Guest guest Posted September 11, 1999 Report Share Posted September 11, 1999 Hi Group, Allowing your drinking/cooking water to sit our over night will cause the chlorine gas to dissipate and make the water taste better. It is probably better for your body too. There are all sorts of attractive water urns with push button taps available in large grocery stores. Is there a good reason why I should buy distilled water? Any scientific studies? The local (San Diego) TV station did a news segment on bottled water, some time ago and concluded that most of it was MORE polluted than the tap water!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 1999 Report Share Posted September 12, 1999 You might want to go for something better in the long run, Tony, but I got one of those on-the-faucet kind for about $15, and I can tell it takes a lot of the chlorine out just by the taste and smell. You might want to get one while you save up for a better one. I can drink a whole lot more water with mine, as the chlorine taste always put me off.

I own the countertop Amway one that cost a couple of hundred bucks but I saved it back already in terms of what it costs for bottled water or a delivery service for it.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 1999 Report Share Posted September 12, 1999 There was a lengthy discussion of this last year, but I think it was before we moved to ONElist so there probably aren't any archives. If you can, get and RO (reverse osmosis) unit vs. bottled water. There are many reasons to do more than try to precipitate the Chlorine out, including fluoride, chloride remnant after sitting, bugs, heavy metals, etc. Regards, Geoff Crenshaw, ACC ----------------------- Captain Cook's Cruise Center ** Usual Disclaimers ** ----------------------- Religion: Man's attempt to discover God Christianity: God's offer to save humankind rheumatic Re: Water Filters > From: glenda j Stangel <glendas41@...> > > Hi Group, > Allowing your drinking/cooking water to sit our over night will cause the > > chlorine gas to dissipate and make the water taste better.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 1999 Report Share Posted September 12, 1999 I use the PUR water filter that attached directly to the tap. It costs about 11.00 cdn. for about 6 - 8 weeks. It measures the water with a dial inside of the unit and when 500 gallons has passed through it stops working. This ensures that the water is truly filtered and eliminates the need to keep track of it yourself. The unit is around $40.00. (again cdn) I did this because I got tired of putting the water in the brita and waiting for it to go through the filter. I wanted something easy to use. This also tilts back to allow regular water to flow through the tap to use for cleaning etc. I have the stats for it if you want to compair what impurities it filters and how much.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 I am using Dr. 's WaterMaker and am very happy with it. It has to be attached to the faucet each time it's used but for the price, it's worth it. You can buy an attachment so you can use the faucet while the filter is attached, also. -----Original Message-----From: Dan [mailto:granadahills2002@...] Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 7:02 PMDr Subject: Water FiltersIt's called the "CS-8 liter Freedom Filter" and it's the best price I've seen for water filters at this website .http://americanfreedomnews.com/mcart/index.cgi?code=3 & cat=16Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi, There's been several posts on this list about water filters recently. Before you invest in a new water filter, I would suggest that you read Hulda 's new book (The Cure and Prevention of all Cancers). Hulda identifies the following 4 components that she says must be present to form a tumor nucleus: • Polonium • Cerium • Potassium Ferrocyanide • Fasciolopsis Buski parasite All of the elements except for the parasite—are found in chlorox bleach. This laundry whitener has become a universal antiseptic used to disinfect everything from municipal water and household water filters to vegetables, processed food and fish. Note: Hulda has found that 95% of all water filters (and all softeners that she has tested) are disinfected with chlorox. She says coconut shell filters are a better option than carbon but they need to be boiled to remove natural oils. Jo Fahey Re: water filters Posted by: " Parashis " artpages@... elizabethparashis Sat Nov 15, 2008 8:25 am (PST) Christmas is coming up and I want to give my son and myself a countertop filter system like Brita. But wonder if there's a filter for that? If I go on a Brita site the sales department will make claims that may not be true. Anyone know for sure what to get for lead, chlorine and fluoride?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi all, I'm new to the group. I know that reverse osmosis is one good way to filter water but I am purifying my drinking water with a vapor distiller and then adding ConcenTrace to the pure distilled water. A distiller is about $100 although you can spend more. Amazon has a variety of models. Distilling your own water supposedly even removes trace pharmaceuticals that are getting into municipal water systems. Just be sure to add minerals back in. deb > > Just a quick note about water filters. Reverse-Osmosis water treatment systems are the most inefficient systems available out there, and use a lot of energy to do the job they do. I don't recall the exact numbers but for every gallon that you consume, a large amount of gallons are wasted. I have had great luck in the past(for drinking water) with under the sink filters from Sears. They used to have a triple filter system but I think most of them are two filter systems now, with a pre-filter for particles, and then a charcoal filter to remove like 99+% of the chlorine and other chemicals in the water. You can use a pool test kit like those used for swimming pools to test for most chemicals, especially chlorine. It's not rocket science and a decent handy-man can install an under-the sink unit, or you can do it yourself if your are handy. I've installed several of them in houses I have moved to.I also have put a pre-filter system on a fridge I had, on the > line in front of the factory system for the fridge. Again, cheap and relatively easy to install. They don't last for thousands of gallons but are still nice to have set up for ice and quick cold drinks and they get rid of most of the chemicals.For showers an washing, you need a whole house system  but again you can piggy-back a series of bigger filters from sears(or a similar big appliance type outlet), and get a cheapo system that doesn't use a lot of energy and doesn't waste a lot of water. You might need a really handy guy, or a plumber, to do the whole house thing. Be careful with whole-house systems, especially big outside units. they can be very expensive and marginally effective. There was a California outfit I found that made a great system that was so good people would disconnect it and take it with them if they moved. I'll find out who it was and pass it on if I can find the old info on an old laptop. There are a lot of scammers in the water > filtration business, so don't fall the typical sales pitch where they come to your house and test your water, then freak you out and give you the typical sign up now or the price doubles pitch. Have any testing done independently, then thoroughly research all water filtration systems. Whole house systems are typically expensive to install and expensive to operate.Steve C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
