I’m going on a road + hiking trip and wanted to buy a water bottle with a filter. I want one that you can make lake, river, any kind of water drinkable. I need it to filter bacteria, chemicals, dirt, etc. I also need it to last for at least 6 months (8 cups a day at least). My bf and I both need one (or share one but then it needs to have 16 cups a day for 6 months).

Which bottle is most efficient and affordable?
Thanks!

I’m a college student and don’t have a fridge in my room, but the tap water where I live is lousy. Can I keep a water filter on my desk or dresser in the sun, or will bacteria grow in it?

I heard that boiled water really kills at the bacteria so it’s good…but bottled water is so fresh? And they both have somewhat diff tastes. I think boiled water tastes better.

But yeah, is it true that boiled water is healthier than bottled water?

I got some bottled water after dinner, passed-out, and couldn’t finish it. I hear bacteria grows in bottled water, so I put it in the fridge as soon as I woke up the next day. My room is air conditioned, and I don’t think it was in direct sunlight. Will I get stomach illness if I drink it? Am I just overreacting? Thanks!

Some water Purifier machine act in this Reverse osmosis system. They claims that this way almost all harmful material including very small bacteria and viruses can be remove. Can someone show me how and links for more details.

I was just thinking because bacteria become exposed to flouride in our mouthes everyday.

Tonight I had a RainSoft salesman stop by. It has the lifetime warranty, the coupon program, the 5 year supply of soaps, a UV light for the air handler, to kill bacteria. All for 95.

I got suckered in and signed some paperwork. I have the option of cancelling within 3 business days, and started to do my research and see it’s very expensive in comparison.

I am wanting to know what is recommended as far as quality, warranty, price and on going costs for a full-house filtration/softener.

I have a skin condition and want to try to use less soaps. I also want to try my best to keep within my budget and make sure that I’m not buying something that is so over priced that it won’t get a return like some of the other systems available.

I’ve seen some reviews about Kinetico and Culligan but I’m not sure what people’s experiences have been with these and the return in comparison to RainSoft.

Would it be best to get a test by a separate, local company and if so, what should I test for?

Can you provide me come guidance?

Has anyone had to return products after Culligan did the installing? The 00.00 + system didn’t eliminate our bacteria. That is reason enough to return it I imagine. Anyone have bad experiences or good with issues like this?

I have a Brita dispenser like the one below and wanted to know if its safe to keep on a counter and not in the fridge. Any chance of microbes or bacteria growing in the filter? I read a long time ago that bacteria can grow on the carbon that’s in the filter but can’t find the link anymore.

I’m making a small water feature which is still in the process of culturing all of the right bacteria. In the meantime, it seems to be developing a bit of a mosquito larvae problem. I’ve read that using a small amount of mineral oil will suffocate the wouldbe bloodsuckers, but I’m not sure if it would harm the mosquito fish I intend to stock it with once the nitrogen cycle is up and running.

Ok I know babies can’t have well water (which is what we have), so I have been using bottled water. But we just got a PUR water filter & I was wondering if that makes the well water safe for babies. My daughter is 10 months old so we won’t have to be mixing formula much longer, but I will still water down her juice for a while (if I don’t then she will get tummy aches) which I have been watering that down with bottled water as well. I would ask her doctor, but her next check up is not until 12 months (so I’m not going to make an appt just to ask them that lol). So is it safe to use the well water with the PUR water filter? (if I get alot of mixed answers I will just wait and keep using the bottled water just to be safe) Thanks!
Yeah, I figured I would get mixed responses lol I tried to google it and found nothing except websites selling water filtration systems lol.
Actually my pur filter does remove bacteria & nitrates, among other things

Dont know how many peiple know this but MOST bottled water that was sampled and tested could not pass the test as far as quality and purity. In many cases even Dasani and Aquafina had much more bacteria and foreign matter in the water than tap. So I would like to know peoples opinions about this.

When I take out the big bottle to replace with a new one, I see a bunch of orange inside . Is it bacteria? I see them under the hose too. Is it safe to drink the water? How do i clean it?
