I started talking about pure water OVER 10 years ago. Whole house systems that would work for a community.

I also have had just about endless posts about organizations and systems that are simple and effective for the outback areas that distribute these simple systems but.... no one goes beyond the... "this is neat and let's do this."

An idea is only good as an idea and a complete waist of posting if YOU do not impliment.

"GEEEEE..... HOW COOL IS THIS." Means nothing.

LOL. In some cases some progress has been made. But it really burns my ass when people come up with a "new" idea that has been around for ....................... a long time and think that they have a new idea to solve the water problems.

Then don't back it up.

I've backed some for several years. Not the best return for $ vs clean water. In fact it sucks.

It is not about the money... it is about what you DO and TRY to do. AND then DO.

Talk is very cheap and D.R. ONE has a lot of cheap talk.

The RREAL question is:

Who's gonna pay for it.

The UN bought a fleet of fancy SUV's for their bureaucrat do-gooders to drive in Haiti...but how about a million or so simple devices like this one?

Hey Bob. We've been around for awhile. Yet the same "information" with NO DUE all these years.

Nay. NOT a new idea at all. Just an OLD idea.

My POINT?

Old or new ideas but not backed; no money, no concept of how to make it work, no nothing....

It's just a "neat thing".

BULL ****. Pony up or shut up.
