Whilst researching contaminates in our water supply one of the first conclusions I came to was the need to install a water filter system. I had always purchased bottles of water from the super market as we get through a lot of water in the household. This was an expensive habit and very inconvenient due to the bulk of the bottles. I decided one day, after pulling a muscle whilst rushing to unpack my shopping in the pouring rain, that there must be an easier way! That day was the clincher. I had also heard people say that water in plastic bottles was probably more dangerous than straight from the tap due to the chemicals that plastic bottles can produce!
My first investment was the normal carbon filter jug type with the granular carbon filter. Now these are just a minimal requirement in my opinion, and reviewing the product I discovered that a far more effective water filter is the solid block carbon type.
I have recently purchased a separate shower filter, it was again my own research that prompted this decision. (Please have a look at my previous blog on chlorine to see why this became a priority of mine.) The difference this filter has made is tremendous. A young member of my household suffered with eczema and really dry skin and was constantly miserable as a consequence. The impact of fitting the shower filter has made is nigh on a miracle! The young man in question is now an eczema free, confident and happy individual. I could not believe the difference this device has made!
The other water filter that I am now considering is the reverse osmosis type that you fit on your rising main, thereby treating the whole your water supply. I cant think of a better gift to my family and the peace of mind this water filter system will give me.
