Facts about U.S. Water Quality
In the United States, nearly 53% of all drinking water comes underground from wells while 47% comes aboveground from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.

US Drinking Water - The United States enjoys one of the best supplies of drinking water in the world, due, in large part, to strict regulations and standards enforced by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the 50 states. Even so, a water system may meet all EPA safe water standards and still have problems consumers might find objectionable.

Problem Water - Despite the best efforts of officials, some water supplies do not meet all applicable standards. Also, the EPA does not regulate water taste, odor or appearance. Consequently, a number of households may suffer from some kind of correctable water problem that is not regulated. Each problem can bring its own unpleasant effects into a home. Turbidity : The cloudy appearance of water caused by the presence of tiny particles of sediment. High levels of turbidity may interfere with proper water treatment and monitoring.   Rusting and corroded pipes, clothing stains, bad-tasting and smelling water, and higher water heating bills are just a few of the possible results of problem water.

Treatment - Many consumers do not realize that water problems can be solved in their home or business at the point-of-use or point-of-entry. Point-of-use (POU) refers to water quality improvement equipment which can be installed in water piping sustems, at the water faucets. Point-of-entry (POE), often called "whole house" treatment, refers to water quality improvement equipment that can be installed where the water enters the home or business.
