Epic Our Water Filter Goes Up To Eleven Fail

A luxury hotel in Miami has a problem after one guest died of Legionnaire's Disease.  It was traced to the hotel's water supply, and the reason behind the outbreak:
An investigation this week by county and state officials revealed that the hotel had installed a water filter powerful enough to remove chlorine from its city-supplied water, a move that encouraged bacterial growth.

"What's ironic is the hotel installed a special filtration system to enhance the quality of their drinking water,'' said Dr. Vincent Conte, the county's top epidemiologist.
Nice.  It de-chlorinated the water and failed to get rid of the bacteria.  That's a hell of a filter.

That's also a hell of an EPIC FAIL.
