Many years ago, we when we started our first “Pet Shop” we sold just about everything including saltwater aquariums. When people asked us how to set one up, we told them to start them with good water. Meaning use a R/ O DI unit to make pure fresh water, then put the salt mix in. But people could not afford the units. They asked where do we get OUR water? Well, we had 10, 55 gal. barrels of saltwater (From a friend who worked in the laundry department of the hospital, bleach barrels). They also had replaced their 300 gal. unit (used for kidney dialysis patients) which we purchased to keep fresh R/O DI water for the store, in the back. So we started selling water to the people and it worked so well, we still sell it today. (For the same price I might add)
People asked us how big is our tank at home? We don’t have one, our tanks and pets are here, so here in lies the secret to our great water. We would put our own pets in our water and do. It’s made with love and respect. Because it is a RESPONSIBILITY to make and sell water to go in with other peoples pets all over town. We sell water because it helps the creatures and the people to do it right and saves lives and money - That’s the secret to it’s success! OH! and you have to know how to make good water and why.
Now the local “place of death” sells water, Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they are not recommending tap water with “magic drops” in it to start the killing process anymore, But now they use their water as a fix, for everything. They started selling water to “make money” and thought they were going to hurt us at the same time. What they did not realize is it’s a service we provide, not a BIG MONEY MAKER. All it’s done is increase awareness about using R/O DI water NOT tap water. Our water sales have doubled, Good job.
So now...... they have to try and discredit OUR water. “I knew it was coming”, they can not compete on a professional level so they have to “lie and cheat” to try and stay up with “ Truth and Integrity”. They had someone from one of the chat forms say our water had a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) higher than tap water (230 TDS)
I M P O S S I B L E!
Our water runs through over 40 lbs. of commercial high grade carbon, then a pre filter, then a commercial grade R / O membrane, then another sediment filter, another pre filter, another 5 micron carbon filter, then 2 - DI cartridges and what comes out is 99.9% pure water. (0 TDS) Now that’s what we call high quality H20. We mix the salt with a max-jet 1200 for 24 hours (in sterile containers) before pumping into a 300 gal sterile holding tank to use and sell to others.
You are welcome to come and “Test” our water anytime. I would put my favorite pet in our water. Would you put yours..... in theirs?
The proof is in the pudding (or water). Just look around and you can SEE the difference. That’s right you don’t need a TDS meter (ran by a cheat) to SEE the difference. If we are able to breed endangered species, corals and inverts we must be doing something right.
