This reinforces water contamination concerns much of the public has had with the coal ash industry, and comes to light only 1 year after one of the worst coal ash disasters happened in Dec 2009,  “Tennessee Coal Ash Spill, An Environmental Disaster”.

Along those same lines, if you own or are considering purchasing the Black Berkeys and would like to remove Fluoride and Arsenic, choosing the PF-2’s as an add-on will accomplish this goal.

Given that fluoride is a hazardous by-product of the aluminum industry, this shouldn't shock people, but many people are unaware of this situation. My city of Louisville actually believes the myths spread by the ADA and a few others that benefit financially, or they have too much too lose. A hazardous chemical that has the wonderful benefit of lowering cavitites and no side effects? Believe it or not. I don't. Read your tube of toothpaste and it will tell you to call CDC Center for Disease Control if a small does is swallowed. Why? Hmm. An 8 ounce glass of water from most cities has the same amount, but no warning!

In a warm shower, your pores open up, allowing you to more rapidly absorb harmful chemicals from the water. An American Journal Of Public Health study showed that 2/3 of our exposure to harmful water comes while showering. Also, since chlorine vaporizes at a lower temperature and a faster rate than water, the steam you inhale while showering has a highly concentrated amount of chlorine vapor. The EPA says that there is an elevated level of chlorine gas in nearly every American home because of the level of chlorine in our shower water.
