The Crystal Quest people are coming through like we wish all 
companies we deal with would.

You will recall that I bought their under-sink seven-state filter and 
that a test showed that "Total Coliform" is "Present" and the water 
is "Unsatisfactory for drinking water purposes."

Crystal Quest has developed a new 0.02 micron filter. It is new and 
not yet on their Web site. They believe this new filter will do the 
job. They are sending it to me to try. The engineer/scientist guy I 
spoke to says he would like me to use it and to let him know the 
results after I have it tested again. If it is satisfactory, then he 
will charge me a modest fee.

I questioned whether such a tight mesh would allow good water flow. 
He assured me it does.

After this new filter is in place, in addition to sending a sample to 
the state I seek an independent lab that will give a more complete 
analysis than simply good or not good to drink.
