WATER TREATMENT SERVICES:

Water Softeners
Hard water contains dissolved minerals that form deposits inside your heaters, washers, and other water-using appliances. These make them work harder than necessary.

Marin H2O installs water softeners that condition your water and deliver soft water throughout your home. They offer a Portable Exchange Service water softener, considered a smart, environmentally conscious way to enjoy the benefits of soft water.

Home Filters

If your water system does not have a filter, you are a filter. Let Marin H2O install a reverse osmosis home filtration system to provide you with delicious, pure drinking water. The system reduces contaminants as small as an atom. They offer environmentally preferred water filtration systems with recyclable components, reducing landfill waste and saving resources.

Drinking Water Systems

Culligan bottle-less cooler systems offer the latest advantages in technology to treat your existing water supply and provide your home or office with an endless supply of hot and cold drinking water.
Whether your system utilizes advanced carbon filtration or state-of-the-art reverse osmosis, Culligan can provide the highest quality water at the touch of a button. These systems refill automatically, so you don’t need to keep a supply of bottles on hand.

De-ionized Water

Ions from minerals such as sodium, calcium, iron, copper, chloride, or bromide are present in most tap water. De-ionization is a physical process that uses specially-manufactured ion exchange resins to bind to, filter out, and remove mineral salts from the water. Because the majority of water impurities are dissolved salts, de-ionization produces a high purity water. Our portable exchange tank provides service for high purity water applications such as spot-free rinsing for commercial service companies that wash boats and planes.

PLUMBING REMODEL AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Marin H2O plan, organize and design plumbing systems specifications for remodels or new construction. They work with your architect, contractor, and designer to achieve your esthetic and financial goals.

WASTE LINE MANAGEMENT & VIDEO SERVICE

Marin H2O Plumber with sewer video equipment Waste Line/ Drain Line Management:
We can’t crawl into your pipes, but the next best thing is to survey your system using a video camera. A color camera inserted into the pipeline becomes our eyes, finding damaged or blocked sections that need to be cleared, replaced or repaired. In case of blockage, we offer full rooter service to cut away any aggressive tree roots that have invaded your sewer lines.

Oriental Medicine

Oriental Medicine is based on an energetic model rather than the biochemical model of Western Medicine. The ancient Chinese recognized a vital energy behind all life forms and life processes. They called this energy qi (pronounced Chee).

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a medical technique of inserting and manipulating filiform needles into particular points on the body, with the aim of restoring health and wellbeing. Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with TCM. TCM comprises a range of traditional medical practices that developed over several thousand years including theories, diagnosis and treatments such as herbal medicine, acupuncture and massage. TCM is a form of so-called Oriental Medicine which includes other traditional East Asian medical systems such as traditional Japanese and Korean Medicine.

TCM theory asserts that processes of the human body are interrelated and in constant interaction with the environment. Signs of disharmony help the TCM practitioner understand, treat and prevent illness and disease.

Japanese Acupuncture

Acupuncture came to Japan 1,300 years ago from China through Korea, and has been refined to become a whole independent system of practice. Differing from Chinese acupuncture, Japanese acupuncturists use thin, fine needles with insertion tubes that are very gentle and relatively painless. While Chinese acupuncturists would ask their patients whether or not they felt the strong needling sensation which is often unbearable to American patients, Japanese acupuncturists cause minor pain to the patient as the doctor would “feel” the qi themselves.

Japanese acupuncture is also different from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture in point selection. While TCM acupuncture chooses treatment points by herbal diagnosis (also called “herbalized acupuncture” by Bob Flaws). Japanese acupuncture chooses points purely by classical energetic principles of yin, yang and five elements.

Treatment

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine’s ability to treat over 43 common disorders including Gastrointestinal Disorders, Urogenital Disorders, Gynecological Disorders, Respiratory Disorders, Disorders of the Bones, Muscles, Joints and Nervous System, Circulatory Disorders, Emotional and Psychological Disorders, Addictions, Eye-Ear-Nose and Throat Disorders as well as supportive therapy for other chronic and painful disorders.

Acupuncture for infants and children

Needleless treatment is primarily used for young children. Studies have shown that it is useful for treating jaundice in newborns. Infants and babies can also be successfully treated for colic, earache, ADHD, temper tantrums, crying at night, bedwetting, asthma, allergies, eczema and skin rashes.

He has served at the appointment of several governors on the California State Acupuncture Examining Committee and has been an expert witness for the California State Attorney General on several occasions.
