&lt;p&gt;I have used UV light for whole house water purification of rainwater, and it was a dream life. &amp;nbsp;The water tasted superb, our clothes never faded in the laundry, and our showers were radically more satisfying and healing than those with city water. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately I now live in a home where that is not possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My question to you is, could we not use white vinegar to purify our city water? &amp;nbsp;I understand it kills germs and many of us use it for whole house cleaning. &amp;nbsp;Seems like there are many possible alternatives to chlorine, as many natural plants contain germ killing properties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;filters are concerned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I recently started receiving your Newsletters and have become a fan of yours thanks to the great information you provide.  I would be interested in interviewing you for my upcoming show, &amp;quot;Life Changes With Filippo,&amp;quot; about changes happening everywhere from in our bodies to the Universe and how we can best deal with them with the tools provided us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will be in touch with you when we are ready for that to see of your interest and availability.  Since I have been reading your newsletters and site for quite sometime now I have been surprised to not have come across a solution for drinking water.  After much research o my own, I have come across and recently purchased an Ionways Athena countertop Filter.  I know that it‘s technology is good for many things since it not only Filters the water but Alkalinizes it, Ionizes it, Micro-Structures it, Oxygenates it, and so on.  I happily can say that I have already benefited from the effects and seen friends of mine benefit in great ways in just a few short months of drinking it, so I know it works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After such amazing results I decided to become a distributor of the product and if you are interested I would urge you and your readers to learn more about it at www.LifeChangesWithFilippo.com by clicking on &amp;quot;Filippo Water.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am now going around telling people, not just about this filter, but about what kind of water really comes out of our faucets, and what gets leached into our water from plastic bottles etc, and what is going on, water related, in our environment and world etc.  As part of this information that I give out, I would like to know if you know if there are things we can put in our water to protect us from chemical contamination, i.e. chemical warfare, and if maybe this filter, or other filters that can be added to it can help protect us from such concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the information and products you provide to those of us who are interested.&lt;/p&gt;
