Have you ever tested your well water for Uranium and what did you do with the results?

When I lived in Kings Valley in Conifer, this was an ongoing problem. A reverse osmosis system will get the uranium out (we had one installed for the kitchen sink, as well as a whole house water softener system). Contact your favorite local plumber for what size you may need based on household usage. Maintenance is pretty easy, it's replacing the filters once a year. I'll warn you that you'll get spoiled - the RO water tastes delicious and you'll never want to go back to plain old tap water or bottled water ever again (I've become a water snob)! :)

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
