Almost to good to be true.

Aqua Tru (click here) is a really great company with a really great product. Aqua Tru has a large variety of products. Most are purchased as a long term investment. So this is a really special gift to the people of Flint. 

The masks have a complaint against them by the American Dental Association. I doubt if AquaTru knows about the warning. (click here) Considering masks are used somewhat differently with the public than the important N95 masks. They are okay to use, but, they do not meet the requirements for hospital uses. So, considering the everyday use of masks these days, the KN95 masks are probably best used in this way.

Sherman Oaks - AquaTru (click here) is proud to collaborate with Pastor Derrick Aldridge of Second Chance Church to distribute free AquaTru water purifiers and over 2,000 high-quality KN95 masks to those most at risk in the Flint, Michigan, community, including local nursing homes and assisted living facilities.


Six years after the start of the lead crisis, the community of Flint is still struggling to access clean water. Even though the city has replaced about 85 percent of the lead pipes serving its water system, the lead pipe replacement program has been temporarily suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, still leaving some residents without safe water in their homes. 


AquaTru is an advanced countertop water purifier, certified to NSF standards to remove 83 contaminants, including over 99% of lead. Its patented, four-stage Ultra Reverse Osmosis® technology works without installation or plumbing - just plug in and purify. Its filters are also long-lasting and easy to change.


Peter Spiegel, founder, inventor and CEO of AquaTru, says, "As communities and governments work to resolve these crises, the private sector must do its part to provide innovative solutions. AquaTru is committed to raising awareness about tap water contamination and giving back to the most vulnerable communities."...

Flint - The majority of public officials (click here) named in a consolidated federal class action lawsuit related to the Flint water crisis should remain in the case, judges determined.

A panel of three United States Sixth Court of Appeals judges on Friday upheld a lower court’s decision to not dismiss cases against public officials like Gov. Rick Snyder and former Flint emergency managers Gerald Ambrose and Darnell Earley.

The sole exception was former Treasurer Andy Dillon. The appeals court judges remanded his case back down to U.S. District Court where he could potentially be discharged from the class action suit, according to court records.

Judge Karen Nelson Moore wrote the opinion and was joined by Judge Gilbert S. Merritt. Judge Eric E. Murphy dissented in part, according to records. The opinion was published Friday evening....

...“Snyder’s alleged role in creating, failing to mitigate, and covering up the crisis plausibly demonstrates deliberate indifference,” Moore wrote in the opinion....

The order today ended the repeated court filings to end the litigation against the defendants. The court proceedings go forward from here.

This isn't over.
