| 20140102968 | Pure-Sip - Endocrine disrupting compounds are routinely detected in the treated water leaving our municipal drinking water plants; however, until relatively recent advances in laboratory analysis capabilities, the trace amounts of these chemicals was not measurable. At an enormous cost we can remove these compounds using centralized municipal water treatment, but does it make sense to do so when less than 1% of our municipal water supply is ingested? Furthermore, ⅓ of waterborne disease outbreaks can be traced to contamination entering our water distribution systems after centralized treatment. The regulatory community and municipal water industry are truly at a crossroads, even if a staggering investment is made to remove endocrine disrupting compounds using centralized treatment, our treated water distribution systems will always be subject to contamination. The countertop (portable) “Pure Sip”™ low voltage Point-of-Use water treatment system uses filtration, adsorption, and UV disinfection to reliably and economically address these exposures. | 04-17-2014 |
