In home water filtration system

According to my doctor at NJH, mycobacterium attaches to the biofilm which lines the pipes from the source to your home. Therefore, there is no way to remove the mycobacterium from the water. We had planned to replaced the plumbing in our entire house but was told it would not take care of the problem. Perhaps since receiving this information 7 years ago things have changed.

Here’s some good for thought. According to Dr Elaine Ingham, an amazing soil biologist, municipalities coat the inside of pipes with cloramine to kill the bacteria and junk that attach to the inside of pipes. Then our drinking water of course is treated with chlorine. We have some small level of both chemicals in our drinking water and landscape water. She suggested using one drop of humic acid to 1 gallon of municipal water to neutralize the Chlorine and the chloramine. I’ve been doing this with my filtered drinking water at home for over a year now. It’s very inexpensive. I found liquid humid acid at a reasonable price at Walmart, and I have enough for several more years!
