Water Filter

[Guest guest]

The best water in my opinion is distilled water. I bought a Polar

Bear which is very dependable from www.improvinglife.com (the best

price I found). If you don't want to spend this kind of money, Wal-

Mart has very good distilled water at a good price. If you are

concerned with minerals, take a good green food. You can add Aerobic

Oxygen to the distilled water to raise PH and provide additional

oxygen.

Jane,

I add about 20 drops to a gallon just for regular drinking but if you

are taking it for candida you need to add some extra. I can handle a

lot, up to 70 drops in one daily dose but everybody can not tolerate

this much, you need to find what is right for you by gradually

increasing the amount, you will know when you have reached the max.

The suggested dosage is 20 drops 3 times a day but I seem to get more

benefit from one large dose.

Threre is a lot of good green food products on the market but they

are expensive and I have been mixing my own with bulk herbs from

www.herbalcom.com. I don't take Spiralina and Chlorella anymore due

to concerns with mercury and I can't use Alfalfa anymore due to the

phytoestrogens in it. This gives some women real problems with the

hormones and with me it made my prostate swell up. Alfalfa is loaded

with minerals but I'm going to eliminate it and continue with Wheat

Grass and Barley Grass. I also add Milk Thistle, Maca Herb and

Slipery Elm.

I think on my next order I'm going to add Brewers Yeast, Horsetail

(Shave grass), Beet Powder, Spinach, Oat Straw, Purple Dulse (Not

supposed to have mercury), dandelion, Irish Moss, Ginger, Rose Hips,

Bee Pollen, Lecithin, Hops, Plantain and Marshmallow.

I will mix 4 parts of Wheat Grass, 4 parts Barley Grass and 1 part

each of all the other. I'm not real sure about the preportions, just

experimenting.

Hi Tom,

This makes perfect sense in regards to the contamination. I didn't realize that

there are phytoestrogens in alfalfa. Have you tried specific green food products

on the market that are 'clean'? Do you mean

products like Barley Green? Symon's mixture? Green Factors?  What are the good

green food products?

Your mixture sounds so well balanced. Do you drink this in water  or some other

form?   I have also been thinking of adding more seaweed to my diet. The purple

dulse is supposed to be free of mercury

contamination - is that true of the other seaweeds such as kombu, kelp, etc? 

These foods, like alfalfa are so nutrient dense.

Thank you for your help -- and putting up with so many questions ;-)

Hello Will!

Fluoride in the form of hydrofluosilicic acid is the most dangerous

chemical in Mpls. tap water. Only distillation or reverse osmosis will

remove fluoride.

This is a statement by a college professor with a PhD in chemistry:

" You can easily see that fluoride competes with the highest toxicity of

any compounds on the face of the earth. It is far more toxic than

arsenic, lead, cadmium, thallium and even Sarin nerve gas. It has killed

more animals on

earth than any other substance known. "

www.4optimallife.com/Fluoridated_Water_May_Be_Dangerous.htm

I drink Kandiohi Drinking Water from Cub that costs 79¢ a gallon. This

water has been treated with R/O and then had calcium, magnesium, and

potassium added.

I add an ounce of Master's Miracle Neutralizer and enough New Energy

Catalyst water to bring the pH up to 7.0.

I energize my drinking water by treating it with Prills and then Cosmic

Energy Stones. This raises the Bovis Energy reading to somewhere

between 4 and 10 million Bovis.

I had heard of these Prill beads and concluded they were too good to

be true. It just sounded too fantastic.

Please explain Bovis energy, if you'd be so kind. Thanks.

Thanks Jacqui - we have the Kitchen Spring which we got through the -McBrides and we are very pleased with it. We are on auto ship for the filters so we don;t have to rember when to do it - it just arrives

Which one does the bath water too?

Just a thought, may be if a few people are interested they would

consider a discount? Worth asking.

It's called a 10 " big blue (and yes I am aware that sounds rude but I

have not made it up!). We have the carbon filter and it's good for an

average 3-4 bedroom house. It it fitted where the water supply comes

in so it actually does the whole house including drinking water, bath

and shower. It's really made a difference with the chlorine - smell

and taste. We also had already got one for the drinking water so ours

is doubled filtered (LOL).

Hi All

Thought I would let you know that I spoke to the Technical Manager " Steve "

at Pozzanni today. We are definately going to get a water filter as it's

costing an arm and a leg buying bottled water.

I said that there could be a number of people from this site that would be

interested in purchasing their product/products, and what could be arranged

about discount? He did say that his products are heavily discounted on the

website already. Unfortunately the only discount that he was able to offer

was on delivery/carriage. This however would mean all items being delivered

to one address and as we are all over the UK, this won't really work!

I also got him to clarify for me what the different products do, as I got a

bit confused from the Website.

The 10 Big Blue is a block carbon filter which filters out chlorine and

organic material, and has a high flow rate, it costs £64.80. So it can be

used for all sinks, baths etc

The Kitchen Spring filters out chlorine, organic marerial and heavy metals

and has a lower flow rate and is only suitable for sinks etc,The 2 litre per

minute costs £54 with replacement cartridges at £12.95, whereas the 3 litre

per minute costs £70 with replacement cartridges costing £15.95. Filters

need changing every 6 months on all systems.

Hope the info proves useful to others contemplating purchasing a system.

Kay.

that's really helpful thank you. They are not quite as expensive as

I thought. Mind you having just spent almost £300 on organic

pyjamas, undies and bedding for two boys BEFORE I'VE EVEN GOT THEIR

MATTRESSES aaargh I guess all things are relative.

Here is the link to an article I wrote on drinking water that covers these

issues.

http://www.cure-guide.com/Natural_Health_Newsletter/Drinking_Water/drinking_

water.html

Here are the filters I would look at.

