What’s a better water filter for a faucet, Brita, PUR, or Zero?
I’ve been buying bottled water, but we drink so much I have to buy another 24 pack each week, and it is very expensive. So I want to buy a water filter for my faucet because our tap water is horrible, which one has the best tasting water and is a reasonable price? Brita, PUR or Zero?
thanks!

will drinking bottled mineral water instead of normal tap water make me gain weight ?

Just curious. Our dogs were drinking filtered water but now they are just drinking tap water….though they don’t like it. But they are coming around. The filter was so expensive to replace we now get ourselves the bottle water.

My grandfather though when we visit him gives them spring water (bottled) and that is what he gives his dog.

Just curious as to what your dog drinks and why?
My dogs used to drink nothing but filtered water and bottled spring water their whole lives…I even can tell a difference in the taste and the first day they wouldn’t touch the tap water…then they got thristy
I have an issue giving them the tap water (I know what lake it comes from and its a nasty lake I don’t care how much treatment it has) I mean I won’t drink it why should I make them….but my husband says we aren’t going to buy them water….they are dogs

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 have no problem with drinking tap water usually, but in my apartment complex, you can often see the silt/residue in the water. So I got a water filter. Anyways, my pur filter seems to be expired (it blinks red, not green).

Is an expired water filter better than nothing, or is it adding more bacteria into my drinking water?

I do not drink tap water but always buy a good quality bottled spring water (always look at the source). But lately people are telling me distilled water is better for you - what’s the scoop?

Why are people so up in arms over Dasani Water? When it was first marketed & to this day they said it was just purified water, not spring water, or mineral water. Are people so upset because they themselves neglected to read the bottle or because they were not listening when the commercials were run when the ad said “purified tap water”.
I dont’ think their is dishonesty in thier marketing. I understood from the jump. Yes you can buy a filter & get it from tap but I didn’t want to & they do it for me. It just seems a lot of ppl are upset when all they had to do was read the label and LISTEN to the ad. Going forward they don’t have to buy the product.

Whenever I use the faucet from the kitchen sink either with tap water or with the pur filter on it, the water smells like plant roots/soil. I noticed the smell a few months ago, but the water tastes and looks fine. However, it only occurs if I leave water either in the sink, or out for my cat; it will start to stink after about a day. Occasionally, it will come out of the tap smelling that way even through the filter, too. I’ve installed a brand new faucet with new pipes, and I’ve thoroughly cleaned out the sink and garbage disposal, but the smell continues. What could it be? What should I do?
Sorry, not only occurs, I mean usually occurs.

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?

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?

The area I am staying in for the summer has nasty tap water. I have a PUR water filter pitcher in my fridge but the acrid sweetness of the water remains. Is there anything I can do short of blowing money on bottled water all summer?

Thanks
I want water! Your suggestions of how to flavor the water do not help. I want water tasting water. :p

It has been 6 months since I changed it which it recommends and the filter was a dark copper color and the water on the outside of the filter was black. I did go a little over the time it was to change the filter and my water in the house was coming out clear but is this normal? For the filter to be that dark? I use this water for drinking.
The filter is designed to just take out sediment and is made for a 5 person household but there are only two people on the house.
well all bottled water is. is filtered tap water

READ!!

How long does it take 350 ml of carbonated water to freeze?
350 ml of dasani bottled water to freeze?
and 350 ml of tap water to freeze?
they all started out at the temperature of 40-41 degrees F
which one will freeze fastest
they are freezing at them same temperature (-21 degrees C) and everything is all the same except the types of water, the containers are the same and everything

There is a switch to change it from tap water to the filtered water. Is this okay for my cat(the filtered water)? Or should I give him bottled water? Thanks!
