Best Water Filter Orange County CA - Without Exception
via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npbGjlo_7Vk via Blogger http://rickdallen.blogspot.com/2020/09/liked-on-youtube-best-water-filter.html September 21, 2020 at 06:42PM This is a recent excerpt from an interview Rick Allen did with Jena Covello on the Nateurious podcast. You can hear the whole episode 118 here. https://www.agentnateur.com/blogs/nateurious Rick: So chloramines in Los Angeles are also the disinfectant of choice, so we know that they can strip lead from certain types of metallic piping. And I guess I probably should talk for a second about why chloramines? What are the benefits? Why are we using this stuff if we know it can strip metal off of pipes and things? Way back in the day more than 25 years ago in California, we were just using chlorine. And chlorine is very strong as a bactericidal agent to kill bacteria. And obviously, in the United States, we enjoy the benefit of killing the bacteria and managing our water sources so we’re not, you know, catching typhoid and having a bunch of disease in the water. And obviously, that’s the number one thing. When you use simple chlorine, literally bleach. When you introduce… Jena: Like for a pool? For a pool for example? Rick: Yeah. When you take that and you use that by itself to kill all the bugs, if you will, in our tap water, it reacts with fecal matter and organics and decaying leaves and things. And when it does that, it creates a whole group of things that are called disinfection byproducts. So disinfection byproducts is more than 2000 different contaminants all considered carcinogenic at different levels. So in the scope of our conversation here, we want to understand that the EPA is setting levels for all of these different things that we know are harmful to us. They’re having to balance between keeping us as safe as they can. And the cost and the practicality of our municipality being able to get it out completely. So that means they’re compromising, okay. So what happens is when you add ammonia with the chlorine and put them in together, you create much less of that group of carcinogenic things, the disinfection byproducts. So I remember way back in the day, when we made the switch from chlorine to chloramines. We were watching all the levels of disinfection byproducts. At that point, there was no legal limit for them. So the feds came in, they said, Uh-oh, these are causing cancer in lab rats, right? We’re going to set legal limits. Metropolitan Water here was at one and a half times the legal limit when the first new legal limits came in. By adding the ammonia, they were able to drop that to where they were at maybe half or two thirds of the legal limit. And therefore they’re now able to manage and meet the requirements that we that are set for them by the EPA. So by going to chloramines the benefit of it is you reduce the development of all of these disinfection byproducts that are cancerous. But it creates a bunch of other issues like stripping lead from pipes. There’s a topic I don’t know that we’ll get into it here, but it’s definitely prominent Beverly Hills. It’s prominent up and down the coast in Orange County. And it’s known as a pinhole leak problem. And what it is, is the chloramines at the levels we have them up and down the coast now have crossed the tipping point to where when you combine them with one other thing they eat through copper pipes. And so people are experiencing these really sneaky bad leaks, you know, and it could be leaking behind the wall for six months and you don’t know it. And it’s real slow and it’s, you know, it’s molding up everything in there when you finally find it and you got water on the floor or whatever. Now you tear the wall off and it’s just… Jena: All mold. Rick: …black mold. Yeah. So that’s a problem. It’s a niche of ours that we prevent those. And that’s a problem that people are experiencing that doesn’t have much to do with health, but is extremely costly. Jena: It does have to do with health though because then you have a mold issue. Rick: Actually you’re right. Yeah, yeah. Jena: A lot of people are like testing positive for like having issues have to do with the black mold in the house. Rick: Yeah. And you’re right about that. Usually they’re catching it before it becomes that devastating health threatening black mold problem. Jena: Yeah. Rick: Usually, but sometimes not. I mean, sometimes they’ll come and just go the entire kitchen is gone. We get to this, everything you know, is gone. And people don’t know you know, they don’t know so… Jena: So does New York. I hear like New York’s water is cleaner than California. But I hear the pipes are all about to explode. Rick: Ah, well, California pipes are about to explode to. Jena: Oh, wow.

