Water in nature is never really perfect and comes to us with impurities from living organisms, suspended substances, and dissolved gases and solids. All of these can affect the taste and appearance of water, not to mention its degree of both safety and hardness.

The reverse osmosis process is the same process that many hospitals throughout the country have used to filter water for consumption in the hospital.

Why Reverse Osmosis Water may be Bad For You:

by Zoltan P. Rona MD, MSc

During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have had the opportunity to observe the health effects of drinking different types of water. Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water could be hazardous to your health because of things like parasites, chlorine, fluoride and dioxins.

Magnetic water softening and scale control:

There is a long history of the promotion of magnets to alleviate the "hardness" of mineral-containing waters, and particularly to control the deposition of scale in teapots, evaporators, and especially in boilers.

The majority of magnetic water softening devices claim to work by causing the carbonate salts that would ordinarily form adherent scale deposits to precipitate as small particles within the water instead.

How-to Remove Calcium From Your Water:

It's easy to forget how important water is in our lives. Of course we need it in our diet, but in our homes, it's a tool and a fluid medium that carries material from one place to the next. And one of the reasons it does this job well is that it's very good at holding things, either by suspending them or dissolving them.

Hard water is water that has a high mineral content (water with a low mineral content is known as soft water). This content usually consists of high levels of metal ions, mainly calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the form of carbonates, but may include several other metals as well as bicarbonates and sulfates.

While it is not generally dangerous to safety or health, it does generally cause potentially costly nuisance problems in the home and in industry.

We have compiled a list of common questions and answers to hard water solutions and how the Sterling water conditioner will perform in your home.

We realize that you may be just beginning to do research at this point, and this will be a great place to begin.

I research hard water solutions nearly every day and I could see where a person could get to the point where they really don't know what to believe, and become very confused.

If you would like to talk to me personally to discuss potential hard water solutions, I invite you to call me.

Several city's have began a process that prohibit the new installation of a water softener because they pollute our environment and waste water.

The folks that make these appliances really don't want you to know this information.....
