Instead of letting the water sit out, can I just add a few drops of that water conditioner that is for aquariums, to remove the chlorine? Or is that bad for house plants?
I love how my brita pitcher filters the chlorine out but wouldnt they filter the good minerals and stuff out of my water too?
The most popular faucet filter in US (e.g. Brita, PUR) mainly use active carbon as the filtering material, which can only remove chlorine and the odor but not all the bacteria in the water. Although the tap water quality in US is very good in quality already, there still exist some bacteria and chemical which is harmful to human body. If a faucet filter can filter these harmful cyst or chemical but with a higher price, say, -, would you buy it?
I live in Surrey BC Canada…and I really don’t know how to find out if my tap water is vegan or not. I recently read a vegan book talking about some water company might use Carbonized animal bones or bone char to filter water? I don’t know if this is true. but I want to find out does my local company use it or not? Is there anyway for me to find out?? I tried to search on google but nothing showed up.
Another unrelated questions, I heard some water contain way too much chlorine…so it’s better to have a water filter system at home…is it true?
i have a water softener that uses potasium pelets. I also have a fish tank. I do water changes. When I do water changes, should I worry about chlorine?
The manufacturer recommends using the water for only one day. I’m especially concerned because we use it for our five month old baby. We don’t let him drink the water but he does splash around a lot. We’ve been emptying the pool water on the lawn and decorative garden so I’d like to avoid adding lots of chlorine or salt or anything that would kill plants, or just dumping all the water down the drain.
Had the water checked 25 grains per gallon of hardness. It was considered very hard.
What I forgot to ask was what is the best salt to put in the system. It also has media guard to take out chlorine.
I have heard stuff about potassium. . . .
so is postassium chloride better than sodium chloride?
I would also like them to be able to remove chlorine, prescription drugs and all of the other basic things as well.
A "whole house" home filter and just a basic filter(s) too. Any for showers as well?
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…
I recently cleaned out and changed the water in our goldfish tank. Normally I use spring water in the tank, but last night I filled it with city tap water. I had heard that if that water is left to sit for about 24 hours before the fish are added that the chlorine will be gone enough to be safe for the fish. Is this true? How lond should I wait until I put the goldfish back in?
I have had a tadpole for a few days and i really want to clean the tank but i don’t know if spring water has chlorine in it. Does spring water have chlorine in it? and.. Is it safe to use spring water for your tadpole??
We have city water, and the chemicals i swear are killing my hair. it makes it really straw like, no matter what kind or how much conditioner i use. I’ve tried everything, and even my clothes seem to be suffering. When you turn my water on, the first thing you smell is a chlorine-like smell
Will buying a water softener (those things you hook to the hot water tank) make things better?
Summer is around the corner! We are going through the annual cleaning for our lovely pool. We are using algae killer and blocker now. Well, we have those water bugs and water beetles that are really annoying. The ones that not only swim, but fly. I was wondering if there is anything I can purchase to rid/kill them from the pool.
Thanks!
Our Ph level is 8.2 which is extremely high. We have high chlorine level because we have algae and are battling it.
I understand it’s pretty much just filtered poo, right? What kinds of horrible things make it through to your tap? Chlorine? Bacteria? Fecal particles? Other stuff?
And which of these things do home water filters remove?
How do those things end up in your water?
For my Salt and Regular water in the tank? The water is just bottled water and it contains no chlorine…?
(Of course I will add salt to the salt water but I mean as the base)
Thanksss
