Yes that post is extremely misleading! You posted nothing of Purio, just that Evergreen was going to build a sewage plant. Where does it say Purio got the contract? Why did you leave out the part about the letter of intent. If that's not misleading I don't know what is.
Yes I know, I read it. Would you mind posting the rest of it where it says it's a "letter of intent", we all know what that means in penny land.
Could you post a link to show where there is a Purio clarifier actually in use? How about proof of a signed contract? Anything?
We do on average of 7000 loads of wash a year, well it seems like it anyway!
So then what exactly is the point?
Right, Evergreen Estates. Found out it was a thing, not a place. Called both the Evergreen Estates listed on Google for the state of Wa., I said they were dead ends, they were. A few posts later I found out it was a company, not a place. I said as much, it's still in the post. So.... right.
How is that misleading? I made calls, they all came up with dead ends. Why don't you post the thread where I explained myself, it's still there, more spin! Keep posting!
Let's call this "the spin zone"! lol It's a shame that this has gotten so "off topic". Purio can't do ANYTHING about "the problem" here! lol
So the carp are going to tell us? I have fished lake superior for over 40 years. I catch salmon, a variety of trout and walleye. Can't say I have EVER caught a carp! WOWEEEE
New contracts? IT was mentioned earlier that there are already three signed contracts. Does anyone have a link for these signed contracts?
It's really pointless, you and the company will spin things in any way possible for the good of this stock. You hold a few different titles here, company spokeswoman, moderator and promoter. I think that says volumes.
Let's get back to basics here. He said that the great lakes are in trouble. The fact is They are cleaner than they have been in the last 100 years and are getting better every year. His statement was false and misleading.
Sure, spin away! So how many Purio clarifiers will it take to filter Lake Superior?
What does the Great Lakes have to do with Purio products anyway? I doubt you will ever see a Purio clarifier installed in this state. The MPCA would laugh them right out the door imo!
The very first question asked would be "how will you dispose of the toxic sludge"? The company's answer: " A variety of technologies are available."
Sorry, that just wouldn't cut it.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH POLLUTED WATER? Are you serious? Talk about spinning out of control! Do you know what that article says? It says that we're not sharing our water with the rest of you! hahahaha
Water levels have almost returned to normal and with the amount of snow we just received in December believe me it won't be a problem. Invasive speceies is a problem in ALL lakes and rivers across this nation, it always has been.
Better inform yourself a little better before arguing water facts about my home area.
"Your opinion does not a lie make..."
Just as long as it's a positive one right? lol
The water is clear, clean and pure in this lake. A bucket full of 14 inch walley'e will make a good fish fry for tonight!
Completely different subject, just put another spin on what he posted. Will Purio clean up invasive speceies too? LOL
My son and I each caught a limit, all done. Going back out tomorrow too. They're biting!!!!!!!
Lake Superior
Only the biggest and the best can be called “Superior” and there is no mistaking that Lake Superior deserves its name. The largest expanse of fresh water on earth, Lake Superior covers 31,700 square miles and holds as much water as Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario combined, with room left over for three extra Lake Eries. It also holds many national treasures like the Apostle Islands, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, as well as many state treasured parks and recreational areas. The pristine waters and picturesque landscapes draw tourist from all over to enjoy the many outdoor recreation and scenic opportunities.
Unlike the other Great Lakes, Lake Superior has not experienced the same level of development, urbanization and pollution. Although Lake Superior is the cleanest and most healthy of all the Great Lakes, it is still threatened by toxic pollutants that bioaccumulate in the food chain and persist in the environment. Because of Lake Superior’s relative high quality our management focus is to preserve this special resource. The approach to preserving Lake Superior is one of protection through elimination/reduction of sources of pollution by making this lake a Zero Discharge demonstration project.
