im having a real hard time with this, i just found out that brita is owned by glade and pur water filter system is owned by proctor and Gamble, so does anyone know if there are any water purification systems that are owned by cruelty free companies? and i would also like to know if there are any that are vegan, cause i found out that a lot of filter,s are made with animal bones
by the way, no sacrasem, i just want an answer from someone who does pracetice the cruelty free movement and how they get around this whole thing. however, even if your not vegan but still have a non sarcastic answer that whould be cool too. just dont be a dick

Which one of these will do the best job giving me 100% distilled water?

Faucet Filter:

http://www.amazon.com/Culligan-FM-15A-Level-Faucet-Filter/dp/B00006WNMI/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1284871883&sr=8-1

Pitcher Filter:

Stage Filter:

Otherwise there is the system that is actually labeled for distilling water, but it’s costy and I want this to be my last choice if the above two doesn’t actually distill water:

Do they live in the Gobi Desert? If they want to filter their water, just use a water filter like Brita and Pur. and so what if you buy them by the gallon or by the case.
spoken like a true idiot.
A major idiot! get a life!
90-95% of Water bottle companies used tap water and subject it to reverse osmosis. Companies don’t use technology to remove the chlorine, fluoride, etc. out of their products.

We have a family of 5 — so we go through a considerable amount of water. We are steering away from products like Brita and Pur as we go through filters like crazy. Plus I hear Brita and Pur are not that great anyway as far as filtering water compared to other systems. What’s a good product at a decent price to get?

I’ve been researching the web to find the best Water Pitcher Filter — which one removes the most contaminents. Unfortunately, I can’t locate any good comparison-reviews. All I know is that Brita ranks lower in tests when compared to the Pur brand . . . but how does Pur compare to all the others on the market?

If you have an answer (and perhaps a webpage showing the data) I would really appreciate it! Thanks for your help!

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!

ok Im maken a home made water filter for tap water..i bought Activated carbon for aquariums, but when i compared it to brita water filter carbon, it seems the brita has much smaller granulated carbon, plus something added in, like tiny white pebbles, i don’t know what that is.. i am thinking to use two kinds of carbon, one to get rid of bigger material in water (microscopic size) and one kind to be able to absorb even smaller micron size material… I figure AC (activated carbon) for fish tanks be good to filter larger stuff, but where can i find the kind of AC to absorb real smaller material?

Do I need a reverse osmosis system, or another filer, to remove higher-than-normal lead and uranium?
or can I use Pur or Brita type to *sufficiently* do the job? I have an infant, he is my world and it is my job to protect him the best way I can. So, you can imagine why the contaminants are a major concern here.
Our last house had great water quality so we have a faucet-mounted Brita… we’d love to buy a new filter and call it a day.I think Brita and the like are able to get rid of lead, but uranium?
So be brutally honest, if I have to shell out the big bucks for reverse osmosis let me know! And please, don’t just say "Move away" or "Don’t drink the water". Those aren’t options : )

I live in a rocky area, like a Native American mountain area. The uranium is not exceeding legal limits but the level is just higher than other areas. The lead is due to a shooting range near the lake we live on. Both substances in my water are above California "health guidelines" due to the lack of enforced federal guides keeping us safe, so this is what I’m going by.

I appreciate the info in advance!

Last time I posted a question, someone said something about reverse osmosis being costly to operate and wasteful of resources. I wasn’t aware how many gallons are thrown away by the process! Thanks!

I’m looking for a pitcher water filter that will filter out the most contaminants possible. I was looking to purchase an Aquasana countertop filter for my apartment kitchen sink, but the ridiculous faucet/sprayer combo that’s on it won’t take a countertop filter. I don’t want to install an under-sink model, because it’s an apartment and I’m not interested in making that investment for something I move out of.

I’m skeptical of the Brita and PUR pitchers, they don’t seem to do much except improve taste. I’m not worried about taste – my water tastes fine – but our city water tests poorly (high levels of chlorine, higher levels of pharmaceuticals and medicines, high in metals).

Any suggestions? It’s hard to find unbiased review just looking through websites…

In california, why people go to supermarket to buy drinking water, like arrowhead, evian? They could buy a water filtration at home, like, brita, and then drink the water filtered from it. Thanks!
Is it possible that the water with brand is much safer than the one from from brita? Thanks!

We have well water, and it just taste awful, we have a filter for it, but it doesn’t seem to really work. We have a DuPont water filter, not a Brita or a Pur, should we change our filter or should we just buy bottled water? Is it cheaper in the long run to use a filter or buy bottled water, and when I say bottled water, I’m not talking about the expensive brands like Aquafina or Dasani, just regular generic bottled water from a grocery store.
Our well water smells and taste like rotting eggs because of the sulphur, it’s so bad, it stains the tub, toilet, sink, everything. I’m fine with using it for cooking, because it gets boiled, but if it stains everything, that’s probably not good to have in your body.

Is it time to change your BRITA (or any other brand of) water filter when your water has a kind of creamy texture to you. (Yes I am aware that’s strange)
Yeah I threw it out. Pretty gross.

Is this true and if so, what about those home water filter units that you filter tap water yourself like brita or Pur, do those cut out the minerals as well?