It is currently the most popular water disinfectant being used. However, this chemical is being implicated in an epidemic of pinhole leaks in copper plumbing all over Southern California. In Southern California, lawsuits have been filed by two developers against Moulton Niguel Water District, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and Santa Margarita Water District. Pinhole leaks have been surfacing in the Talega community of San Clemente, throughout Ladera Ranch, and in other areas of South Orange County. We install a lot of our whole house water filter systems in these areas to stop the pinholes from occurring or coming back. Shapell Industries filed a complaint in Orange County Superior Court alleging water delivered by Moulton Niguel Water District to two Laguna Niguel communities – San Joaquin Hills and Hillcrest – was treated with chloramine, a disinfectant Shapell claims is known to cause pinhole leaks in copper pipes. The complaint states that Shapell will be forced to repair and replace plumbing in over 400 homes, and they are asking for $5 million in damages. Lennar Homes has also brought suit, alleging leaks in at least 61 homes are the direct result of “corrosive, aggressive, and/or improperly treated water” supplied by the districts. YOUR BEST PROTECTION STARTS WITH REMOVING THE CHLORAMINES FROM YOUR WATER. Change the chemistry of your water so your copper plumbing does not get attacked by the chemicals in your water. Most filters are not effective for chloramine removal, so you need truly comprehensive, specially designed systems like Pure Elements Water HealthyHome Solution system. Our systems work!

So in Flint, Michigan, some people said, well, we have this other source of water this other river, and it's got old infrastructure. But it's going to be much cheaper to deliver this water to the people in Flint if we make a switch to this, and the governor said, Great idea, everybody's gung ho, let's save some money. So they made this switch, and they switched to old led line pipes as a distribution system into Flint. So this is where Flint parallels Los Angeles to a degree because the problem was they started pulling the water from the river and they said, we have to kill the bacteria in this water. So because we have to kill the bacteria, let's just use the disinfectant of choice. And the disinfectant of choice right now is chloramines. It's a combination between chlorine and ammonia. Back back, way back in the old days, it was just free chlorine only, but there are a whole a host of reasons I could talk about for six hours about why they made a change, and started introducing ammonia with it. Some of those things are beneficial. Some of those reasons make sense. Other reasons. It's created a whole bunch of other problems. So now they put this disinfecting in, and now all of a sudden they're stripping the lead off the pipes and driving it into the community. Little children are getting sick. You know, there were some deaths and all that stuff. I know that they had court cases against a couple of the people who had made the decision.

This is a health and awareness podcast. Episode 118 turned out really good and touched on a lot of water quality concerns for everyone.

The post The Issue With Chloramines appeared first on Custom Pinhole Prevention Water Filters. via Blogger http://rickdallen.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-issue-with-chloramines.html August 27, 2020 at 05:17PM Question: Rick I’ve got pinhole leaks and I had a guy come by just the other day who said he could blow epoxy lining into my pipes and seal all those pinholes. What can you tell me about that process? Rick: Well, of all the choices that you have, the epoxy lining is the least favorable and there are a lot of reasons for that. First of all, there are a variety of different formulas and make-ups of these resins. And we don’t know which are off-gassing more than others. There was a major company that just lost a class-action lawsuit because they were using epoxy that was not EPA approved. So who knows what that was introducing into the water? The epoxy is problematic from a lot of things. We have seen it absolutely not stop pinhole leaks going forward or seal them up as promised. And in that event they try a couple times and then they end up coming and repiping around the problem. Epoxy lining has a limited life-time in this water chemistry. So what happens is over time it breaks down and it shatters like glass. Water Filtration Systems SALE! And when it does that it just continues to be introduced to the water, and clogging toilets, and clogging shower heads and looking like shards of glass in your drinking water. Once that occurs, you are really forced to either repipe the entire home. Or heaven forbid, allow more of the stuff in there. So we have the concerns about chemical off-gassing. About knowing what you’re really getting. About getting a short life and the problems that happen when it breaks down. And last but not least, it doesn’t go into your plumbing evenly so it can actually cause log jams where you might lose water pressure. For example, all the cold water in the master bathroom. Once that occurs, there not real way to figure out where the clog is and it becomes problematic having to cut out pipes to solve that problem. So epoxy lining would be the least favorable choice for anybody. First and foremost you need to address your water chemistry issues and then you do not need to repipe or consider epoxy. You simple go forward with the great copper infrastructure that you have behind your walls today.