Through the Binational Program, an agreement between the states bordering Lake Superior and Ontario, Canada was drawn up that protects and restores the Lake Superior Basin. This program has focused on the entire ecosystem of Lake Superior, its air, land, water, human and wildlife. One of the goals of the Binational Program is to make Lake Superior a Zero Discharge basin by eliminating pollutants from the watershed so they don’t make their way into the lake. Many communities and industries around the basin are working on ways to prevent these pollutants, particularly mercury from entering Lake Superior. For example, the City of Superior has done a great job of reducing mercury in the community through public education and recycling efforts.
The Great Lakes are cleaner today because of clean-up efforts and pollution prevention initiatives by industry, communities and governments. That’s the conclusion of the Third Report of Progress Under the Canada-Ontario Agreement Respecting the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem, released today by the Canadian and Ontario governments.
"The Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA) sets aggressive targets for the clean-up of the Great Lakes, the world’s largest freshwater system. With the co-operation of all our partners, we have met many of these and made real progress on others," federal Environment Minister David Anderson said. "In the Great Lakes, discharges of contaminants and persistent toxic substances have dropped, as have the levels of persistent toxic substances in fish and wildlife."
"As a result, sentinel species such as osprey, lake trout and the bald eagle have returned, a clear indication that the Great Lakes are indeed cleaner than they have been in 50 years," Anderson added. "These successes show us the positive benefits of cooperative action."
I agree with that! It's just that some folks here are posting false information and lies about world water problems and the capabilities of Purio's products.
Everyone should be using some kind of POU filter for their drinking water, everyone! The kind depends on the source.
Yup, great info! Let's keep it real here folks! Got to run!
Good luck Purio's, I sincerely hope this thing pops one of these days! Heading for the lake in search of a few Walleye. Ice is thick, driving the truck on the lake now. Wish me luck! Don't worry, I don't plan on falling through!
I wish them the best of luck! I really do hope they can accomplish what they set out to do. Peeps don't want to talk technicals here so I'll try not bringing them up anymore, I know, it's all about the stock.
The Sunshine here this morning is blinding! Purio to save the worlds water problems, news at eleven! Well, let's be realistic. Do they have even one clarifier up and running at this point?
"Manipulation
Manipulation is intentional conduct designed to deceive investors by controlling or artificially affecting the market for a security. Manipulation can involve a number of techniques to affect the supply of, or demand for, a stock. They include: spreading false or misleading information about a company; improperly limiting the number of publicly-available shares; or rigging quotes, prices or trades to create a false or deceptive picture of the demand for a security. Those who engage in manipulation are subject to various civil and criminal sanctions."
Good post, some folks should be very careful about what's posted. Making false posts about what these units can do could be a crime, thanks!
I disagree with you, Earl didn't correct anything. I said that when dealing with raw sewage and contaminated water the sludge will need to be treated. Why put the big spin on it and try changing the subject? Then in the little paragraph after that he went on to agree with my statement (hardly misinformation) yet still refused to answer my question. What are the plans for treating the contaminated toxic sludge? Well of course there are ways out there, and that was his answer, there are ways or methods. Imo he has no idea how this will be done. And IMO it's a huge factor in setting these units up. He will have to answer the hard questions before a single unit will be allowed to operate. Permits will have to be issued, the design and method will have to be reviewed on a case by case situation for the location. You just don't go plugging one in and walk away, it doesn't work like that in the real world.
Chlorine produces bacteria-free water and eliminates algae and slime. It also removes hydrogen sulfide from ground water (wells and springs) and eliminates iron bacteria (cenothrix), which are associated with objectionable odor and taste.
Despite these important facts, some people still object to chlorine in their drinking water. Comments such as “I don’t like the way chlorine makes my water taste” are common.
The bad taste actually is due to an insufficient residual or the lack of chlorine in their water. If you can smell or taste chlorine in your drinking water, there isn’t enough chlorine residual in it.1 The proper dosage of chlorine to maintain the required minimum residual of “free” chlorine is the important key. If the residual falls below the “free” minimum, the reforming of chlororganics and chloramines (the taste and odor producing part of the disinfection process) takes place as a result of increased contamination (chlorine demand). The increased levels can be a result of a main break, cross connection, increased bacteria growth from a dead-end line or a combination of all of these. (There are other possibilities as well.
