I have a PUR water filter on my faucet. Does this filter dechlorinate the water?

Pitcher filters, faucet filters, or just plain old bottled water – which works best on a budget?

Faucet Water Filters
DrkLashes asked:

I’m not looking to get into a debate of whether or not tap water in the US is safe or not! Please don’t reply to tell me the water is ok…

I live in central PA and they’re switching their water systems from using chlorine (which I wasn’t thrilled about to begin with) to “chloramine”.. Now all I drink is tap water and because of the medicine I’m on, I drink a LOT of it! We’re also looking into having children and it would be an EXTREMELY high risk pregnancy, so It’s really important to me to have out all excess chemicals as much as possible. (Heck I’m more worried about the chemicals than the bacteria now, thanks to the water company!)

However, we’re also on a budget! What’s the cheapest EFFECTIVE way to filter water- the kind that attaches to a faucet, the pitcher type, or is my best bet to stick with bottled water for drinking instead of playing with filters?

nicky c asked:

Our tap water is tasting pretty odd. We live in a apartment so we can only install the faucet mount type.

Even if your local municipal water supply is considered "drinkable", it's a good idea to use water filters as it will further purify the drinking water not to mention making it taste better.
