Which water filter is best?
It seems there are so many possibilities these days I wonder which one to choose.
I am not a scientist but a thorough, analytical researcher.
I have researched and googled. Here are my results:
- Water Distiller
- Reverse osmosis
- Water Ionizer
- Water Di ionizer
- Ozone generator
- (UV) Ultraviolet light
- (GAC) Granular activated carbon
- UV filter
- Basic home Brita water
I have pointed out items which I have discovered but would be grateful for anyone elses development of these points. I don't really know much about de Ionized Water since I have researched Ionized Water a fair bit.
_____________________________________________________________________________
WATER DISTILLER
pro: 1) removes most contaminants from water.
con: 1) does not remove all VOCS
con: 2) ph low - acidic. not ideal for drinking
con: 3) £300 / $US 600 - slow 4hrs for 4 litres
?: Does the distiller leech minerals from the body? Evidence suggests this is the case. But is that because the person isn't drinking tap water and getting their usual dose from there? In which case could they get enough of the right minerals from adding a pinch of Sea Salt as the book "Your bodies many cries for water" suggests? But due to Hulda Clark s book " The Cure For All Diseases " everything has mold in it, including salt, so would it then be wise to kill potential mold in the salt by ozonating the water after that? But then after reading about ozonators I came across information about producing dangerous ozone gases being produced? In any case, the water may still be quite acidic, so to alkalise surely it would be better to add alkalising ingredients - calcium and magnesium. It seems like a slow process.
?: Volatile organic compounds (VOC)does distillation remove vocs? I found 2 articles that suggests distillation might not remove them.
1) http://www.finishing.com/156/65.shtml
2) http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/jul99/931496543.Ch.r.html
_____________________________________________________________________________
REVERSE OSMOSIS
pro: 1) 2nd best for removing contaminants from water.
con: 1) not as good as distiller for removing potential bacteria or pathagens etc
con: 2) ph low - acidic. not ideal for drinking
con: 3) wastes 85 - 95% of water. so not economically friendly. Surely the more waste this produces, the less of the good water is circulating our cities and ending up in our tap water. ie the rich get healthier while the poor get sicker.
_____________________________________________________________________________
WATER IONIZER
pro: 1) 3rd best for removing contaminants from water
pro: 2) Also alkalises water providing more oxygen for the body for absorbing nutrients
pro: 3) does not waste water, since you can use the acidic water for other purposes
pro: 4) most practical and fastest method of creating water
con: 1) does not remove all toxins from water as do reverse osmosis or distilled water.
?: Is usually plated with silver to remove some bacteria, but when reading about Granular activated carbon filtering an artical suggests that using silver-impregnated carbon filters can end up in the water and be dangerous to health.
http://www.home-water-purifiers-and-filters.com/carbon-water-filter.php
?: Does not remove hormones from water. Is this still good for someone who wants to get a filter to deal with Breast Cancer or infertility because of oestrogen.
______________________________________________________________________________
WATER DE-IONIZER
pro: 1) removes bacteria, pathagens
con: 2) ph low - acidic. not ideal for drinking
?: Is it a solvent that will leech important minerals from the body, or is it that once again as i pointed out with the distilled water, that because by drinking it the person isn't getting their standard doses of minerals from unfiltered tap water?
______________________________________________________________________________
OZONE GENERATOR
pro: oxygenates water and kills bacteria and pathagens
con: can produce dangerous ozone gas
?: does the ozonator alkalise water
?: does it remove toxins?
______________________________________________________________________________
ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT
pro: kills bacteria and viruses
con: does not remove anything else
con: can reduce in function over time and its difficult to tell whether its still working
______________________________________________________________________________
GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
pro: removes some heavey metals, VOCs
pro: cheapest of other filters, and most other filters will incorporate this - ioniser, reverse osmosis etc
con: does not remove bacteria, viruses
con: does not remove fluoride, nitrates , arsenic, iron
______________________________________________________________________________
BASIC BRITA WATER FILTER
pro: reduces some contaminants, heavey metals ec
con: only reduces a little
con: not good for hard water
______________________________________________________________________________
So that leaves me with the questions unanswered. Which is best?
CHEAPEST: basic brita water filter
NEXT CHEAPEST: GAC filter
BEST PRACTICAL: ionizer ( most efficient but not most thorough - does not remove hormones, and not sure about silver)
LESS CONTAMINANTS: distilled water (most thorough but lease efficient, but not sure about whether it removes vocs, or leeches the bodies minerals. I think my research suggests it needs to be alkalised after regardless.)
I suppose you could distil the water, then let it sit outside in an organic farm well for a week and then pump it through an ioniser. But then then if you had an organic farm you probably wouldn't be too concerned with drinking the local tap water.
Any further help would be appreciated
thanks

