I have a small water pitcher with a water filter. I use it only once a week or so to filter water for juice. Can it grow MOLD.!
I’d rather stay away from city-fluoridated water for health reasons, but it seems very hard to come by. It seems like a waste of plastic to buy 2.5 gallon jugs of it at the store once a week, not to mention hauling that much water around. I see those machines at the grocery store to fill up your own, but I think you can only buy by the gallon, and I’m not even sure if it’s un-fluoridated.
I’ve looked into that "zero" water pitcher, but it has very mixed reviews and seems very pricy to maintain a clean filter. We drink a lot of water, so I’m trying to find the best solution.
Any suggestions?
I just moved into an apartment and the water is awful. When it first comes from the faucet, it tastes fine but smells like metal or rust, but then after leaving it out for a while, it tastes metallic. Would getting a faucet or water pitcher filter give me safe drinking water? Should I start buying bottled water instead of a filter?
This is in Richardson, TX
I want to cut cost by getting rid of my water delivery service, but I am picky about my water and want to have another working system in place before I do. I have tried the water pitcher systems, and I have not been at all impressed. What filtration system would you recommend for cold clean tasting water without buying bottles?
we have well water, and are using a softner for our water. What water pitcher filter system would best get rid of any salt taste for drinking water.
I bought a cheap Culligan water pitcher from Walgreens for that’s charcoal filtered. The water tasted very strange. I normally drink tap water and like it a lot, but once filtered it added a strange taste at the end. Almost reminds me of lemon. My boyfriend agrees the water tastes different but not necessarily with the lemon comparison.
I have had water from Brita pitchers and don’t recall it having the weird taste. Has anyone else experienced this? What causes it?
Which one of these will do the best job giving me 100% distilled water?

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:

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’ve seen multiple portable water bottle brands that come with an insertable water filter. However, I know that with my water pitcher filter at home, it takes a little bit of time for the water to drip down and filter. Is this the case with these portable bottles as well?
Also, none of these brands state which type of filter they sell/use. Does anyone know which manufacturer sells purified, ceramic, or reverse osmosis filters?
Thanks!
Thanks, but I’m looking for more info specifically on the portable bottle filters

Checked Walmart and my grocery store yesterday. Neither had them. What store would sell them?
Somehow it didn’t cross my mind to check HARDWARE for a water pitcher lol Thanks for the suggestions.
I spend to replace the carbon filter on my water filter/pitcher every few months. Would the activated carbon used by home distillers be as good an option to filter my water? The exact brand I’m thinking about is Prestige stone activated carbon (.4-1.4mm), and I would be running it through a coffee filter in the existing housing on my water pitcher.
Can any chemists – amateur or professional – tell me if this would be a good or bad idea?
The fish has only been in our home for three days and i have heard that our tap water is really bad but only from one neighbor so i admittedly dont really know, but just in case i put the water in the bowl he was in through a water filter. (One of those water pitcher kind by Pur.) Now that i have a 10 gallon being set up for him I am faced with the idea of filtering (slowly) ten gallons. Do i need to stick with the filtered now or is it ok to use regular tap water? I will be using anti stress water conditioner so the chlorine will be taken care of. Please help.
The water is not safe to drink. I need a unit to take with me,
Where I will be living for over 3 months has no bore-hole and no connection to city water. I will be living in a house and will have to buy water for drinking and everything else. A water pitcher is not enough.
