x-charset ISO-8859-1Hello All,

Katadyne is a Swiss co. and makes top quality products. NATO and others
use their equipment to unsure safe water supplies in places that do not have
any. I have no direct ownership or anyother bias less having used their
small sized filter and stayed healthy.

Subject: [biofuel] OT: Opinions On Faucet Water Filtration Systems?


Has anyone out there developed any opinions on these things?  An
example of some web research might be here:

http://www.waterfiltercomparisons.com/water_filter_comparison_matrix.cfm

I find that the human behaviour element enters into it for me: I like
having a faucet-mounted filter for some reason, even if I sacrifice a
little quality.

I note that Clorox owns Brita.

This has been on my mind for awhile.  When Brita filters showed up in
stores, I thought what a great product.  When I researched it I
found that Clorox owned it, and this made sense to me, in the same
sense that Phillip Morris owned Kraft Cheese (at one time) or RJR
owned Nabsico (cookies and such) the company with
damaging-to-humans product diversifying into something
super-wholesome-seeming.

I can't recall who owns Pur the other one you commonly see on
major store shelves.  Let's see

It seems to be a Swiss company that purchased them in 2001 ...
