@lch713 We installed an osmosis filter system under our kitchen sink. I really don't drink much water. I drink wine, soda, tea from water I have boiled....I mostly take baths, but do occasionally shower. we turned up the water temp on our water heater to 140 degrees, that is suppose to kill the mac. There is a topic on the Discussion Board. You can find the discussion board at the Connect Mac Group home page.

@lch713 @windwalker according to NJ, new research shows that turning up water heater temp doesn't kill MAC, but instead makes it heat resistant...they now recommend maintaining temp no higher than 130. Bottom line: wo/whole house filter you're ingesting MAC.
