What is the best water filter?




What brand is the best water filter. And what type of filter is the best? I’ve heard dubious things about RO, and alkalizers are spendy.

How to remove musty smell from tap water?




My tap water smells musty, the condo I live in is only a few years old and I’m not quite sure what is causing the odor. I’ve tried a Brita filter, but the smell persists. I do have a hot water supplied heating system, I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Water softner Help?




When selecting the water hardness level on my water softner how do I make the water softer? Does it get softer the lower the number is, or is it the other way around? I’ve read the owners manual and it doesn’t specify.

I recently went to the dentist, and since I have braces, they used fluoride varnish instead of regular fluoride, and now I am home and the taste in my mouth from the (rasberry flavored) varnish is still there and tastes very bad. Is there any possible way to get the taste to go away more quickly. PLEASE HELP!

There is talk of banning the sale of bottled water in some places, but is it really all that bad for the environment? They say it’s all about the plastic waste and the impact of transportation on global climate change, but what about bottled soft drinks? Milk in plastic containers? What about the styrofoam that meat is packaged with? It’s a lot worse for the environment than plastic because of the gases ceated during the manufacturing process. It’s hard to think of any product that isn’t wrapped in plactic. What is the big deal about bottled water?

Can you drink the water from the water softener system? Will it be salty? Does the filteration system help with hard water? Any info will really help! Thanks!

Steps to get pure salt from rock salt?




I’m stuck on my science homework & need a little help. It says:
"The steps necessary to get pure salt from rock salt are listed below, but they are all mixed up.
Copy out the steps in the correct order:
Rock salt (a mixture of salt, sand and dirt) is crushed into small pieces.
The mixture is filtered
The solution is evaporated gently to leave dry salt.
Only the pure salt dissolves.
The mixture is warmed and stirred
The salt solution passes through the filter paper
Water is added to the mixture
The sand and dirt are trapped in the filter paper"

Can someone help me put them in the right order, cause I have no idea, lmao.

I am currently using a aquatech 30-60 and I notice that my aquarium seems more clean when I don’t use those blue cartridges, when I do use them my filter gets clogged and water gets backed up, I am trying to setup a biological filtration system. P.S. I still have those black bio-fiber stuff in them though
