Not at this time, no. We do mainly bigger custom systems rather than standard products, though we do have a residential line for small under the sink / household use stuff. Nothing medical grade though.

I didn't think of the implications of low pH on the infrastructure. Where I work we're more about commercial vending/restaurant equipment so we really only care about scale, which Vancouver has like none of. We did have pH treatment guys come by and pitch some woo about about how changing the pH turns it into healing water though, which didn't make a lot of sense to me chemically (does it even matter since it's going through your stomach first anyway?).

pH treatment into healing water is bullshit snakeoil.

I will throw out that it's entirely possible to provide clean drinking water to all of the native populations that are currently without. The problem (outside of cost!) is competent operators. A good operator will make or break a system, and in my mind what truly needs to happen is the proper training of operators to run the systems that would be installed. A class 4 (highest level) operator requires a 4 year university degree in a related science program, though the lower levels are significantly less (at least in Ontario).

It's because you went to the dentist and they gave you fluoride there. And in your toothpaste too.

You can tell you're free, smart, and straight by how frequently your teeth fall out.

This is accurate, though I would expect that the city is raising the ph to a suitable level and these companies are likely snake oil. Low pH will result in corrosion of copper pipes, as well as potential leeching of copper and lead into the drinking water.

This is basically why Flint has lead in their water, they increased the chlorine to deal with bacteria and all the old lead pipes started leeching.

Source for all this is that I design potable water treatment systems for a living.

Metro Vancouver does state that they add lime and sodium carbonate to raise the pH. I just had a look at the water monitoring report for my area and it is 7.1-7.4 for the month.

You'd be much more qualified than me to discern if these companies are snake oil. It sounds like they add minerals to the water which is something the city maybe doesn't do.

I forgot when I heard about this service but I recall I was immediately skeptical. You really would think Metro Vancouver would do all they can to get the water right and limit damage to pipes.

The municipality will prevent damage to their pipes, but what gets put in condos etc is beyond their control.

That said, at over 7 there shouldn't be any issues. As for health effects, soft water typically is lacking in minerals (iron, calcium, all that kind of stuff) compared to what would be described as hard water. Honestly as long as it meets the provincial standards (which I can pretty much guarantee metro Vancouver water does) there's no need to add or take poo poo out of it.

Also, don't drink deionized water, it will make you sick.

The guys who came by us were flogging the chanson countertop machines. It claims to "balance blood pH" because obviously everything you eat never interacts with stomach acids and goes directly into your blood. That's why I had to cut down on maple syrup.

Well sure, but what Toronto suburb are we talking here? There's like, the actual suburbs, and then the places that were suburbs but are now part of the city.

They both suck and will only be redeemed when the sun expands to scour the the earth, but only one of them has a vote here.

Scheer won because the Bernier Bros couldn't get to the vote in time since they were held up by the anime convention that was literally being held next door to the Conservative convention.

http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/conservative-members-frustrated-by-voting-difficulties-1.3432284

quote:

One Conservative member travelled all the way from Fort McMurray, Alta. with his wife to attend the Toronto conference. He said the candidates’ speeches on Friday night changed his mind, and he planned to vote for his new choice Saturday.

But unexpected traffic delays of up to one hour outside the Toronto Congress Centre, which was also hosting a massive anime convention, meant that he didn’t get to the ballot box in time.
