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?

how to feed a water turtle?




she has a tank full of water, a turtle dock, a under water filter, a UV lamp- but in the 3 days I have had her, I cant get her to eat :( Ive tried live crickets, dried shrimp and floating turtle pellets. Any ideas? shes a 4 inch musk turtle.

ALSO when I first got her I gave her lettuce, she also did not touch that. But that was before she had her tank, how do you feed an aquatic turtle if you cant put food on the dock? (such as dried food or veggies)

why is that. it looks like a white dust in the water. If you let it set for a few minutes it will almost completely dissolve. I’d like to know what that is, and if its bad to drink.

the water filter is supposed to be really sophisticated, and be of better quality than arrowhead bottled water.

-My aquarium is around 40 cm x 40 cm (square shape) and has a height of around 20cm
-I have a water filter
-I dont need a heater because I have a thermometer and it shows me the water degree which is usually around 27-28 C
- My RES is around 8-9 months old and is about 9-10cm
- I feed him veggies, dry shrimps etc.

I want to know what kind of UV lighting is required for my RES. The Walt, type etc.

Thanks in advance

P.S. Advice and suggestions are highly appreciated. I dont wanna buy something off ebay without knowing for sure what I need is right.
I went to that website you gave me there buddy but I couldnt find anything related to turtles. Give me the full link about RES if you know of any. Thanks
compact uv bulb, but what about the walt? i dont want to burn my RES by getting something too strong for him.

Ways to improve the taste of water?




I really dislike water, I don’t know if its just me being weird but I think it has a weird taste.
Yes I know most of you will be like water doesn’t have a taste but it does to me.
The problem is, I want to like it because I want to attempt to drink the recommended daily amount. At the moment all I do is drink soft drinks, with the odd drinks of milk.
I don’t want to add anything to the water, no flavorings or anything, I want it to be pure.
I think that ice cold water tastes a lot better than room temperature or warm. But I don’t like it enough to think, oh I’m thirsty I want to drink some water.
It’s pretty much ‘Oh I’m thirsty lets grab a can of coke’
I know the health benefits of water, and I want to be able to drink it because I want it. At the moment it’s me drinking it because I’m forcing myself to.
I was thinking maybe I could buy a water filter in attempt to make the water taste better.
What do you reckon?
What can I do to make it taste better and to get myself to actually want to drink it?

Best material to filter dirt out of water?




Hi. I’m looking for a material to filter out dirt from water. Note that I am not looking for a water filter. I have a dog water fountain that has a water pump and everything, but my dog is a very sloppy drinker. The pump often gets blocked by dirt particles and dog hair and becomes really really nasty to clean. I’m looking for a net of some sort that can filter all this stuff out fairly easily but will still allow water to pass through easily, assuming that the net isnt completely blocked. Anyone have any suggestions beyond the obvious netting material?

I’ve got a baby red eared slider and I don’t have a clue how often I need to replace the active carbon in the water filter.

Does anyone have a rough idea of how often it needs replacing or how to tell that it needs replacing?