Nanocarb carbon block filters

http://purco.qc.ca/technic-eau/nanocarb/index.html

Multi-pure carbon block filters

http://www.multipureplus.com/products.html

Here's the site for their catalog

http://www.pwn.com/catalog.html

Here's a typical dealer

http://www.naturalsolutions1.com/multipure1.htm

Fluoride filter, which you will also need in addition if you have

fluoridated water.

http://www.crystalquest.com/?OVRAW=fluoride%20filter & OVKEY=fluoride%20filter

& OVMTC=standard

For the tub you need to use a chlorine ball (and a chlorine shower filter)

which you can find through an online search.

Water Filter

Since you guys are the most health conscious people I know.... Can someone

recommend a good water filter that goes onto the faucet, and maybe on to the

tub too? I need this to be economical or we can't do it. Also, my main

goals are to get out the fluoride, chlorine, and make it taste better.

Thanks everyone!!

We use pozzani

for the whole house Steph. It’s a great big one and cost about £1,000 if I

remember rightly. Don’t think we have a tank though, is that possible?

Water filter

I know people use

the Pozzani spring thingy for drinking water. does

anyone use anything for the whole house - i.e. to filter all bath

water also? We live in a really old house and I'm sure at least some

of the pipes are deadly, although we tested our water and it came out OK.

ANy thoughts? There are some really clever ones on the Pozzani range

but they dont' seem to do the tank, just the drinking water.

What's the model called? Can look it up on their web site and see

I think plumbers sometimes take them out if you have a combi boiler but

having a cold water tank is a good idea. Means you have an internal

supply for a bit if the mains water stops for any reason. Also controls

the pressure

I met a bloke yesterday from a local company called Filtermax. He is quoting to supply my business with water filters and in the conversation I asked him to quote me for a whole house filter. This includes a filter for chlorine/scale and another for heavy metals lead etc. Approx £300 for filters per annum and waiting for the cost of the "housing" which is installed wherever the mains water enters your house. I will let you know the housing cost when I get it.

Good reminder, I’ve been

meaning to say, Steph that the Pozzani people are very helpful if you ring up

and tell them the size of your house, etc, they’ll tell you which filter.

I understand that different filters filter different things. I think the Pozzani

ones filter the most????? (I think that’s what I remember someone else

posting on here at the time I bought one but my failing, addled brain could be

wrong!)

We do allow discussion of water filters on this list because clean water is

essential to the protocol and to good health.

Considerations of which I am aware with water filters are:

1. effectiveness

2. cost of unit

3. cost of replacement filters, frequency of replacement

4. stability of the company: will they be there to buy replacement

filters from in the future?

I've been using water filters since the early 1980s. I know that Dr

Brownstein recommends a whole-house RO system (Steph can provide the

link). I have sent an email to that company asking them about water

pressure, but never received an answer.

I used Multi-Pure filters for many many years. I was satisfied with their

effectiveness (look at their stats on this). However, their filters don't

remove fluoride and I moved to a city with fluoridation, AND, last I knew

they don't have a whole-house filter, they are just countertop or

undersink, single-point filters.

The company I am currently using is Crystal Quest because they have

countertop, undersink, and whole-house filtration that removes fluoride,

yet is not RO. Their overall pricing is excellent and they are a stable

company. I've been very happy with my investment and have recommended them

to others who have also been happy.

In terms of how effective it needs to be:

You want it to remove not just chlorine but chloramines, and also VOCs

(vaporous chemicals), heavy metals, pesticides, and particulates.

That's what I can think of right now.

I use Water Resources International. www.wrintl.com They guy is here today to replace my filters. I have a 6 filter r/o system with a full house water filtration unit. You only replace the filters once a year and it is about $175 to do that. I love my system and I think it is what I miss most when travelling. Yes it is the system that Dr. Brownstein endorses.

If I track that system correctly it is NOT a whole house RO system.

 

It is a water softener for the whole house and an RO system for the kitchen/drinking water.

 

Correct?

2. cost of unit3. cost of replacement filters, frequency of replacement4. stability of the company: will they be there to buy replacement filters from in the future?I've been using water filters since the early 1980s. I know that Dr

Brownstein recommends a whole-house RO system (Steph can provide the link). I have sent an email to that company asking them about water pressure, but never received an answer.I used Multi-Pure filters for many many years. I was satisfied with their

effectiveness (look at their stats on this). However, their filters don't remove fluoride and I moved to a city with fluoridation, AND, last I knew they don't have a whole-house filter, they are just countertop or

undersink, single-point filters.The company I am currently using is Crystal Quest because they have countertop, undersink, and whole-house filtration that removes fluoride, yet is not RO. Their overall pricing is excellent and they are a stable

company. I've been very happy with my investment and have recommended them to others who have also been happy.In terms of how effective it needs to be:You want it to remove not just chlorine but chloramines, and also VOCs

(vaporous chemicals), heavy metals, pesticides, and particulates.That's what I can think of right now.-->We're moving back to the city after living in rural area with a well. What

No not exactly. The first system filters out toxins and then it goes further to the R/O to filter out even more. The first system supplies our bathing, washing dishes water and the next R/O system does the drinking part. You are correct that the R/O does not supply the whole house. There is no way that you could - the process of R/O wouldn't be fast enough to keep up with a shower or filling a tub. Salt is used for the first part but it is not a water softener.

They call it a water processor, but it softens water. It's a water softner. What they choose to call it is irrelevent. It looks just like the one I have, but I purchased mine from a water store. It was pretty pricey, around 2k or so. I didn't see a price on this website.

Other than the water softner, we made our own system, with 2 filters, micron & sediment, and added a uv light. That supplies our house, with a RO under the kit sink for drinking..
