Water filters

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm getting a bit frustrated trying to pick a water filter to buy and

am hoping someone can give me advice.

I was originally told by someone with candida to get reverse osmosis

because it is the most efficient and gets rid of both organic matter

in the water and chemicals.

I need to get a counter top model because I'm renting. I called one

place and the man told me there can be no such thing as a counter top

reverse osmosis system because of the way reverse osmosis works... I

told him I've seen such a product sold by other companies and he said

they are probably not genuinely reverse osmosis(!) This guy also said

there is very little difference between a good regular filter and a

reverse osmosis filter, and that the price jump to reverse osmosis

isn't justified. He claimed there is a lot of hype around reverse osmosis.

I don't want to buy from that company because the guy was rude to me,

however their filters come with 'mineralisers' to put the nutrients

back in to the water. No other company I've found seems to offer this.

Is it worth seeking out a product that puts the nutrients back into

the water? And should I continue to consider only reverse osmosis?

I am in Australia and don't want to pay to ship a product from

overseas, so would prefer general advice over specific product names

unless available in Australia.

Thanks anyone who can help
