Hi Suze,

I clicked on the technology page and noticed " nanometer

sterilization " in the ecoloblue diagram.

This article from the ETC Group alerted me to the problems with nano

technology:

www.etcgroup.org/upload/publication/116/01/gt_troubledwater_april1.pdf

Food and cosmetics companies are both using nanotechnology (e.g.

Soup, ConAgra, General Mills, H. J. Heinz, Kraft Foods,

McCain Foods, Nestli, PepsiCo, Sara Lee and Unilever). See: http://

www.voyle.net/Nano%20Debate/Debate2004-0012.htm

Mellencamp's wife Elaine is a model/spokeperson for Almay and

she applies their " smart " foundation with nano particles on her face

in their television ad. I sent her a copy of the ETC Group article.

Ecoloblue also needs to reveal what they use to disinfect their

carbon filter.

It's most likely clorox (Hulda says clorox is linked to cancer;

see: The Cure and Prevention of All Cancers, 2007).

At some point, it's possible that water filter companies would be

open to research on nanotechnology and clorox.

This seems like a fantastic idea, but I'm wondering what type of

contaminants one might need to worry about when creating water from the

atmosphere? The unit has a filtering system including some sort of

sterilization, RO and UV.

What might the drawbacks be? I'm looking for a water filter for my

folks and

this seems like a better idea than a water filter.

Thoughts?

I have checked into these products because my nephew is working with a

company that is beginning a similar business. From what I understand,

there is sometimes an off taste because of the metal pipes the water

comes in contact with. To me, the biggest drawback is that it gives

you water similar to a distiller - it is dead (without minerals that

ground water would have in it). Upside? It will have no fluoride or

chlorine. Just my two cents worth. Carol S.
