There are more than 350 million cubic miles of water on the Earth. One cubic mile is the equivalent of more than one trillion gallons of water.

In the United States, people use a very tiny fraction of that — a mere 400 billion gallons a day. With water, the question isn't quantity, but rather quality.

Most of those zillions of cubic miles are not drinkable. They are laced with contaminants such as lead, arsenic nitrate, chlorine, tastes, odors, even bacteria and viruses. What you need to know is how you can ensure the few gallons of water you use in your home or business every day are pure and tasty.

There's an easy way to do that. Talk with Gordon Brothers Water Inc. They know that different homes and businesses have different needs, so they provide high quality water in a variety of ways, especially through the water faucet in your home.

Gordon Bros. water softening and filtration systems come in many different sizes. Throughout much of eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, they are the exclusive dealers for Kinetico innovative water treatment products for home and businesses.

You can get the best of both worlds by having them install a Kinetico drinking water system that features state-of-the-art reverse osmosis technology, which is recognized as the most effective method of reducing a wide variety of contaminants. With this system, you have a special tap on your kitchen sink that provides water quality equivalent to the spring water you buy in a store.

So you can have pure water at home and on the road. This is the fastest growing part of Gordon Brothers' business.

Of course, it takes more than filtration systems and bottles to ensure that your water is pure. It also takes experience and knowledge.

Gordon Brothers Water has been in the business for over 60 years, and their employees are certified as water quality specialists by the Water Quality Association.

Their main office has been in Salem, Ohio, since 1945. One branch is in Cranberry Township and another in Meadville.

But, it takes only one phone call to the Cranberry office at 888-332-9990, Ext. 21, to find out the best way for Gordon Brothers to provide you with the best water you've ever tasted, as well as the supplies to keep your systems running perfectly.
