Ensure You and Your Family Have the
Purest & Most Chemical-Free Drinking Water

Speaker: Laura Pressley, Ph.D.
Owner of Pure Rain Bottled Rain Water
Date: Saturday, 7pm, July 31st at Brave New Books

Dr. Pressley holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from U.T. Austin and will lead a discussion on how critical chemical-free drinking water is to the health of adults and children.

She will discuss the chemicals in Austin’s tap water, their health effects, and how various filtration processes can reduce and remove these dangerous chemicals. There are many filtration systems on the market and we’ll share the pros and cons of Reverse Osmosis, Ceramic Filters, along with others and how these systems operate and their effectiveness.

We will share chemical testing data on various sources of drinking water and show how rain water provides the purest and cleanest supply of water for drinking, bathing and gardening and how one can access this abundant resource. In the Austin area, we are very fortunate to have many sources of ultra pure drinking water along with information to help with rain water harvesting. All of these options will be shared and discussed.
