Element 4. WaterMill is an innovative, practical solution for those concerned about potential water shortages.

The process also includes filtration and antimicrobial techniques. The company estimates the system costs about 11 cents per gallon to operate, a fraction of bottled water. It installs on the outside or inside of the home. 250.717.3733. www.elementfour.com .
