How Dangerous is Organic Arsenic in drinking water?, page 1

What was the concentration level they found?
Who tested it? The guys selling the system? If so, I would get an independent test done before even thinking about signing a contract.

EPA has set the arsenic standard for drinking water at .010 parts per million (10 parts per billion) to protect consumers served by public water systems from the effects of long-term, chronic exposure to arsenic.

It really depends on where your house is located. A little arsenic won't kill you, but if there has been hydrocarbon exploration in your area in the past decade there is a chance the levels have risen from the previous baseline. If there has been a large increase, it may be something to consider, or if the preceding levels are a good percentage over what is considered safe.

My 2 cents.

he sales man said no amount of filtration can remove arsenic only reverse osmosis.

I missed the "sales man" in the sentence.

Good catch...

I have to agree with Phage. I would get a second opinion literally because you can't trust someone who's sole motivation is selling you something he just happens to provide.

Sounds like a fancy water filtration for 5000. I can find reverse osmosis sets on internet for less than 500 but I don't know if they would be suitable in your house or for your needs. No idea about arsenic but I read reverse osmosis doesn't remove 100% of all contaminants but sometimes as much as 95% (possibly depending on model and contaminant). I think Phage gave you some sound advice.

Let me say this...as I'm no chemist or expert on such matters to say the VERY least. Arsenic has been the object of several major legal actions and no small degree of suffering and hardship in the region of Northern Arkansas and the Poultry farms. It was used in their food because Arsenic apparently works to fatten them up quicker and with less expensive feed put down their gullets.

Unfortunately, to put this politely, what goes in has a way of coming back out eventually...and then it dries..and blows around the surrounding community.

Anyway....I don't mean to take this in an off direction, but the court cases had a wide variety of hard science done with expert testimony to explain precisely how Arsenic acts in Poultry and Humans alike as well as the cumulative nature of the substance for the harm it does.

Sorry I can't contribute more in a direct way, but that is where all the facts you likely seek can be found by folks who already did the labor in showing it as accepted legal evidence. Great to hear on the filtering! Everyone ought to do it these days!
