What are the key points to consider before buying a water filter at home? What sort of problems do we encounter while using it.
cost per gallon. reverse osmsis systems are good but add in an ultraviolet light to the prefiltered water and your filters last longer and water taste better.

I'm wondering if the water filter really is doing it's job. I can kinda feel my left kidney and am imagining build-up from under-filtered water running through it. Ever heard of people getting kidney stones from drinking tap water?

I bought a paragon 10,000 gallon water filter from Sears for $60.00 and the part that screws into the faucet sprays water. The unit came with 3 different rubber washers, and I tried each of them, and it still sprays water. This particular water filter screws into the faucet, and the water base sits on the countertop, and is good for a whopping 10,000 gallons which is cool, but I can't seem to stop the darn water from spraying out where it screws the water diverter into the faucet! I am hoping that someone out there who has had a similar problem knows how to fix it, or is a plumber or understands how to correct this problem. Thanks and I look forward to reading your answers. Thanks!
i would use Teflon tape , rap it twice , o n the thread,
then apply the washer , make sure you screw it slowly ,and straight

My condo complex has well water with a water softening system. The water is awful - very soapy. My face broke out with acne and my hair looks terrible. I bought a filter for my shower head that includes blocking rust and chlorine, but I would like a better filter. I picked this one up from Home Depot for about $20. Can anyone recommend a bettter filter and the price range?
Sorry, dunno.
I have an Everpure H104 water filter installed under my sink that the previous owners installed. Has worked great so far. Changed the filter a year or so ago with no problems. Just swapped in a new filter, and the new one leaks. It seems like the impact of the water when I am done filling my glass forces a few drops out of the top somewhere.
I've placed a pan under it for now, but am going to tackle it again this weekend. Anyone have this happen to them and want to share their experience? I have the 800 number from Everpure.com but am curious to hear your experience with your filter, especially fixing a leaky filter.
Thanks!
care full attention must be taken when closing the filter after filter medium replacement , u just need to replace the rubber "O" ring , the previous one is already become unusable of there would be miss fitting of the ring while closing / righting ,
purchase a new rubber O ring or proper size rubber Gasket. u may also use Teflon PTFE for this , but rubber is best, available from every big hardware shop

Benefits Of PUR Water Filters
PUR water filters are commonly found in many different stores and can be found in different styles to meet the needs of the family and the type of filtration that they want. There are some PUR water filters that are in pitchers and others that are faucet mounted. There are even some PUR water filters that are made to be in refrigerators so that the water that is dispensed is filtered. The PUR water filter replacement cartridges are very economical in comparison to the high cost of buying bottled water. A PUR water filter cartridge usually costs between six to eight dollars and will last at least a month in most cases. This can be compared to the cost of a twenty-four water bottle case that will cost from four to six dollars and will last under a week in most cases.
Types of PUR Water Filters
The amount of filtration that is done by the PUR water filter depends on the type that is used. The pitcher units will usually do a better job of filtering out the chlorine and the chlorine by-products that cause the awful flavor in the tap water. They also usually do a better job of filtering out the heavy metals that can be found in the water, such as copper or lead. The faucet mounted PUR water filters will usually do a better job than the pitcher versions in filtering out the agricultural and industrial pollutants that can be found in tap water, such as endrin or asbestos. Both types of filters tend to do a great job in filtering out the pharmaceutical pollutants that can be found in the water supply such as antidepressants and steroids.

I run bleach through my ceramic filter after every trip - I think it was suggested by manufacturer (msr). The reason I do it is to prevent moisture in the ceramic from molding during the drying process. The filter goes on most trips, almost every weekend, and I have never had a problem. I use a 50/50 bleach water mixture. Not sure how much a "pinch" (from original post) of bleach would be - can you pinch bleach? I also try to do 100 - 150 mile section hikes twice a year. The filter on the Hiker Pro has a 750 liter life and after 4 years I simply replaced it. I lost it on a hike and replaced it with a Katadyn Vario because it has a faster throughput and I can connect a nalgene bottle directly to the pump. The Vario also has like a 2000 liter life.
