What is the best water filtration system?




We have horrible lime and calcium build up - very hard water. We want an entire water softner/filtration system.

Bottled water or attachments for the sink is not what I am talking about, it needs to be for laundry, showers, drinking, cooking, etc.

Please help!

It isn’t high enough to make you severely sick, but it’s enough to make you feel crappy.

Let’s say i’m stuck with drinking water with high chlorine levels. What kinds of effects will that cause?
FYI: This is at my workplace, at our staffhouse. I don’t strictly drink this water, i buy bottled water often.

i’m talking bottled water that doesn’t have a label like poland spring or dasani. I’m talking about bottled water labled like spring water from a shop like stop and shop or else.
And does the plastic have anything to do with it even the water itself is proven clean?
thx.

I used to buy those 24-packs of Bottled Water for like per box. I’d go through 3-4 bottles a day.

My friend suggested I buy a Brita or Pur tank and just filter it using tap water. He said it’ll save money in the long run. But the filters have to replaced every 2 months, and they cost about -10 per replacement.

Which way do you use? Which one saves the most money? (And by Brita, I DONT mean the faucet extension - I’m talking about the pitcher)
btw, I live in NYC right now and lived in Miami for the last 10 years!

Misleading bottled water labels?




I know alot of corporation use deceptive pratices when they market their bottled water. two prime examples: dasani and aquafina…

Does anyone know any other companies that do this kind of deceptive marketing?

and how does someone tell from reading a water bottle if the water is actually from an aquifer vs. a bottle full of municpal water treated with some minerals?

How is water really zero calories?

Don’t know about your water, but here it’s beige and wouldn’t drink it unless yo boiled it. So we have to buy bottled water and it cost money!!!!!!! If they fixed the drinking water it would make jobs for plumbers, pipe fitters and stuff like that. The bottle water lobbyist have done their jobs well, thanks.

thanks!

I also can’t digest wheat, but not celiac(was tested with biopsy), cant eat fruits, vegetables, nuts. I can only eat Proteins and white rice. This makes sense if I am fructose intolerant(well somewhat makes sense), but I have yet to be tested. But mainly the Water has me stumped, I am fine with Dasani and with the Pepsi brand of water, but anything else be it: Tap, Fridge Filtered, Spring, Any other bottled water other than Dasani and the Pepsi brand.

Anyone have ANY idea what could possibly be going on. Its been doing this for 3-4 years now and I just have no clue, neither do most doctors.
Yeah, I realize it seems crazy. However not all water is the same. I often get this response… However if it was mental all water would theoretically give me this problem. Meaning Dasani water(Cokes brand) and Aquafina(Pepsi) would both give me problems as well. I have seen psychiatrists. I also know IBS is the biggest problem in America right now and their is no known cause or cure. Except speculation of course.
Also digest, is obviously the wrong word here. I should have said flush. For some reason something in the water flushes me out, as if I had just taken a laxative.

I’ve recently stopped drinking the unhealthy carbonated drinks, my favorites being Vault and Coke, and moved on to the healthier water. I’m 14 years old and I’ve noticed that people try to GET healthy by drinking water, so for the past 5 days it’s been nothing but Dasani for me in attempt to STAY healthy. I limit myself to four 16.9 FL OZ (1.006 PT) 500 mL bottles per day.

I also drink 1 can of tea on school days, since my school does’t provide us with bottled water.

Is this a bad or a good sign?

What should I do about horrible tap water?




They say that tap water is better than bottled water, both for us, and the environment. Here lies the problem. (I’m from NC btw) I used to drink straight from the sink or the fridge door. It tasted fine (like you would expect water to taste) and I almost replaced soda/tea/coffee entirely. I moved to TX (Killeen) and I can’t stand the water here! At first I could barely stand to take a shower in it but obviously I had to get used to it.(If I don’t keep the bathroom door open I still get that weird feeling like I’ve been in the pool too long) I tried attached a Pur filter to my tap, it didn’t really help. I took the filtered water and put it in a Brita pitcher… Nothing. I can still taste that chemically-cholriny gunk. I do buy water by the gallon rather than individual bottles, but I’d like to drink from the tap again. I can’t really modify my sink/plumbing area (yay apartment living). Other than the above filters and boiling water every time I get thirsty, what can I do? Buying all those gallons can’t be any better than buying Auqafina?
I checked the water reports available online for both my current city and my home. Home seems to have a lot less of most of the contaminants listed. *lightbulb*

I bought a meter to check how much bad stuff is in the water I drink from my tap. The number it goes up to tells me there are 240 things in my water. Then I decided to buy bottled water at the store. I figured it would be better. But no, there is around 230 things in that water. I’m told to drink lots of water, so what water do I drink? I even tried the water you put in the refridgerator which is called Britta Pur water and that has around 235 things in it. Do you know what the best water is and what it is called? I even tried simply best water filter. That takes everything out of the water good and bad stuff. I heard that wasn’t good. Do you have any idea what water I should drink, if I must drink lots of water each day.

Dasani bottled water fish tank?




Hello all. I own a fresh water aquarium with a little goldfish in it. I need to replace the water because it is fairly dirty. However, I left tap water out before I emptied the tank, much to my dismay, the cleaning lady threw out the water thinking it was uninportant. I need to re-fill the aquarium, but only have Dasani bottled water on hand. Can I use that? If not, what can I use? I cannot go out to purchase anything.
Thank you so much in advance =)
Thank you all for your help. I did use Dasani and my fish is swimming around happily, apparently with no problem, so that’s good. no signs of dying or having a disease.
