Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I use Brita jug filters, which you can get a good price on at Costco. I can't say I've done exhaustive research comparing various systems, but it's at least a basic charcoal filter, and I believe they claim to reduce fluoride and chlorine. I'm fortunate to be on well water right now so I don't even filter it for most uses. I did use Brita when I lived in the SF Bay Area and it did improve the taste and smell of tap water. You're in Lehi, Utah? My folks are in Orem. Jeanmarie On Oct 2, 2009, at 12:30 PM, Betty Pearson wrote: > We do not have a water filter or purifier.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 You can always find a friend with an RO system.. I did that for awhile. Otherwise, distilled water works.
