        Longlast filters & On Tap Systems significantly reduce particulates larger than even 0.5 micron. Drink up!

        We've had the EPA since Nixon, and still have crap in our water, maybe it's not as good a program as we all think.

        Yes, i would guess that if 94% of our water contained anything, Trump Tower would have it as would Algore's mansion!!

        I hate Trump but what does this have to do with trump tower ? Adding that to the headline gives credence to the theories of bias.
