You might check out the Ultra-Sun (I think the name has changed to Sun-Pure)
under-the-sink water filter, for around $300. This is said to
remove all bacteria through the use of ultraviolet light. It also has a large
filter, which probably would remove parasites (be sure to inquire about
this). I bought this type of filter for my husband's house, my house, and my
daughter's house, and we have had excellent results with these. My daughter
and
husband live in Los Angeles, and you can imagine how bad the water is out
there! I remember the company advertised that you could take sewer water,
process it through this unit, and it would be drinkable. There are a few
chemicals which will pass through the filter; you need to inquire about its
limitations (I believe nitrates will pass through). The last number I had for
Ultra-Sun Technologies was 909 (may be 951 now) 808-1992, and I purchased the
units
from Nature's Distributors, Inc., (800) 624-7114.
I presently have a ranch in a rural setting (77 acres). The nursery next
door must use pesticides and nonorganic fertilizers, not to mention rodent
poison, and so forth. We have a well. I have a Sun-Pure filter at my kitchen
sink, but in addition I have installed a "nanofilter" because of the
excessively hard water from the well which makes using the steam bath,
dishwasher and
water distiller impossible. This nanofilter takes the parts per million of
the water from 16,000 to 22,000 down to 16 parts per million. In essence, it
is very near distilled. I had the Best Technology Company which sold me the
unit install a valve to let a little more of the dissolved solids into the
water, as I don't think it is healthy to drink distilled water on a long-term
basis. This system will run around $12,000, however, and underground outdoor
plumbing could be required, in addition, depending on your setup. If you are
interested in this second option (which would remove virtually everything
from the water), you can contact David at Best Technology Company at (909)
841-8083. He can give you his web site.
If I were in your shoes I would contact an excellent psychic to find out
before spending a lot of money where your problems are coming from, and which
remedies would be effective. I have found an excellent psychic I use for many
situations, and have never been disappointed. He is very affordable and
motived to serve rather than line his pockets. You can contact Johnnie

I have three wells, and as part of the permitting process, was required to
pass county tests for bacteria. We treated all three with the Chlorox method
another list member described. However, I don't know how long it would be
before bacteria could return. With the Ultra-Sun and the nanofilter, though,
I
don't need to worry about it.
Hope this helps,
