business. Let me know what you think.

Well, please for give me for some redundancy, but what brings this on is another article from CNN Interactive, this time from the Earth Study page titled Filter cleans arsenic-tainted water. It is about engineers from the University of Connecticut's Critical Tecnologies Program developing of a water filter that would remove arsenic from drinking water. Well, once again I feel it necessary to point out, that on this website we have the only carbon block water filters certified by NSF Internationl (National Sanitation Foundation) to remove arsenic from drinking water. The advantage of it being a carbon block filter is that it not only removes the arsenic, but also vastly improves both the taste and odor of the water. I guess this is just an example of how far water filter technology has come, as the CNN article is six years old.

Well it seems CNN first says water filters add lead content to waters, but then in the same article states it is the brass fittings on some faucets. Some home water filters may make lead problem worse. Well it is nice to know that many of our filters reduce lead content in water, and as they are counter top in nature, they deliver drinking water immediately after they have filtered it. At least CNN said some water filters, not all. So, instead of touting toxic water filters, they should be touting toxic pumbing.

Water Filters R Us, Inc. has just joined the Gold Beach Chamber of Commerce. It was this with this community in mind that we started this Company. I am pleased to be part of this wonderful group.

Some people in my own community of Gold Beach, OR told me that arsenic is a real problem in this state, so I am addressing that problem with the only carbon block filter that is certified by NSF to eliminate arsenic, while it improves the taste and odor of the water. It is kind of expensive, but if arsenic is their problem, this sure is the best way to fix it.
