[Greenbuilding] water product

[Carmine Vasile]

Here's a bigger worry in today's letter to the Long Islander Editor --- Luann:
You may want to have Danny ask Supervisor Petrone if the Dix Hills’
blending wells were turned off prior to the taste-test at Cedar Beach because
bottled-water manufacturers are prohibited by the FDA to use source-blending.

     Unfortunately, most LI tap &
irrigation water comes from hundreds of blending wells needed to pass the Safe
Drinking Water Act the cheapest way possible, as noted in the attached EPA
letter dated May 19, 2011. 

   New York’s public water suppliers are
allowed to blend toxic water from shallow wells with less toxic water from deep
wells by the following passage in the NYS Health Health Code: "If an acceptable source of drinking
water is not available for use, treatment is the preferred option over blending.
Blending shall not be allowed if a generally acceptable and available treatment
technology or new source exists at a reasonable or lesser cost."
(Quote from www.gfxtechnology.com/CODE&CDC-Letter.pdf)


    According to a former SCWA employee, whenever a blending-well goes off-line, toxic water is
automatically distributed until a repair crew can fix the problem. A ban on
blending would solve this problem, but capping shallow public wells will cost
money, so politicians who never learned “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
decided it would be cheaper to shift prevention costs to health costs.

I don’t know about this product but the science is pretty solid that turbulence affects changes in water – you only have to observe rocks in a stream to get that one. Turbulence introduced in pipes has long been used for improving stormwater quality. Sonic turbulence is another technology that is finding applications (dehumidification, etc.) . It definitely makes changes in water. How effective or what those changes are effective for seems up for discussion. Increased turbulence has been shown to both decrease and increase bacterial content in pipes – meaning there has been a lot of research and some of it is contradictory. Technology spins off a lot of products and the claims often hurt the technology – which in itself is not a scam. Water quality is an issue – I am worried about what will be determined about long term usage of polyethylene water distribution pipe. Not just an issue of chemicals from the piping so much as bacterial contamination that might become an issue.

Subject: Re: [Greenbuilding] water product Really...........? So what is it made of, and what do you suppose makes it resonate? I guess it's just as well it is supposed to resonate ultrasonically. That way, none of the suckers can complain that they can't hear it.  It certainly look like metal and it appears to be fixed with a metal screw. So what stops it conducting heat away from a hot water pipe? And now that I have done some homework, it is clear that the bleeding obvious has been substantiated. Yes, it is a scam, and anybody with a junior high school education only needs to actually read the nonsence on their website to understand that. It looks like Mr. Winston did go to school - and he adeqautely sums it up. Nick Pyner

Subject: RE: [Greenbuilding] water productNick: It's not just a "metal plate clamped onto the pipe"; it's an ultrasonic resonator that extracts energy from running water. It takes a while to begin working and will NOT "cost you heat energy" either.    Before you condemn an invention you should do some homework. Carmine
