Ten years ago, my sister and I achieved our dream of opening up a restaurant in a large Midwestern city. From the start we received rave reviews, and rarely had a night where we were not filled to capacity. About five years ago, in spite of the high quality of our food and in spite of our busy dining room, we noticed that our profit margins had dropped. We went through our budget with a fine tooth comb; we found a few issues with food costs that we straightened out; as contracts ended, we also renegotiated with our vendors. Then it hit us. Our problem was not with food costs, it was beverage costs! We had switched to bottled water several years prior (used in both water glasses at the tables and in cocktails). We bought in bulk to save some money, but that savings decreased over the years. Then there was the additional cost and environmental concerns of recycling and waste management. We thought about going back to municipal water, but we couldn't, in good conscience, provide that to our customers, and the taste, while not horrible, was not acceptable to us. As well, there had been a lot of studies that brought up concerns with the quality of our municipal water supply. We decided that it was time to invest in our own water treatment system. We did some research and decided to begin investigating water uv disinfection systems and home reverse osmosis systems. There are hundreds of companies on the internet selling water purification systems. Based on recommendations from other restaurant owners, we decided to rely on the same company no matter what kind of purification system with which we decided to go. So, when it was time to look at water uv disinfection systems, we spent a lot of time considering our options on http://www.isopurewater.com/Trojan-UVMax_c_2006.html. We were impressed with the variety of products in terms of both price and capacity. If we lived in a rural location, or a location that did not have reliable water testing, chances are we would have purchased one of the many great UV systems we found at http://www.isopurewater.com/Trojan-UVMAX_c_2006.html, as we learned that these are especially those areas. Our business, however, is located in an urban area. We decided to go with one of the many wonderful home reverse osmosis systems that we found at http://www.isopurewater.com/Reverse-Osmosis-Systems_c_2619.html. We believed that the reverse osmosis system would be the perfect solution for our small establishment, and, indeed, it was. The system we purchased at http://www.isopurewater.com/Reverse-Osmosis-Systems_c_2619.html was well priced. Once it arrived, moreover, we were able to get in up and running quickly. We ditched the water bottles, the customers didn't even notice, and this one step brought our beverage costs back into line. We also noticed another bonus. We had previously had lots of mineral build up in our dish sprayers and faucets, because municipal water had been used. This meant a lot of taking apart and cleaning with vinegar, something that no one enjoyed doing! With our new filtration system, this is now only necessary once a year. No one need own a restaurant to take advantage of water filtration. At the Isopure Water website, there is a system for any household that is reasonably priced and that will offer the peace of mind of knowing that potential hazards and pesky bad taste can be eliminated. water uv disinfection systems, home reverse osmosis systems