There are some who favor switching to bottled water to avoid drinking chlorinated water. Consumers may be startled to learn that there may be some brands of bottled water that contain cancer-causing chemicals in amounts that exceed federal standards. If these chemicals are found in bottled water, there are no regulations that require the public to be notified. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment conducted a study of 80 bottled water samples that were collected from retail stores and manufacturers between March 21 and May 22 of 1994. In 15 percent of the bottled water, cancer-causing chemicals were discovered. Nine contaminants were found in amounts that exceed federal limits. The results weren’t made public until 14 months later.2
When the same type of tests is given to a municipal or rural water district producing potable drinking water, the public must be informed immediately of any contaminants found in excess of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s limits. The water district then would be tested on a more frequent basis. The customers in the affected district are encouraged to drink bottled water but the bottled water also may be contaminated.
Many bottled water brands begin as tap water from a public water system with the chlorine residual removed. After this, it is given a two-year or more shelf life. There are little or no restrictions on the environment in which the water is stored.
The complete elimination of deadly diseases such as cholera, typhoid and others now is taken for granted. These eliminations can in part be attributed to the effectiveness of chlorinated water. Some people comment that they would rather wait until something happens and they are ordered to disinfect instead of taking preventative measures. The deaths in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada, in June 2000, were caused by E. coli as a result of run-off from a cattle ranch. No preventative measures had been taken and several lives were lost. A good thing to keep in mind is what goes in the ground today is what you will drink tomorrow. Isn’t that reason enough to see a need for disinfection?
Chlorine has been available since the early 1900s and has overwhelmingly proved its effectiveness since that time. Chlorine is as important to pure water as the polio vaccine has been to the public health.
Chlorination is used for taste and odor control, water main sterilization, algae and slime control, hydrogen sulfide removal, iron and manganese, cooling towers, low pressure drip irrigation systems and poultry drinking/processing water to name a few uses.
Water quality can be obtained by many forms of processes and alternative means of disinfection. However, a minimum residual level of the disinfectant has to be provided at the furthest distance from the injection point. So far chlorine is the only disinfectant approved that provides this required measurable residual amount. Clean, efficient, pure 100 percent chlorine is available only in gaseous form, and it has the safest accident record. Calcium hypochlorite at 65 percent and sodium hypochlorite containing 10 to 15 percent available chlorine are perceived as being safer. However, their easy-to-use containers allow for accidents and the possibility of allowing contamination even during the manufacturing process.
Chlorine in drinking water is mandatory in most states. In those where it is not, it is important to remember the benefits, cost effectiveness and safety record of chlorine gas (the purest form of chlorine) when fed through an all vacuum mounted chlorinator.

§§§ CHLORINE §§§§§
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
Chlorine is a Chemical Element, it was discovered by the swedish pharmacist C. W. Scheele (endings of XVIII century) ; the english chemist sir H. Davy (beginnings of XIX century) named it.
It was employed in Chemical Warfare (see First World War).
Chlorine appears as a Pale Greenish Gas having a characteristic BAD smelling.
WARNING!!
DON'T BREATH ITS CONCENTRATED VAPOURs!!
IT MAY OWE HAEDEMA!!
IT MAY BURN LUNGs OR INNER MOIST TISSUEs!!
In the Chemistry's Labs, it works as OXIDIZER : teachers manipule it as Chlorine's Water, e.g. its own saturated aqueous solutions (e.g. Chlorine acts as Few-Polar Molecule hence moderatly soluble in neutral aqueous media).
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
§§ LIQUID BLEACH §§§§
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
This term define several aqueous chemical stuffs, as Clorox does ; the french chemist C. L. Berthollet (early XIX century) introduced the former Chemical Oxidizer, e.g. the Bleaching Powder based on Lime/Chlorine.
Along many times, Chemical Industry produce aqueous alkaline media dissolving several Chlorine's Chemical Compounds, e.g. mainly Sodium Hypochlorite and Chlorites.
Nonetheless there isn't Chlorine Vapours, Bleach acts as an Oxidizer as Chlorine does.
