Water staions pop-out from everywhere in our country. most of them advertise that they purify their water 10 stages others say 12. Some store say they do the reverse osmosis. My biggest question here is how true are this shops really do such process? And how sure are we that what they are selling is really clean and potable water?

It is far from satisfactory though said to meet standard. The taste is no good, sometimes the color is rusty. The roof containers add the problem, which need regular cleaning, but sometimes or somewhere not followed.
I have installed a purifying appliance, which gives much better water. I have to take care the filter be changed twice a year. Additional cost, but necessary for health.

to be able to install a water purifying system is the right step towards making sure that we are consuming clean water. there are so many unscrupulous businessmen nowadays. it seems like they multiply by geometric progression rather than arithmetically. we just couldn't tell which ones are true and reliable anymore.
most of us though prefer to trust someone rather than risk flatly on taking tap water for fear of risking drinking some contaminated water rigt out.
actually, i only started having the unit at home after having bought water from the refilling station wchich tasted ugh! definitely, that was not refined and purified water that i got.

most patrons of local water stations say that the most reliable one is aqua soft. for me i say that the most reliable one is to buy my own purifier. it may not be the best, but i am assured that what i am drinking has gone through some stages of purifying.
i bought my purifier from a local supermarket. i could easily get rid of it after a year and buying a new unit again. the unit is cheap. it will not even cost you one thousand philippine pesos.
i resorted to this method from the moment that it was shown on tv that most water stations do not really purify their water. we can see that they have all those gadgets at their posts but instead, they fill the containers directly from the tap.
so for you, elmer, you have some good reasons to doubt that these refilling stations are truly selling purified water.
