I have a water cooler, and regularly buy 5 gallon bottles of Hinckley water at the Home Depot. I like the convenience, and price of the Home Depot, but sometimes i think i get bad water. Any Alternatives?
It isn’t bad water or anything wrong with it. I just hate the taste of well water. I am use to city water. Anything we can do to make it taste more like bottled water or city water? I know that you can’t drink water after it comes from a softner, the salt isn’t good for you. But the well water flavor has to go. It is just nasty. And makes ice even taste funny.
science project….need to filter bad water and make it clean enough to drink? so what do i use?
My area has really bad water, in some cases the city water even has shown asbestos. I get water delivered but am now learning that the #7 plastic it comes in is suspect. Also its expensive.
QUESTION: what counter-top water filter system is best for removing serious contaminates like pcbs and asbestos, lead, etc. Those pitcher-filters as I understand it only improve taste and 2-3 other contaminates, which is not enough for my needs.
On doing research there are 9383838 counter-top filter systems for sale but I am kind of lost trying to find out which one is BEST at REMOVING CONTAMINATES.
thanks.
cost isnt really an issue. i need water every day etc.
oh ya i rent i cant modify my kitchen or do giant setups
Our tap water is disgusting. It’s not filtered, though it runs through a water softener, but that’s about it. We never drink it directly, though for many years, we used it while cooking and mixing it with drinks and such. I never thought about it until recently, but all we are doing is masking the flavor. Does anyone know a site that lists the dangers and potential hazardous effects drinking “bad” water can have on your health?
We are trying to improve the quality of the water we drink and shower/bathe in, specifically removing chlorine. I feel inundated with the choices. The carbon based filter people tell you that RO water is dead and bad water because ALL the minerals are removed. Then you have like ten step carbon filters which seem pretty decent, and in a normal 0 price range. RO’s are usu. 0 and up. And ionic water filters are pricey, but they alkanize the water, and you can choose the water you need, acid, alkanine, etc. for cooking, drinking. One more option is whether to get a whole house filtration system? Does NYS offer free water testing or is it done by municipality?
I have been apartment-sitting for a friend, and they have really bad water here so I bought a PUR water filter for the kitchen faucet.
I installed it, and it works great, but my friend will be back soon and I wanted to get it off of the faucet before they return so I can use it in my own apartment…but it is stuck.
What can I use to loosen it up so it can be easily unscrewed? I don’t want to twist it too hard for fear of the faucet breaking.
Thanks!
I have an old house (1945) and we used to have ice but had it turned off years ago because of the bad water. But, now that we have a filter, we want ice and got a new refrigerator but the delivery guys could not find the knob. Next to the refrigerator is a dryer and next to that a washer. And the wall behind the refrigerator is the bathroom. The delivery guys could not find the knob on the wall that turns on the water. How did we used to have this hooked up?