WARNING!!
DON'T DRINK IT!!
KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR EYES, SKIN, etc....
DON'T ADD ANY ACIDIC STUFFs!!
IT MAY RELEASE TOXIC GAS!!
Liquid Bleach is a Sodium Hydroxide's Derivative : it acts as a Strong Base and it may destroy your living tissues.
Liquid Bleach react fastly against Acidic Stuffs : so, it release great Chlorine's Amounts leading to toxic overcomes.
I bought more also! This isn't individual investors selling, it's institutions doing the end of year shuffle. This is a buy and hold!
I'm sorry but I'm not going to argue with you. They put a spin on every single answer, such as this one:
"When the clarifier/purifier is used in wastewater treatment, there may or may not be some toxic elements in the sludge. Should they be present, these are treatable in a variety of methods that would reduce the toxicity levels to acceptable disposal standards. A variety of technologies are available."
Well of course when you pull water from a rather clean source like a pond the sludge can be used for fertalizer, IT'S ALL NATURAL!
Pull it from a sewer or contaminated water source and you have a toxic mix of sludge goo! Talk about spinning this one!
Who is going to clean up the toxic sludge? Do they have a special machine for that too? Come on, please.
RO POSITIVES
Reverse Osmosis Systems compared to other filtration methods is similar to telescopes compared to binoculars. Great for looking at planets and stars but not good for everyday use. Here are five planet and stars that R/O systems are good for.
RO membranes are capable of obtaining a high degree of rejection of dissolved solids.
Reverse osmosis is an approved treatment process for the production of USP grade water for pharmaceutical applications.
Reverse osmosis water is used to process food products and to produce water which is converted into beverages.
Reverse osmosis is an accepted component of a treatment process to produce ultrapure water in the semiconductor industry.
Reverse osmosis is an accepted component of water crafting for specific water characteristics of hardness, alkalinity and pH.
Thanks, I believe we should be discussing negatives along with the positives in order to make a wise decision for our drinking water needs.
Doesn't matter if it's water for aqua-cultures or water for drinking, here are five things you should know about Reverse Osmosis systems!
Chlorines, chloramines, hydrolysable phosphates and ortho-phosphates, VOC's and pesticides, all found in tap water, will all pass through an R/O membrane unless pre-filtered.
If tap water's temp is below 75 degrees when using low pressure, 65psi or lower,R/O system,efficiency drops drastically to LESS THAN 10%. Meaning 90% of what your trying to filter gets through.
WASTE! For every gallon of R/O filtered water generated, 3 to 5 gallons of water is flushed down the drain. Many water strapped regions are moving to block this waste.
Reverse osmosis systems are EXTREMELY SLOW. Good systems produce 1 to 2 gallon of water an HOUR! Cheeper systems less.
A well functioning R/O membrane will not only remove the hardness from your tap water it is also capable of stripping electrons off water molecules making the filtered water acidic, (pH less than 7). Making it unhealthy for drinking unless supplimented.
CONCERNS FROM THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY
The reverse osmosis concept has been applied to a multitude of industrial and medical applications.
Some years ago, the American Medical Association(AMA) published an extensive directory of medical concerns related to drinking water.
Prominent in these AMA findings was the fact that reverse osmosis was found to be CONCENTRATING the dangerous heavy metals mercury and aluminum. Mercury and aluminum have been linked with extensive neurological disorders.
We have conducted laboratory tests of a randomly selected reverse osmosis membrane operating on San Jose tap water and have found these AMA findings to be correct.
Nearly every municipal water system uses aluminum compounds(alum) in water treatment processes. Many shopping center vending machines(and some water stores) sell reverse osmosis water, using municipal tap water as a water source.
UNMASKING THE MYTHS OF REVERSE OSMOSIS
Every year, thousands of concerned homeowners invest hundreds of dollars in a reverse osmosis system. Virtually all of these individuals purchase these R/O systems not knowing some very important facts about the system.
MYTH #1: Reverse osmosis water costs you only a few pennies a gallon to produce.
