Healthy Lifestyles? My Funny Experience Of Buying A "water Filter"

It all started with a phone call asking me what I can use the grocery store. A jovial man would give me a $ 25 voucher for this store Hey, who does not want a free man $ 25 these days? But wait ... more free stuff I have also a free water test and my coupon will be delivered in person. Cool. Curiously, however. This material could be issued free if my husband and I were at home. Hmmm ...
The evening of our free coupon and testing was a knock at the door. This nice man came over under a broad set of some sort and collected directly into the kitchen. He immediately told us he was definitely not a seller Filter - he was a technician in the quality of water. In no time, he had everything set up on my desk. There was a small "filter" of some kind of attached to my faucet, so it could run water through either, or my ordinary tap. The package was opened with great bottles - empty and full, and had a great three-ring binders open before us.
He methodically went through page by page of the folder in the explanation of many problems with what comes out of my cock, always referring to him as "raw water without treatment," as if there were no facilities' municipal water in my city at all. Of course, we already knew about these problems, and for most, what he said was true. But do not stop and wanted to listen to your routine. He told us how his "filter" had been cured of skin diseases for life and so he went to work for the company. It is said that the filter is clean, so it never so much as replacing the inside means - just add salt blocks.
Most of us have stopped doing your thing, but when we showed all the symbols of all the institutions that certify their products I have taken note. Everything was there: ANSI, NSF, the Water Quality Association, all I can think of. So I asked, "What standard of the NSF does not certify these filters?" It was very hard not to laugh when I gave the answer: "All" Well, it was a bit bold to say the least, so I had to press saying: "Well ... I know some of these standards are the different types of filters, so there is a rule that applies to these filters? "
His answer: ".. Well they all, but it does not matter Nobody knows what that means anyway"
Keeping a straight face at that time was a little difficult but I managed. I do not know if he caught the eye of my husband and I went to the other.
Over time, he has killed in the bottle and a potassium hydroxide. He washed a glass, a towel and rinse in a bowl, always repeat the mantra. "The untreated raw water," as he explains when the demonstration ended, he asked if I had questions, I tried again. "So why remove the filter pollutants?" "Everything," he said.
"Really? What about fluoride? I know that fluoride is difficult to remove." I said.
"Yes, everything."
Finally, our guests began to pack his kit beautiful without trying to sell us something. I waited. It's packed. So I thought I should take the bait. After all, sales have been a long time coming and it was already in my kitchen a few hours. I did not make three. "So if someone wanted one of them, do what they cost?"
Needless to say, the more he resisted, the higher the price - a total of $ 8738.70 for the initial value of $ 6995.00 - no tax-free installation. Then followed the plan of payment, when price and interest rate really does not matter, only the monthly payment that could make all the savings to do cost-cutting soap. In the process, I learned that if I really wanted to clean water, I also have the under-sink filter to go with the big boy. It's small, shiny silver something really looked pretty. It must be worth a thousand additional Smackers added to the invoice
Printer model numbers to find later. In fact, this is a "filter" that removes the "whole" is a salt-water softener brine. Not anymore. If I was depending on the system and I keep my family safe, all I can say is, it's a good thing, that what comes from my tap is not "raw, untreated water," I have not received a voucher during the night, either, but after about a week I received a letter from www mail address where I could download one for me.
