Water filter scam exposed

I have come across this marketing technique. A salesperson offers you a 'free test' on the water your and your family usually drink. And they will prove that you were actually 'killing' your kids and wife by giving them contaminated water!
They just make you feel like a worm if you wont buy their water filer to "protect YOUR family's health" !
But never was aware of the 'science' behind that!
Hope this post will help at least some household from unnecessary expenditure!
The scam was exposed in the UAE, but it is valid in Qatar also!
Please see the link.

TFS... Be warned.. There are tricksters around
The next time they visit my flat..they had it!!
Good advice.
Excellent post, TFS.
I am a little aware of water technologies.
similar happening in Doha,,, few of my colleagues witnessed this drama & got preyed of. they installed their device and few were preparing to do this, which by no means needed in doha. their device is basing on Reverse osmosis, which waste 80% of water & also filters some dearly needed minerals.
any way, this is a drama, the agent contacted me to persuade my colleagues to buy their product

Yes i recall few years back, when a guy came home making similar statment and he did a test on the Tap water and the Can water we buy, where both as per the test proved to be unsafe for drinking. He had a sample of water his filter/ filteration system produce which shows to be too goo with the same test. I requested him to go to the Health Department and make this claim as Health Department has regular check of all water and his visit will eaither get him huge valume of filter order or land him BEHIND BARS for CHEATING. The Guy just Disappeared
Lesson: Good things never come looking for you, you have to go looking for them. Discourage sales people who come to your house.