This is a reply to # 747,492Hi, thanks for your reply
I agree, the distilled water is the most thorough eliminator of toxins, however there are problems I have found with this method.
1) PROBLEM: There is evidence to suggest that it doesn't remove VOCS - ie volatile organice compounds. I suppose it makes sense when you think that if the water contains some volatile organic compounds, you most certainly wouldn't want to heat them up, otherwise they would release into the room that your distilling. A bit like heating up oil, you get toxic fumes, and horrible smell, not to mention toxic side affects. Either way it appears from what I have read that a lot of distillers release them into a gas, and back into the water that your about to drink. From my research it appears that it is important to remove the VOCS first with a carbon filter.
SOLUTION: So as long as the water is first filtered with a carbon filter to remove these vocs then this is so far the best method.
2) PROBLEM: The second problem is that the water is acidic to the body, so will need to be remineralized, alkalised, restructured etc othewise it will pick up lots of good minerals from your body and excrete them in your urine.
NEAR SOLUTION: This can be done by adding salt. So in the book - 'your many cries for water' it is very important to add 1/2 teaspoon of good quality salt to 2.5 litres of this water. No doubt you will get that in your food. So that doesn't really pose a problem. But note that - even in dr Hulda Clark es book - she claims that even salt carries mold, and leaving water to sit around will soon accumulate bacteria. This is a problem with distilled water since after being distilled it sits there waitint to be drunk - not totally practical.
NEAR SOLUTION: I suppose you could then ozonate the water before drinking to kill any growing bacteria, or add neem, garlic, Black-Walnut , citricidal / grapefruit seed extract.
NEAR SOLUTION: You could then put the water through another filter, perhaps a silver activated carbon filter, and even ionize the water with a water ionizer, but note, the water would definately need to be remineralised for the Water Ionizer to be able to re-alkalise.
CONSIDERATIONS: I'm all for keeping things natural, because we have more evidence of what works from history of naturapathic methods. Any new method of solving a problem we have to realise that comes with a new set of side affects or problems. So I'm not sold on the idea of ionizing or ozonating. However, distilling occurs in nature, so I am mostly for this method. Its just that its a lot of work to get the best water.
So far here is the most thorough method I have found for making the most cleanest water:
1) carbon filter, as micron small as possible (the smallest being reverse osmosis, but wastes too much water, so next up is 0.01 micron filter, currently selling with jupiter water ionizers and the kyk harmony amongst others. Im researching currently where to buy it in the uk, but struggling right now, it seems the manufacturer claims its not needed for british water. I disagree, besides I might want to carry it on my travels.)
2) distill
3) remineralize with salt, and or other herbs, etc
4) maybe put lemon juice in it, this would help keep bacteria from growing in it while its sitting. And though acidic on the ph, it will actually be alkalising through the body.
personaly i'd like to pour this water down a stream of untainted, unpolluted volcanic rock to pick up all the natural minerals.
Please note, im not a nutritionist, or qualified doctor, but purely a research enthusiast, so all of this information is a collective opinion of everything that I have read.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 749,244I really appreciate this kind of information. My husband and I are trying to figure out the practical uses of an ozonator and distilled water. What we probably will do is continue buying distilled water from the store, let Sea Salt remineralize the water, and ozonate it, then put couple drops of lemon essential oil (young living) in the water to keep it fresh.
We like the idea of ozonator because we cant just use distilled water in the bathtub or for large uses like a pool. For a bath, we probably will pour Epsom Salts in the water and ozonate the water for a good while, then pour some essential oils in the water before getting in.
Let me know what you think of this.

