Best Options For Water Filtration?

[Tax Slave]

I'm trying to figure out what kind of water filtration is best to get for my home for fluoride and all the other crap. Ideally water would be treated at the source before going anywhere in the house but at this second I'm looking for a way to filter water for drinking and preparing food. I could not find a forum with regard to the sponsors on the Prison Planet website. Any advice opinions and experience is appreciated. Thanks

If you're just concerned about filtering out fluoride, they make shower heads that do this. The most amount of fluoride introduced into the body is through the skin during a shower or bath. The problem is actual data that demonstrates that the fluoride is actually being removed. Good luck in your search. Many green companies say that the actual removal is minimal. This is why fluoride shouldn't be in the tap to begin with. You could always go to well water.

I have a purewaterfreedom filter. and I love it. they also have whole house filters as well. They work great I love the water I drink now!

For drinking water and water for preparing food, use either a gravity filtration system or reverse osmosis.  There are A LOT of options when it comes to RO... just pay attention to the stated real-world results.

As an apartment dweller, I have limited options, so I use a Berkey with the PF-2 addon filters (for arsenic and fluoride).  For the two tasks your attempting to handle, this is the easiest approach and they're relatively inexpensive considering that the main filter elements are self-sterilizing and re-cleanable.  The PF-2 addons typically last about a year, depending on use... me and the aminals use about 3+ gallons per day typically.

As an aside, don't waste your time on in-line shower filters.  Regardless of any claims, without something like an RO system (which is low-pressure) coupled with a pump or gravity-fed reservoir, you're better off looking at a whole-house system.  Reason being that the short time spent inside an in-line filter (such as they sell for shower-heads) is not enough to filter something as tiny as the fluoride molecule.  The best you'll get is filtering chlorine and similar contaminants.

not having much money, I also use a berkley light water filter, and I think it is great, the filters last forever, I have been using my same filters for 4 years, even the PF2's are good for 5,000 or 6,000 gallons, I'll never use that much so they are good for life, plus it holds 1-2 gallons so you can filter a lot at once.

I also use a KDF shower filter which is primary good for removing chlorine and metals, KDF is the best I know of but there are others. they are better than nothing, I can defintly tell a difference. I hate having to travel and not have one.

ANother option is the Ecoblue water generator that pulls water from the humidity in the air, they are around $1000 for the smallest unit but the drinking water is excellent, they also have larger systems that can supply a whole house.
