Clean Water Confusion

Clean Water Confusion

A few months ago a friend shared with me that the water we drank at work was not clean all that clean despite it being from a filtration system.  This discovery had me carrying water from home thinking it was cleaner, however her portable water tester showed that it actually was only slightly better.  The confusion began when I asked what the tester was testing.  She was not sure, but that water should be as … Read entire article »
