Water in its natural state has one purpose, to absorb everything it comes into contact with. The problem is that water molecules will only absorb so much, and they become full. Let me give you an example. Have you ever put so much sugar in your iced tea that some of it settles on the bottom of the glass? The reason is simple, that water molecules are full and simply can't absorb any more elements.

Every wonder why you have what they call soap scum left in your bathtub? You know that unsightly ring around the tub. Simply put the water can no longer hold anymore elements, thus leaving behind dirt and grime. Luckily there are technologies that can clean the water back to a pure state. Once in its pure clean state water does what water does. It absorbs bits and pieces of all the different elements it comes into contact with, until once again it becomes full and no longer has the ability to absorb anything else.

Therein lies the problem. If in fact as soon as water is fully cleaned to its natural state, then the absorption process starts immediately. If water is then stored in a plastic container then it would stand to reason that the water molecules would start to absorb some of the chemicals in the plastic. For this reason alone then the water can no longer be pure, as advertised. There is one solution to this problem and it is called point of use filtration. Simply put this means that you should purify the water exactly at the point of use. This technology is not new, the navy has been turning sea water into drinkable water on ships for years, and the process is called reverse osmosis. It is highly technical involving a certain type of membrane.

In layman's terms what they do is force water through the membrane. The holes in this membrane are less than the size and circumference of a human hair, making it impossible for any particle larger than that to flow through the filter. Imagine turning sea water into fresh drinkable water. By storing the clean water in a stainless steel tank until it is used, this eliminates the problem of absorbing potential harmfully particles of pollutants.

Therefore as you need the water you are using the purest form of water available with today's technology. Not only does your tea or coffee tastes better but you are able to use less than you normally would because you are no longer trying to mask the taste of all the different particles that have been absorbed in your water before you get it.

Unfortunately water treatment plants use various
