Starting Point

This blog is the creation of the team at Aqua Star International, manufacturers of commercial drinking water vending products.

The subject of drinking water is complex, vitally important to individual and society alike and extremely confusing.

• How much do we need each day?
• How safe is tap water?
• Is the problem of chemicals leaching from my single-serve plastic water bottle one of concern?
• How effective are those filters that attach to a faucet or are embedded in a storage container?
• Just how serious a threat is pharmaceutical contamination to drinking water supplies?

These, and a host of related topics will be covered here. We have a point of view and obviously a blog is a platform to showcase ones opinions on all these topics, but we will try to at least acknowledge or express opposing views. Our goal is to present the issues but try to keep the level of alarm in context with current scientific supporting evidence.

If you have an interest in any of the topics listed above from a personal, professional or simply an academic perspective, we invite you to join in as we highlight each of these issues in future posts.
