For your information The following is an article regarding some of the problems and conditions existing with our ground water and the benefits of using a granular carbon filter for drinking water.
Ground Water and Drinking Water
MTBE (methyl-t-butyl ether) is a member of a group of chemicals commonly known as fuel oxygenates. Oxygenates are added to fuel to increase its oxygen content. MTBE is used in gasoline throughout the United States to reduce carbon monoxide and ozone levels caused by auto emissions. MTBE replaces the use of lead as an octane enhancer since 1979. For additional information, please go to EPA's general MTBE site.
How does MTBE contaminate water supplies? Releases of MTBE to ground and surface water can occur through leaking underground storage tanks and pipelines, spills, emissions from marine engines into lakes and reservoirs, and to some extent from air deposition.
How do I know if I have MTBE in my water?
You can determine if your water contains MTBE the following ways. If your drinking water is supplied by a public water system, you can contact the system directly and ask whether they monitor for MTBE and what levels, if any, have been detected. In 2001, public water systems serving most of the population will be required to monitor for MTBE. If you have a private well, your local health department may be able to tell you if MTBE has been found in water in your area. If you want to get your water tested, call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or click here to get the phone number for the office in your state that certifies drinking water laboratories.
How can I remove MTBE from my water?
Public water systems can use existing technologies such as air stripping, granular activated carbon (GAC), and advanced oxidation to remove MTBE contamination. Some home treatment units can also remove MTBE in tap water. The EPA does not certify the effectiveness of home treatment units since it only regulates public water supplies. NSF International has a respected certification program for home treatment systems. They do certify home treatment systems for MTBE and other regulated contaminants. Another source of information on home treatment devices is the Water Quality Association. The Underwriters Labratories, Inc. website also provides further insight into home treatment devices.
