Conscious Living Systems, Inc. - 8 POINT GUIDE TO WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS

Water can be a powerful form of medicine. That should not be surprising when you realize that all the chemical reactions that give your body its life and health take place in an environment of water. The cleaner that environment is, the healthier you are.That is why as a practitioner of natural medicine, I wanted all my patients as well as my family to dring the best quality water they could find.

Back in the day before I got into the business of designing and manufacturing water treatment systems, my main goal was to give people advice about how to find a water treatment system that would work best for them. This guidance was important because most people don't have a solid background in chemistry or other sciences, and can therefore become easy prey for advertising claims that are either untrue or irrelevant - or both.

As a person with an extensive background in biochemistry I was able to look at the many claims made for water treatment products and see what was real. Because I didn't want to recommend any brand-name products, my goal was to give my client's a common-sense way of sorting through all the hype so they could find a product that best fit their needs. I produced a guide that became very popular. Eventually I was approached by a publisher who wanted to turn it into a book. That is how my book "Don't Drink the Water" (published by Lotus Press, Twin Lakes, Wi 2003 www.lotuspress.com) came to be. Soon after its publication it became the best-selling book ever written on the subject.

One of the most popular sections of that book is a 10-point guide on how to select a water treatment system. While there is much more information in the book, the essence of this guide follows.

If you want to invest your money in a water treatment system wisely, remember that the primary purpose for a water treatment system is to make your water SAFE - not alkaline or demineralized.

That may seem obvious, but notice how MOST water treatment systems are sold. What is the focus of the pitch? Stating that "this system makes water taste great" or "our system creates an alkaline stream of water that is healthy for your body" or "our system reduces contaminants" is NOT THE SAME as saying that the system makes your water SAFE TO DRINK.

As you investigate your choices, you may find that what you really want is a water treatment system that:

TOTALLY ELIMINATES dangerous PATHOGENS like bacteria, viruses, protozoan cysts, molds, and spores, and doesn't allow them to grow in the treated water;
SUBSTANTIALLY REMOVES dangerous chemicals like drug residues, hormone disrupters, and the many other toxins penetrating the aquifers from pesticides, fertilizers, landfills, leaking underground fuel tanks, and industrial wastes;
SUBSTANTIALLY REMOVES chlorine and its carcinogenic disinfection by-products and if you live where cities chloraminate the water, you want a system that can remove it;
SUBSTANTIALLY REMOVES dangerous inorganic compounds like fluoride, and heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury from water.

Doesn't reintroduce lead or other harmful contaminants back into the treated water;

The system uses enough media relative to the volume of water treated, to insure an adequate contact time with water, to provide efficient removal of target contaminants;
Is failsafe and redundant so that the water treatment system won't dispense unsafe water in the event of component failure;
Will work without electricity so you can insure yourself and your family a dependable supply of clean, healhty, safe water when you need it the most.
Uses only proven technology incorporated into standard-size commercial-grade components so that the system will be reliable and less likely to become obsolete. Made in this way a system can be easily modified and upgraded as a person's circumstances change - thereby saving both money and resources.
Can be purchased at a price that offers a solid value, and is a system that is easy to install and reasonably inexpensive to maintain.

As you research your choices you may discover that most water treatment systems on the market can achieve only a few of these goals.

This guide has been enormously popular. In its current incarnation it is called "The Conscious Person's Guide to Water Treatment Systems." It contains much more information than is presented here. You can download your own personal copy by clicking here. The "Guide" is available free of charge.
