Happy Medication Safety Week

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:07:00 -0400

This week is Medication Safety Week. Part of medication safety is properly disposing of it when it expires or is unused. Did you know that in some areas male fish are developing ovaries because of the excess estrogen and birth control pills dissolved in the ground water? If it will do that to a fish, do you want to take a chance with your family? A home water filter such as an RO System or a LINX Drinking Water System can ensure that the water you drink is healthy water.

What Are You Dumping In My Drink?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013 13:45:12 -0500

Yes, even if you think you are a good, law-abiding citizen, you are probably dumping contaminants into my morning cup of coffee. And, likewise, you are getting a bit of the Advil I took to shake off my Monday-morning headache. Our bodies simply don’t use every little bit of the pharmaceuticals we consume, so the residual ends up in the groundwater, and eventually our drinking water. Here’s an interesting article about this situation and the Great Lakes: http://greatlakesecho.org/2012/11/29/pharmaceuticals-difficult-to-treat-in-drinking-water/

We recommend adding a last line of defense before you take another drink. Our recommendation is a reverse osmosis water filter (RO system), a Boncor LINX Drinking Water System, or a bottleless water cooler.