TRUTH#1: To preserve any reasonable or moderate percentage of water purity(compared to manufacturer's claims), major portions of the system must be changed on a frequent basis.
When the cost of the filter and membrane changes are added to the cost of wasted water and plumber costs and divided into the number of gallons used by the homeowner over a period of one year(a realistic membrane replacement interval), the true cost per gallon will run between 25 and 35 cents per gallon. This is comparable with the operating cost of steam distillation systems.
MYTH #2: Membranes will last several years.
TRUTH #2: With good membranes running from $50 to $150 each(and some for "multi-level" marketing R/O units running up to $300 each), one can see why manufacturers are prone to "stretch the truth" about the expected lifetime of this expensive replacement item.
Even the newer TFC membranes(which are more expensive), tend to foul more easily than older technology, thus costing the homeowner even more money to keep his R/O system operating anywhere near the manufacturer's claims of water purity.
Few if any any reverse osmosis manufacturers(or distributors) provide performance data as a function of in-service operating time. Remember, the test data was obtained in a laboratory---not a homeowner's kitchen. The conditions and results are dramatically different---and reverse osmosis is a very "unforgiving" system under these conditions.
MYTH#3: Reverse osmosis will provide water that is 95-99% free of water-borne contaminants.
TRUTH #3: Reverse osmosis, when combined with a simple carbon filter WILL provide drinking water which is 98-99% free of ORGANIC CHEMICALS(chemicals which contain carbon(TCE for example); chlorine, free ammonia, etc.).
However, any carbon filter will do the same. In a home operating environment, R/O will remove only 50-80% of inorganic salts(sodium, etc) after a few months of operation.
In only rare cases do we find R/O systems removing in excess of 80% of dissolved solids(lime, sodium, heavy metals, etc) after a few months of in-home operation. The results obtained from testing hundreds of customer's water samples from in-home operating R/O units conclusively shows that manufacturer's claims for water purity are simply not being met.
Many times manufacturers will give sheets and sheets of test data showing extremely high equipment performance---and then in the small print we read "...the actual performance of (brand name) reverse osmosis systems may be less due to changes in water pressure, individual membrane efficiency, level of incoming contaminants, type of water contaminants, etc".
This is the manufacturer's "out" as they say---leaving you, the customer, holding the bag. The question here is, "...when you buy a water purifier, are you buying a system capable of providing specific in-home performance---or are you simply buying a bunch of test data sheets which do not relate to your home's water conditions."
Finally, the gradual degradation of the R/O water quality is difficult for the customer to detect, and by the time he or she decides to find out if the system is working, chances are the system is removing little or nothing---and the customer is drinking what amounts to tap water.
"Almost in a case of the history of human hubris repeating itself, albeit on a much grander scale, the glacier at Ilulissat, which supposedly spawned the iceberg that sank the Titanic, is now flowing three times faster into the sea than it did a decade ago."
"We have seen a massive acceleration of the speed with which these glaciers are moving into the sea," Robert Corell, chairman of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, said in Ilulissat yesterday. "The ice is moving at 2 meters an hour on a front 5km [3 miles] long and 1,500 meters deep. That means that this one glacier puts enough fresh water into the sea in one year to provide drinking water for a city the size of London for a year."
I believe it's time we tap the glaciers for fresh water!
"Astronauts on the International Space Station yesterday undertook one of the longest and hardest spacewalks of their mission when they made a second attempt in a seven hour repair work at the centrifuge in the distillation assembly of a hardware designed to convert urine into potable water."
SEVEN HOURS! Did he um, you know? lol
"Sunshine has no geographical boundaries. An example of some distant sales include Australia, Canada, Mexico, California, Wisconsin, Florida, etc. Sunshine manufacturers a full range of water treatment equipment, which includes: Aeration, Degasification, Deionization, Demineralization, Filtration, ARSENIC REMOVAL, Reclamation, Reverse Osmosis, Ultra Violet, Chlorinating and Water Conditioning."
It's really that simple, SUNSHINE is all we need!
