h2ofilters asked:
Can anyone share a detailed experience (good or bad) with a water filter—countertop, wholehouse, undersink, portable, or hiking water filters? Which filter brand do you like and why?
Are portable water bottle filters convenient?
Espe asked:
I’ve seen multiple portable water bottle brands that come with an insertable water filter. However, I know that with my water pitcher filter at home, it takes a little bit of time for the water to drip down and filter. Is this the case with these portable bottles as well?
Also, none of these brands state which type of filter they sell/use. Does anyone know which manufacturer sells purified, ceramic, or reverse osmosis filters?
Thanks!
The truth about BRITA FILTER. Expensive, healthy, activated carbon, regenerateable?
coza b asked:
You may be helping a lot of people to save money and keep healthy by answering and share your experience using Brita filters.
I found that Brita Filter replacement cartridges and similar products are extremely expensive. Not mention if you have to pay for the water+sewage as well in your monthly utility bill.
1. Is it good for pregnant woman to drink water filtered by brita instead of buying bottled/distilled water?
2. Is brita filter cartridge contains only activated carbon, what are the white/cream particles inside?
3. Is it easy to regenerate just by boiling it, or you have to reactivate the carbon by baking or burning it?
4. Can you replace the carbon with regular activated carbon (with the same particle size)?
What is the best portable water filter to use for hiking / travel?
Jesus Hippie asked:
I’m looking for something that really works well. A purifier, not just a filter. Something .2 micron (or smaller) and with a built-in way to automatically chemically treat the water (iodine/chlorine etc). There are several on the market and I’m looking for other peoples experiences and opinions. Something that could be used full time for weeks at a time on long trips where your only water source is creeks and lakes and in countries with questionable tap water.
My portable AC is leaking water near the intake filter. Fixable or should I return it?

The water is suppose to recycle throughout the system. The dainage plug on the back is free and clear of debris.
