Shower water filter
Suds asked:

The hard water in my shower really dries out my skin, is there anyway to soften up the water or eliminate this problem all together? Ive seen adds on TV for this shower head that has a water filter in it…does anyone know if this thing works?

Please help, I need to find a specific water filter?

Countertop Water Filter
FlyAwayPhoenix asked:

Until recently, I have had a countertop water filter/cooler that does not need to connect to a water faucet. It was perfect; however, it broke and now I’m looking for something similar to this but cannot seem to find one aywhere =( Any suggestions would be very much appreciated
Also, I forgot to mention my previous water filter has been discontinued and therefore, finding an exact replacement is impossible

Has anyone heard of this door to door sales scam for water filtration?

Portable Water Filters
TryToHaveFun asked:

A few days ago some guy knocked on my door and had all these official looking badges on. Basically, it seemed he claimed he was from some “independent company” sponsored by “GE” to do some drinking water study and surver at no cost and assured me it wasn’t a sales pitch. A few days later, this young hot girl in tight clothes shows up for the “test and survey”. Long story short, she does all these typical BS “water tests” and even goes about cleaning parts of my house with this filtered water she’s getting from a portable filter. All in all she was here like 2 hours before I urged her to leave. Also, she claimed the whole time she was just doing a survey for GE and not selling anything. After I filled out a surver and signed (what I think was the survey) She puts on the sales pitch! Ridiculously high priced filtration system from GE and even gets some “manager” involved on the phone. Obviously I told them to take a hike. However, I’m a little rattled by all this. How can they pose as
How can they pose as being from the government or city, and who the heck are these people? The top of the two pieces of paper the ditz left me say “ARS Rescue Rooter”, “GE (symbol)”, and “Water Quality Association”. They wanted like $10,000 for this system! I really hope they didn’t some how trick me when I signed the survey. Like some fine print on the back? I still have the number from the “manager” guy she called from my phone. Anyone else run into anything like this?
