"Now, I'd like to show you something truly amazing. I have simply taken 75 mils of household water from the tap and put in the container having rinsed it first, I'm then running some water through this equipment, which is our equipment, its called the MiniMax, its a minature of the Water Max the whole house system. I am putting the same amount of water in there, and what I want to show you is this hospital soap its basically just surgical soap, I am going to take this soap and I am going to add, got a little bit too much water there. I want this to be fair, I am going to add 4 drops of soap to this water, the tap water, and I am only going to add 2 drops to the WaterMax water. They say that 75 mils of water and 4 drops of surgical soap is the equal to a cup of in the washing machine, so we are washing. That's the tap water with 4 drops of surgical soap, this is ours with 2 drops now you will see why I didn't put 4 in there. But that's not what I want to show you, anybody who's familiar with soap scum that's that film that gets all over the tubs and the showers and everything else all the time you always have to clean. Well soap scum doesn't just get on the tub and the showers, Lou can I ask you for your assistance, I'd like you to just to do me a quick favor and wash your hands using pure soap, this is Ivory its 99.5% pure soap just wash your hands real nice in that water for me, we'll pretend you are a doctor and I will show you something you have never felt in your life, get your hands nice and wet lather up really good, that's good, just get the backs of your hands, get between your fingers, and then rinse off real good, turn toward me a little,there you go, and its all rinsed off, cup some water in your hands for me, would you, do you see any soap? nope, ok so soaps gone, here's a couple paper towels I'd like you just to dry them. Actually what you are going to find is that if you have soap scum, soap scum as I said just doesn't get on the tub and the shower. Soap scum actually gets all over your body, your face, your hair, it plugs up the pores in your skin so your skin can't breathe. Right about now your hands should begin to feel two things, they should start to feel soft as if you put lotion on them, you feel that. Yes I do. The reason why your hands feel that way is because your hands are truly clean, there is no soap scum or film on your hands like the rest of your body has on it. Your pores are opened up your skin can breathe and nature is doing what it intended the oils can come to the surface of your skin. I'd like to just demonstrate what happens, just so you know its not the soap because some people might think its a trick or something, I am just gonna take and add some of this hard water to it, you will notice that it instantly kills some of the bubbles, now the water is kind of grayed up, and now there is a bit of the soap scum that wasn't in there a minute ago, I am just trying to show you its not the soap its the water."
