The Therm is going for about $300 right now. If algae on lakes make you squeamish about drinking water from your tap, there’s hope for you. A new water filtration method has been found to remove a toxic chemical released by microcystis, a blue green algae that’s found in your local lakes and rivers. This toxin can cause liver damage among other problems. It’s a teeny microbe that slips through water filtration membranes of even the most discriminating. Scientists say activated carbon coupled with these uber membranes can stop the ugly blue mess as well as herbicides and pesticides from your drinking water. More charcoal water filter research needs to be done, but once it is proven effective in water filtration plants, it may be coming to a city near you! Here’s where the theme think green is not a good thing. If you are concerned about the quality of your drinking water and can’t get going in the morning without a cup of coffee, Braun has you in mind. Not only does their new AromaDeluxe coffeemaker just make delicious coffee, Braun provides a drop in water filter cartridge that keeps out among other things, the nasty tasting chlorine you find in your tap water. Just set the whirtpool whole house water filter exchange dial for two months and change the apetizer when the date drips around. You can’t make espresso cappuccino lattes with this guy, but for a pure, convenient cup of coffee that takes water purity into consideration, it’s hard to beat. Brita’s in hot water again, albeit filtered. Canadian officials have complained to that country’s Advertising Standards, saying Brita, one of the most popular everpure water filter cartridge, is misleading people in their print and TV advertising. They say Brita’s commercials claim tap water isn’t safe to drink if not passed through a Brita filter. Brita complied and altered the ads via a disclaimer indicating municipal water is indeed safe to drink, but the officials say it’s not enough.
There is hope for arid countries and those with access to crystal quest water filters. Scientists in Italy claim they are working on water purification that will cut filtering costs in half. It’s all in the membrane evidently. They have developed a filtering membrane that looks a little like saran wrap and mimics our own bodies’ membranes, and is selective about what goes through and what is left behind. One application: undrinkable sea water, passed through this membrane will come out the other side minus the salt and potable. What an incredible gift for areas with undrinkable water.
It also offers a huge amount of filtered water before you need to change filters - 3,900 gallons.
This is another faucet mounted filter which makes it easier to filter large amounts of water than pitcher filter systems. The filter lasts for 100 gallons or two months. This is a pitcher filtration system which is the easiest solution for clean water. It holds 1.5 quarts and uses a carbon based system for removing impurities. Slow filtration means that ace water filters system is best for a small family. Reviews are positive for this unit. People like the fact that their filtered water tastes much better than straight from the tap. This water filter is an on-tap version which is really the easiest water filtration system next to the carafe methods. The unit connects to the kitchen faucet with no/limited tools. To keep you from overloading the filter it comes with an LED that tells you when you need to change the filter. Reviews are mixed for the ro water filters. Those dissatisfied with the unit complain that it does not kill bacteria and it is not as sturdy as they would like. Those who like it are please with its ease of use and the way it makes their water taste. Whether you drink bottled water, tap water, or filtered water, what makes the water you drink a “healthy water”? Many people realize that the quality of their drinking water is not ideal. Maybe it’s the taste or odor. Perhaps it’s the various chemicals in the water (some are added on purpose and some are from pollution). Some people think that the dissolved minerals in the water are good and others think they’re bad. The Healthy Water booklet outlines what is good and bad about the water you drink.
Also you can read about the water filters that I recommended and why right here. You can read summaries of the Healthy Water material here or order the full booklet for more information. Research on drinking water is highly fragmented and opinionated. Studies on water and heart disease ignore the findings on drinking water and cancer and vice versa. Healthy Water brings this diverse and confusing research into a coherent focus.
