Clean...Clear...Water!

Through the programs of Rotary we have all been exposed to the truth about the growing lack of potable water worldwide. This week Wayne Staton introduced us to his friend Dr. Ben Thomas, the president of Renova Water Processes. Renova is the distributor of a PORTABLE, easy to manufacture, highly efficient water purification process system. The following is taken from their website:

"Let’s start with raw sewage. That’s bad stuff, but not bad enough. So, to the sewage let’s add some used motor oil, and some stinky, rotten grease from a restaurant. Then pour in some gasoline, MTBE, some ethylene glycol (antifreeze), and some chlorinated solvents. Let’s stir in some nitrate- and phosphate-rich fertilizer, and some pesticides.

Mix in some soluble arsenic, chromium-6, radioactive isotopes, and perchlorate. Finally, let’s put in some medical wastes and a few terrorist agents – some botulinum toxin (the most poisonous substance known), some anthrax spores, some chlorine-resistant microorganisms, some parasite cysts, poliovirus, HIV-contaminated blood, and of course, some flesh-eating bacteria. Mix well.

Now…imagine that you could run that mixture through a simple water-treatment system that (in about ten minutes) will remove the bad stuff, and produce crystal clear water…clean, pure water that meets all government standards…healthy water produced at less than one cent per gallon…drinking water that tastes as good or better than any bottled water available anywhere."

This is the world of Renova Water Processes. Even if your water problem is worse than the mix above, the Renova Water Process can help. Download the Renova borchure HERE.
