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.
