Local water quality reports

Each year by July 1st, you should receive a consumer confidence report, or drinking water report from your local water supplier. This year take a closer look at it. There may be contaminants in your water that you should consider filtering out.

Pay close attention to the MCGL. This is the level of a contaminant that the EPA has determined would be safe to drink, meaning they have not found any health risks from that particular contaminant below that level, and so would like it to be a "goal" to reach. The interesting thing is that the water company only has to comply with the MCL number. This is the number that the EPA has determined would be most feasible to expect the water system to be able to reach due to costs and technology, and is usually set at a higher level than the "goal". If your water ever tested over the MCGL, then you were drinking water that was known to be hazardous to your health.
While it is not known yet how to remove every possible contaminant from water, filtering your water with a Doulton water filter will certainly improve the likelihood of drinking "safe" water, and will always improve the odor and taste. Once you've drank filtered water, you will never go back again! The difference is that dramatic. Check out www.doulton-water.com . Our water filters come with a 30 day no hassle money back guarantee. Try one out, you'll be glad you did, and if for some odd reason you're not, return it, and we'll refund your money! Thanks for reading, Renee'
