"We do everything involving making people's water better," Mietzner said. "Whether it is water softeners, water refiners, reverse osmosis drinking water, iron filters which take out iron from people's water and ultraviolet light systems which kill bacteria in wells. We have our own bottling plant which bottles five-gallon reverse osmosis water bottles we started in 2007. We sell those and salt out of our office and also deliver both."
