Does anyone know how these machines work? I am under the impression that there is a holding tank attached to the machine and the water is filtered off site. After all the machine shuts off and says its out of water. I dont think that the machine filters the water in the store.

I don't know, the machine has a picture of all the filters "used" and there are lots of visable tubeing and what apears to be an ro unit if you look thru the plexi above where the water is dispensed.

On a side note: This is a matter of what is right and what is wrong I will do everything within the limits of the law to make this store pay. If I do not get what is fair not only do I plan to sue but I will file for peaceful protest permits and stand in front of their parking lot with signs stateing that they are selling contaminiated water. It is contaminated with copper but if people choose not to stop and talk to me they may asume it is contaminated with other things. Hey I cant control what other people think. I think a sign saying "Walmarts sells contaminated water that killed my pets" would be quite effective.

What really tick's me off is that the sticker said it was serviced and inspected the day before I used it.

Do you have a picture of the service sticker? Do you still have any of the water left?

A picture of the service sticker to go along with your receipt and samples of the contaminated water makes for good evidence...

Go get 'em Joe!!!

It might be interesting if several of us from different areas of the country went to our WalMarts and purchased some water and tested it. I can't help but wonder if it's an isolated incident or an "epidemic".

[jojo22]

Yes that would be very interesting. I'm not sure I want to know the results.
