People get emotional about their morning coffee.  How about you?   Many of us can't do without it.  I look forward to it but often am disappointed when I buy my coffee outside the home.  Sometimes it is good but more often not.  Seems like I have to buy coffee four or...

(A guest blog by Britt Mittemeijer, Multipure Distributor in Winston-Salem.) During the recent Earth Day Fair miracles happened. Well, first there was the weather miracle.  The weather forecast called for intermittent rain, and yes, there were some sprinkles to...

I've never walked on water, but I have floated on top of it in the Dead Sea, a body of water whose mineral concentration is so high  that it is almost impossible to submerge!  Did you know that seawater is is 220 times saltier than normal fresh water? And the Dead...

Both the Old and New Testaments abound with tales and parables that involve water.  Whether you view these Bible stories as factual history or as archetypal mythology, it is interesting to contemplate the primal forces at work and water is certainly one of them. ...

When we think of environmentalism, we think of the term "Green", because that is the color of living plants, trees and grass.  All living things need water to survive, and all living things do better  when that water is clean.  Do you know that every drop of water...

You have probably seen the banner at the very top of this page.  That picture is Kali, my daughter Theresa's dog, poking her head up next two some glasses of fresh Multipure water.  Kali doesn't drink out of glasses, but she does get Multipure water in her dog bowl. ...

I got a call from a homeowner who wanted me to come put in a Multipure Water Filtration System under their sink and take out another brand they had used for while.  When I asked why they told me that their other system had sprung a leak for the second time and they...

     At one point in 2012, my daughter Theresa and daughter-in-law Paige were both pregnant and I am happy to report that they both gave birth to healthy babies.  But watching them grow, and grow, and grow, it became quickly apparent to me that pregnancy is a very...

Back in 1967 when almost every experience was an Ah-Hah Oh Wow revelation, I remember being told "You are what you eat."  And suddenly it made sense to eat whole grain bread, brown rice, honey instead of white sugar and that weird new health food, yogurt.  Thus began...

Apparently broken thermometers are not the only way that we can get exposed to mercury.  Our reservoirs, rivers and waterways are affected by mercury that comes down with the rain!  We know it can be harmful to eat too much local fish.  My thinking is:  if the fish...

Not all stories have a happy ending.  This one does.  At this writing I am 2 weeks away from becoming a grandfather for the third time and it gets more exciting with each one.   This past winter (month 3), my newly-pregnant daughter and her husband returned to their...

We've all heard of "fracking" (hydraulic fracturing for gas).  We've heard about this booming industry and how it may threaten drinking water supplies.  The lure of "energy independence" and plentiful jobs has fueled this boom, but what is the environmental and social...

I am a lucky guy.  In addition to having a wife and  career I love, I have three adult children to be proud of.  And as I watch them develop their life-work I see how the people they have become reflects back on the work I do (Multipure).  I like to use the term...

Bottled water has gotten a lot of bad press lately, but before I join the pack in condemning it outright, let me tell you what I like about bottled water: (1)  It's great during water emergencies.  Just ask someone who endured the earthquake in Haiti.  In a pinch, or...

Chlorine is an element with the atomic number 17.  It was named after the Greek word "khlorus," which means greenish-yellow, as it appears in the photo in its gaseous form.  It has both toxic and disinfectant qualities.  For example, German soldiers first used it in...

Unfortunately, not everyone ages as gracefully as the woman doing yoga in this picture!  It's tough when age takes its toll on joints, muscles, organs and memory.  This year I saw my Mother summon the courage to face that inevitable decline, a woman full of life and...

That depends where you live.  If you lived in Tokyo back in March 2011, yes.  Radioactive cesium and iodine were detected in the tap water at 18 municipal water treatment facilities.  Tokyo residents were told not to feed the tap water to their infants, and you can...

We know that drinking pure water is essential for health.  And it is even more important for pets who live in Multipure Water!  My daughter, Theresa, and I have watched Hetzel thrive for ten years and grow from the size of a small dime store turtle to a full grown...

After testing raw water from more than 20 wells, 6 ponds fed by underground springs and 2 public distribution systems on Cape Cod, Silent Spring  researchers found measurable levels of 18 chemicals including 9 pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, personal care products,...

  Goldfish, bluegills, dead rabbits, woman's nylons--what's any of this have to do with drinking water?  To find out, read this fascinating story about rainwater and cisterns and how a resourceful community in West Virginia is harnessing this renewable resource...

Readers Digest, that is!  This is a photo of me (left) and longtime Multipure Master Builder Ron Kafker, sharing a copy of the August 2011 Readers Digest.  The lead article is called "How Safe is Our Water?"  It focuses on the contamination from fracking, perchlorate,...

This week NASA announced that its Reconnaisance Orbiter has relayed photos of the surface of Mars that confirm the likelihood that there is liquid water on Mars.  In fact, a basic premise of the space program is: "Where there is water there is life."  That is an...

Lexington, MA is where I live and Concord is where I swim!  Walden Pond, once Henry David Thoreau's homesite (literally) is arguably where the American environmental movement began.  On a hot, sunny day, there is no better place to dive in and cool off. Last week I...
