bottled-water manufacturers are prohibited by the FDA to use source-blending.</span>

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.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:#1F497D">Water quality is an issue – I am worried about what will be determined about long term usage of polyethylene water distribution pipe.
