The Pure Water Guru

“Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” You might recognize that oft-quoted passage from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” Taken in context, the mariner is lamenting the fact that he is sailing on the open ocean with only salt water all around him. Still, there have been times when I’ve uttered the phrase at home without making any intentional reference to literature.

Those were the dark days before I purchased a water purification system. I can still remember the ungodly contaminants floating in my glass of drinking water. In time, the sulfurous stench and displeasing taste got the better of me. I had to make a change. That’s when I went online and started looking for ways to treat and purify my drinking water. These days I wouldn’t even think about using Coleridge’s famous line.
