Protection from waterborne illness is available for both municipal and private water treatment systems by using Rosedale's Giardia Filtration system.
Most Americans take safe, contaminant free drinking water for granted. Yet waterborne disease outbreaks do occur with most directly related to contaminated surface water or groundwater with surface water sources. Violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act affect millions of Americans through water provided to the public in restaurants, hotels, campgrounds and, of course, our homes from our municipal water system.
One public health hazard associated with the organism, Giardia Lamblia, is giardiasis.
This disease causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, occasional vomiting, and low-grade fever. Surface water is exposed to contamination by Giardia from sewage and animal wastes.
Additional organisms, such as Cryptosporidium, threaten our water supplies and produce diseases with serious symptoms. Particularly atrisk, are the very young, the aged, and the
immunologically-challenged.
The federal government has provided the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), which specifically requires the control of Giardia in public water supply systems. The SWTR establishes performance criteria for water treatment to ensure a 99.9 percent reduction of Giardia in water supplies.
