America’s newest water safety challenge is something you’ve never heard of!
Think the toilet is the dirtiest spot in the house? You’d be wrong “There’s more fecal bacteria in your kitchen sink than there is in a toilet after you flush it” said microbiologist Charles Gerba, known as “Dr. Germ.”
(CNN) – The United States has some of the safest drinking water in the world; yet its water supply is facing a new challenge -- a slimy growth inside pipes that’s contributing to outbreaks of illness responsible for over 7 million illnesses and 6,000 deaths every year.
That’s the disturbing finding of a new analysis of waterborne disease (10 years in the making) from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
“It’s not just about ingestion of water anymore” said study co-author Vince Hill, Chief of the CDC’S waterborne disease prevention branch. “We captured a more modern picture of what waterborne disease looks like in the United States today.”
Biofilm, a glue-like mixture of bacteria, fungi, amoebas and other microorganisms, is taking up residence inside some of the 6 million miles of plumbing that support drinking, sanitation, hygiene, cooling and heating systems in US buildings, according to the report published Wednesday in the Journal of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
“If you’ve ever felt that slimy film on your teeth when you haven’t brushed in a while, that’s a biofilm. Biofilms tend to form anywhere there are microbes and water” said lead author Sarah Collier, an analytic epidemiologist at the CDC.
Robust biofilms can provide a safe haven for microbes, protecting them from disinfectants in the water, Hill said. That’s how potentially deadly water borne pathogens such as Legionella bacteria (which causes Legionnaires disease) grow and escape into the air, sickening and killing thousands each year.Easy installation Residential cleaner drinking water or Commercial cleaner pipes and lower maintenance costs
In fact, the report found over 90% of all deaths and the majority of hospitalizations from waterborne diseases are caused by just three airborne pathogens that prosper in biofilms. “It’s sort of a paradigm shift for us: ‘Oh my gosh, there are things growing inside these pipes,’ whether it’s inside the water utilities system or inside your home,” Hill said.“So that’s kind of the new frontier that we’re recognizing,” Collier added.

“And we think this is an area where we can help prevent disease. The result has been the development of a water treatment device which is able clear furred up pipes, stop corrosion and improve drinking water quality with functionality whether the water is standing or flowing and regardless of the rate of flow.

Over 3 billion in health care costs
The CDC team estimated total illnesses, visits to emergency rooms, hospitalizations, deaths, and direct health care costs for 17 waterborne infectious diseases that can be found in homes and industrial plumbing, hot tubs, recreational pools, and water parks.
According to Hill, it was the first report to examine disease from all water sources (drinking, recreational, and environmental), and all exposure routes (ingestion, contact, and inhalation). The analysis found that over 7 million waterborne illnesses occur each year, resulting in over 600,000 visits to emergency rooms, 118,000 hospitalizations, and 6,630 deaths – totaling $3.33 billion in direct healthcare costs.
Otitis externa, more commonly known as swimmer’s ear, was the most common ailment, accounting for 4.7 million or 65% of annual water borne illnesses and 20% of hospitalizations. Norovirus infections, which cause vomiting and diarrhea, were the second most common, with 1.3 million cases, followed by the diarrheal disease giardiasis, with just over 400,000 annual cases. While much less frequent, the biofilm associated pathogens, were responsible for the highest number of hospitalizations and deaths, costing the U.S. healthcare system $2.39 billion annually. Nontuberculous mycobacteria disease causes lung, skin, and soft tissue infections that can be difficult to control. Also called NMT, it was the deadliest of the three, causing 51,400 hospitalizations (44%) and 3,800 deaths (57%) a year. Direct healthcare costs in the US from NMT were $1.53 billion annually. Legionella bacteria, responsible for outbreaks of the pneumonia-type illness called Pontiac fever, caused 995 deaths (15%) each year, the report found.
Pseudomonas pneumonia was responsible for 15,500 hospitalizations and 730 deaths each year, costing the US $453 million annually.
People would come in contact with these airborne diseases through shower heads, building cooling towers and decorative outdoor fountains, among other sources, the report said.

The CDC team also tracked illnesses caused by the parasite cryptosporidium and salmonella, shigella, vibrio, campylobacter and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli bacterias, which all typically cause stomach cramps and bloody diarrhea.Because cryptosporidium is “extremely chlorine resistant” and highly infectious at low doses, it has emerged a
The CDC team also tracked illnesses caused by the parasite cryptosporidium and salmonella, shigella, vibrio, campylobacter and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli bacterias, which all typically cause stomach cramps and bloody diarrhea.Because cryptosporidium is “extremely chlorine resistant” and highly infectious at low doses, it has emerged as the major cause of outbreaks associated with treated aquatic venues, the report said.
Then there is the issue of aging pipes, and the challenges of private wells or unregulated water systems that serve an estimated 43 million persons.
“Drinking water from the treatment plant to your water meter is really heavily regulated and a lot of work is put into making sure that it’s safe,” Collier said. “Once it’s in your house or in a building, however, it’s on the individual homeowner or the building owner to make sure it’s safe.”
Consumers can do their part, Roberson said, by understanding their home plumbing system, starting with where the water comes into their home, the materials that make up the plumbing, and how the water is distributed throughout the house.
“While it’s not part of this report, the country has around 6 million lead service lines and the ownership of those service lines are typically split between the water system and the property owner,” Roberson said. “So, removal of all of those lines is another public health initiative that’s going to require a collaborative effort across a large number of communities.”
Corrosion (rust), Lime Scale, algae/microbiological problems and Crude Oil Impurities (paraffin wax) they are common problems in many piped systems. The NAWT Collar water treatment system detaches the oxidation, lime, corrosion, algae or paraffin and restricts more from developing.

A variety of water treatment systems already exist for commercial and residential use. Unfortunately, many of these systems rely on magnets, harsh chemicals and electro-signals. Magnet systems deal with iron only, causing the treated area to clog with the attracted iron particles resulting in the expensive replacement of entire pipe section. Chemical systems contribute to the corrosion and decay of the systems they are applied to. Electro-signal systems do nothing to deal directly with the problem and are deployed for maintenance notifications when a system reaches a predetermined inefficient state.
In the early nineties a new innovative bio-signal water treatment device founded. The result has been the development of a water treatment device which is able clear furred up pipes, stop corrosion and improve drinking water quality with functionality whether the water is standing or flowing and regardless of the rate of flow. “The solution is NAWT Collar a bio-signal water treatment device”, which fully satisfies all the above requirements. The problem of pin-holed pipes and rusted pipes has always come first, and the aim has been to keep the pipes free from deposits and corrosion. We take raw data from our clients and turn it into a meaningful results. We work with our users throughout the process to ensure that the analysis is relevant. We are committed to providing clean, in-depth datasets.

The NAWT Collar water treatment system detaches the oxidation, lime, corrosion, algae or paraffin and restricts more from developing. What’s even more impressive is that this technology does it without the use of chemicals or energy input systems of any type after its manufacturing. Huge savings have been documented from the reduced need for cleaning equipment, like boilers for example. Heat Exchangers and Cooling Towers save on chemicals and make for an environmentally friendly workplace. A great advantage is that the performance and thermal transference of a system is maintained at a constant and optimum level with no additional deposits being formed to deter transfer of heat and loss of efficiency in the system.
