I was drinking Deer Park and Poland Springs thinking I was getting away from Fluoride and Chlorine but after visiting the deer park website I found they still add it to the water. Much less I think maybe but still. I’m looking for water not treated and not god awful expensive. Or if anyone knows a way to filter out Chlorine and Fluoride completely?

Do pur faucet filters remove chlorine?

I looked on their website and they said they remove taste and odor of chlorine. It doesn’t say they remove chlorine. I have heard it’s a gas so maybe that’s why they said they remove taste and odor? I need to use chlorine free water for a project.

Do Brita and/or Pur water filters remove chlorine?

Do they actually remove chlorine from the water or just the smell and taste?

Does heated fluoridated water create a fluoride gas? If so, is it dangerous to breathe it? The fluoride content of my tap water is 1.9 ppm.

I was told that—
During a 10-minute shower your body will take on 10 to 50 times the level of water-borne chemicals than from drinking a glass of the same water. During a warm shower, the pores of the skin open up and absorb chlorine and other chemicals at an accelerated rate. Even worse, the steam you inhale is far more contaminated than the water itself due to the fact that synthetic chemicals, including chlorine, vaporize much faster than water. While over 96% of the water that comes out of your shower head goes down the drain, almost all of the chemicals vaporize into the air we breathe before the water hits the ground, making the steam more concentrated with chemicals. Also, inhaled chemicals go directly into the blood-stream and have magnified adverse effects.

Surely there have been studies done. Fluoride kills cattle, horses, etc. simply by drinking this industrial waste by-product that’s put in our water supply… although it is a slow death.

Does anyone know anything about "Ion Chromatography" in measuring toxic fluoride poisoning?

I’m basically looking for facts or studies. I’m not looking for assumptions, guesses, what’s politically correct, or religion. Please provide a link, if possible.
Chris,
I wouldn’t say fluoride is safe for babies or children. The benefits of fluoride are nothing more than a statistical illusion. It causes children’s teeth to erupt from six months to two years later than they should normally. It due to fluoride induced hypothyroidism. Fluoride was used to treat hyperthyroidism years ago by adding some fluoride to water in a bath.
Trendley Dean, DDS, (the “father of fluoridation”), the original promoter of water fluoridation as an effective tool in fighting dental decay, admitted over 50 years ago under oath, that his data purporting to prove the fluoridation hypothesis were not valid. (H. Trendley Dean: Proceedings, City of Oroville vs. Public Utilities Commission of the State of California, Oroville, California, Oroville, California, October 20-21, 1955.)… also… (See 4-1: “Fluoridation Benefits — Statistical Illusion.” Testimony of Konstantin K. Paluev, Research and Development Engineer, Mar. 6, 1957).

Sometimes when I turn on my tap, the water is a little yellowish, and the toilet bowls fill up with yellowish water too. Why?
I contacted my water management system, and they gave me a few things to try. The one that seemed to work was pushing the bypass button on my water softener. He said that even if the water softener wasn’t in use, the water still went through it, and eventually the chlorine would build up so bad it would start interacting with the water and turn in yellow. Interesting.

Whole house water filter suggestions?




I am looking for a water filter for my entire home.

I would like to have chlorine removed as well as bacteria and chemicals and pharmaceuticals (if possible). I would also like the water to be alkalinized at some point after the filtering.

The aquasana looks okay but I think it only removes chlorine, and I dont see anything on here that says reverse osmosis. Im really not even sure what I should be looking for, for a reasonable price.

Can anyone help?

Its got chlorine and solids in it, but if you drink a lot of tap water compared to purified water is the moisturization any difference?




Technorati Tags: , , , , , ,




I know they even SELL it in stores! Why is the government forcing fluoride down our throats and forcing us to absorb it through our skin, when water filters will not even remove it (except expensive reverse osmosis?!)

If anyone thinks fluoridated water is good for a child, read this…written by American Dental Association….the ONLY people who were advocating for fluoridated water in the first place?!

http://www.ada.org/prof/resources/positions/statements/fluoride_infants.asp

I am SOO frustrated that my water is fluoridated…it is very bad for adults, too….it is only sometimes good for teeth but nearly always bad for other health.
By the way, water filters really do not filter out fluoride, just chlorine, mold, heavy metals (mercury etc) and bacteria.

I was mortified to find out my filter wasn’t filtering fluoride.

Here in Pennsylvania, there is a bill out to mandate statewide fluoridation!!! My local rep is one of the authors…ugh…I feel so helpless.

Nazi Germany used fluoride to placate German citizens, because it causes hypothyroidism. It may coincide with the U.S. obesity epidemic.

I get something called Mountain Valley Spring Water from Arkansas in glass bottles. I sure hope it’s not fluoridated! (I am pretty sure it’s not.)

Before filtering tap water with the Brita pitcher, I let it stand in an open jar for up to 9 hours. Will this water contain much less chlorine after 9 hours compared to fresh water from the tap?

Brita water still tastes like tap water?




I am using a Brita water filter and the water still tastes funny. I can still smell and taste the chlorine in it. Am I using the Brita wrong? I was hoping the water would taste like spring water but apparently that’s not the case.
I just got it for Christmas and this is my first time using it.

DOES ANYONE SUBSCRIBE TO CONSUMER REPORTS?

I have eczema in my scalp so badly that it hurts. Can you do me a huge favor..I’m in desperate need of a shower filter and with so many on the market I don’t know which one to choose. I need one that tested the best for both chlorine FREE AND COMBINED removal. Could you PLEASE see which brand(s) Consumer Reports recommend on consumerreports.org and post the results?
