Pur Filters

How does a whole house water filter benefit the environment?

RD Allen, noted water expert: First it reduces reliance on plastic bottles which leave a huge carbon footprint. Second it eliminates the traditional water softeners that discharge sodium chloride into the eco-system. These old fashioned water softeners are being banned across the US in communities that are becoming informed on just how much damage these old systems cause to the environment.

The Pond Sand Filter is a device that takes pond water and makes it safe to drink by filtering out bacteria that is harmful to human beings. It’s a proven technology but it has its limitations.

Pros
- No fossil fuels, solar power, or electricity required
- Nearly effortless to pump
- Purifies enough water everyday to provide hundreds of families clean & safe drinking water
- The water purified is safe enough to be used for cooking (low or no iron in the water)

Cons
- Limited lifespan (minimum two years), needs to be replaced eventually like any filter
- Increased complexity vs. the deep tube well (Murphy’s Law – more can go wrong)
- More vulnerable to vandalism than a deep-tube well (can unscrew and steal the faucets, etc)

The person in the video is a local villager. She’s not an expert in pond sand filters – but I wanted to see what the local perception of Pond Sand Filters are.
