Thank you so much for your reply. I'll take a better read as soon as i can.
Being that Florida supplies water to so many other states due to our "fresh natural springs", i assume that local businesses are of the belief that we have the best water in the Southeast US. Also, since it's so "good", you are hard pressed to find anything other than Florida water on the shelves. I'm sure the shortened travel distance makes for better profit as well.
I have friends who've tried to find water sourced from other states to no avail. There's also the issue of bath water, crops, etc. That's the reason I was hoping the John Ellis Water Machine could resolve the issue in large enough quantities to make a difference.
It would appear that I need to look into a change of address.
