Best Water Filters & Shopping Tips



faucet water filters?

Faucet Water Filters
gatorade asked:

How effective are these and what are the differences between water filtered through the tap and boiling water?

I know that boiling kills everything. Some filters claim to remove all chemicals but keep flouride, what is that?
Larry L, what the hell are you on about? I don’t understand a thing you said.

Countertop distiller for drinking water?

Countertop Water Filter
leo3an asked:

I am looking into purchasing counter-top distiller to make drinking water. Please do not leave post on drinking tap water.

1) Could you recommend me a water distiller that is small? Price range $100 ~ $400

2) It seems distillers come with charcoal filters. What are they for? if process distillation removes impurities?

3) Since water distillation removes all essential minerals, are there additives to put in distilled water? (Is Cell Food from Lumina Products, one of them?)

4) Are there any negative aspects in using a counter-top water distiller? The time it takes to make distilled water, taste, and electric bill is not my concern.

5) Does distillation rid of all impurities?

Thank you.

Im looking for suggestion for a really good Shower Water Filter?

Shower water filter
wanderinglife asked:

I live in an apartment complex that DOES have a water softener but I think the PH levels are out of wack because several of the people in the building complain about itchy skin, scalp issues and those of us with blonde hair now have rust/orange colored hair.
When the landlord is confronted he states that the water company has already come out and things are “fine”.
I on the other hand tend to disagree … because my hair is still a rustic orange instead of a beautiful blonde – and my scalp is still flakin’ up a storm.

My skin shouldnt feel like it is, my scalp shouldnt be giving me flake issues and for the amount of money I spend on my hair it shouldnt be orange…. PLEASE HELP

Can someone with a similar situation please suggest a Shower Filter that has worked for them – I’d like the name of a brand of Filter – not just a store where I can find one (most of the ones HD, Lowes and what not carries only takes out Chlorine, I need one that takes out Iron as well.

Thank You!

what does Steam distilled water leave behind?

Countertop Water Filter
Chris asked:

I was thinking of the best way to get drinking water and looking at countertop steam distillers. some thoughts occured I can’t find answers for. what about other things that can steam up and be collected? so it removes all the heavy elements, are there still things like fluoride in it? what about hormones and chemicals from pharma products the water treatment plants can’t remove (estrogen, etc) that end up back in the water supply.

bottom line, what else will be in the water, i dont expect periodic table h2o purity, but if i prefilter with a sink filter before pouring into the distiller what am i looking at? some links please, on what can steam up or be absorbed into the water that remains.
