www.revelationhealth.com The best water system for home filtration purification is not water dispenser filtration. Chemicals drinking water ...

I am in the market for a water softener. I am looking at the La PURE filtration and conditioning system. I am hoping to connect with someone who actually has the system. How would you rate it compared to a Kinetico or Culligan water softener? Is it effective? Does it really condition water without salt? Any information would be helpful.

You're actually better off to not filter your water too much.

Price: $25.99

Reduces lead, chlorine taste and odor, cryptosporidium, and giardia cysts
Filter life of up to 200 gallons
Reduces unpleasant odor

Does this compare to an RO / DI system meant for an aquarium? Would it clear all the purities out of the water for a mini reef aquarium? I keep purchasing water for my tank from a fish store and it is time I get my own system for my tank, and I came across the Watts Premier RO-Pure Advanced Filtration Process Reverse Osmisus System at a great price. But I do not want to put my tank into danger by using the wrong system.

I am not a saltwater person, but I can tell you that the system you are looking at will give you RO - but that is not the same as RO/DI.

I am not sure if DI is all that important for saltwater tanks or are people using it simply because it is the cleanest thing they can get?

You may know the answer to that part better than me... But I think people used RO for a long time till DI came in vogue.

Price: $99.99 $52.49

5-piece Annual filter pack
Sanitary "Push Button" Fitter Change
(2) high-quality, 5-micron carbon block filters to reduce chlorine, bad tastes and odors (1) final carbon block filter (polishing/final) to enhance taste and quality

I've finally fixed the water pressure problem by replacing the self tapping valve with a normal valve, but water still leaks from the filter housing when the dispenser is activated. So basically anytime I fill a glass with water or water is periodically filled into the ice dispenser, a good bit leaks from the side of the filter into the fridge. I couldn't possibly put any more teflon tape on it and the seal seems tight. What's wrong? Its a Pure Source brand filtration system.

If the seal is in good shape the plastic filter housing is most likely cracked. Shut off your water, take the filter housing off and hold it up to a light. You may find it has a small crack in it. You can also fill it with water and wipe it dry on the sides and look for water seeping out the sides.

I'm starting this Health and Fitness Program at my church and there are all these interesting facts about Health & Fitness and lifestyle.

One thing that has stuck out is that fact that bottled water can taste different from one company to the next. My understanding is that water is pure color-less, odor-less and flavor-less.

I've heard that bottled water can taste different because different companies use different filtration systems. Then I've heard that it's the bottle you're tasting. Finally, of course everyone knows all bottled water (except for the Wal-Mart brand) is made by gnomes who melt down large crystal-clear glaciers in Alaska using their magical hats. The reason some bottles of water taste different from others is because different gnomes have different hats which produce different tastes.

In all seriousness, I really need to know why. I've Googled and everything and I haven't found a straight answer.

Thanks, Everyone!!!

Taste some distilled water- that is your baseline. Good distilled water is 'flat' and flavorless- there is NOTHING in it but H2O, and almost non-measureable traces of the pipes, plastic, etc. it passed through. Distilled water is literally 'made' in the factory- all 'personality' is removed by the processing.

'Natural' water picks up flavors from the rocks, minerals, soil types, etc. it passes as it moves on the surface or underground.

Tap water tastes different because it starts as 'natural' water, then picks up tastes from the filtration and processing, pipes, etc.

MOST bottled water in the US is someone's tap water... maybe filtered a bit more. An amount of water that costs less than a penny being sold at over a buck a bottle- sweet scam, huh?

More interestingly, most people in blind taste tests perfer their own tap water to most bottled waters!
