	Parents concerned with water purity for daughter with heart transplant chose UV Pure. Leo Seitz’s 4-year old daughter Kendra is doing very well at home after receiving a heart transplant this summer. As her release from hospital approached, Leo knew he needed to create an environment at their Ohio home that was completely safe and clean. Their well water supply was “a no-no for her forever”, so it was imperative that he had water without any harmful pathogens. After doing extensive research on the internet, and getting advice from his local water dealer, Clearwater, Leo purchased a UV Pure unit, and is “very pleased”. He found useful technical information on our website, and was also sold on the low maintenance features. He is hopeful he “will get many worry-free years from it”.