This is a reply to # 750,115Hello Julie Ann
Thanks for your reply.
I will admin that I have never used lemon oil. I have just done some googling to find out about it and it seems like a great antiseptic, anti bacterial. I image as a really sour food it would probably be great for the liver in stimulating bile for digestion. As for alkalising, I can't seem to find anything for that yet.
My preference currently is to use just the lemon juice. The reason for this is:
1) It is well proven in nutritional publications of emphasizing its alkalising results in the body.
2) lemon juice is water soluble so will absorb with water. I know its good to mix oils with salads and vegetables, but thats on the basis of eating and the stomach generating acid to break the food down. It just seem apparent to me that if I'm drinking water, which should really digest very quickly in order for quick hydration and easy absorption its best done without oil. After all, there is so much published material on drinking liquids atleast 30 mins or more and 2 1/2 hrs after eating. I would have thought that taking lemon oil would constitute as eating since the stomach acid has to break it down. No matter how much was consumed, and even if it were just a microscopic amount, would it then even be worth putting in?
Thats not to discount lemon oil. I might be wrong about the absorbing from water. After all I haven't sufficient background in research of this.
NOTE: However, dentists claim that lemon erodes teeth, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to actually bring the ph up with some alkalising agent:
Possibilities:
By staying close to nature, you could easly put in some fresh herbs, spices etc, and or seawead, green plants - barley grass, wheatgrass, Sea Salt , let to soak a little,
In addition to that, you could go further and then then perhaps maybe even ionize after with ionizer?
Considerations:
Bear in mind that in Dr Gersons book - 'healing the hopeless', using bicarbonate of soda might be contradictory because it reduces the potassium balance which can lead to cancer. - see pg183 - 192. Also calcium might have this affect also, see pg 185. I have noticed myself when taking buffered vitamin c with calcium that I have always felt tired after drinking some. Fair enough that could have been withdrawel symptoms, but after taking magnesium ascorbate vitamin c I never felt tired. Also, when I was at college 10 years ago studying art I was really into bodybuilding and use to make a point of drinking lots of milk to bulk up. It could have been the Sugar content in the milk, but I always felt lethargic just under an hr of taking the milk. Mind you, there is countless research against milk for so many other ailments I don't need to emphasise its detrimental affect on health.
2) ionizing the water after adding a tiny bit of salt, or seawead etc. I haven't done this yet, so would be interested to see the results.
It's good that you can buy distilled water, though I would make sure that the water is carbon filtered thoroughly for VOCS (volatile organic compounds) before its distilled if you want completely clean water. And that when you collect it its going into dark glass containers or bottles, not plastic, unless the plastic is a strong plastic and/or is checked for chemicals etc. See Hulda Clark s - cure for all cancers, and jupitor ionizer videos on types of containers to keep water in in case of leeching of toxic chemicals into the water.

As per My observation and study in the water purifier industry.
When you purchase RO water purifier one must keep below things in mind.
1) Source of the Water.
2) TDS of the water.
If you are getting Municipal water you don’t need RO water purifier, But for better taste and complete removal of virus and Bactria along with Chlorine, If you need RO water purifier then you must buy RO water purifier with guaranteed PH value of 7.0 to 8.5 range.
If you just buy RO water purifier isopurewater.com for municipal water there is 90% chance you will be drinking acidic water with PH value less than 6.5. Hence you need to buy RO with added minerals or Alkaline chamber
If you are getting borewell water and water is very sweet doesnt mean that your water is safe.
If you are getting Tanker water or borewell water above 300 TDS, You must choose any RO water purifier with UF or UV or Iodine.
When you buy RO water purifier dont give priority to any brand.
Look at the configuration and after sales service.

Just because you are on municipal water, does not mean your water is safe, or that you do not need a reverse osmosis system. Yes, the bacteria and viruses are killed, but there are still hundreds of contaminants in the water that can be harmful. And, if you get a reverse osmosis system with a DI canister, the water pH is alkaline, or you can get both alkaline and mineral filters for the RO system. But generally, tap water is at about a 6.5 pH level, so it is acidic already. - Re: Which water filter is best? samwadhwa

This is a reply to # 2,109,547Most of our bodies are water, why not make it be water that is excellent and a pH of 8.5 to 9.5 alkalinity. If you drink something acidic you will feel it later. The water doesn't come with the electrolytes and the bottling company's have bottles that contain BPA which is not good for your especially if you have infections. You drink something acidic your body react to it differently and robs calcium from the bones so the stomach can break it down. If you want something like this send me a message and I will send you information on how your body can have the water it deserves and have the minerals put back in your body.

This is a reply to # 740,057I think the best water filter is a reverse osmosis system, because it can offer your plenty of clean and healthy water.You also can buy a water distiller to make distilled water. However, most home water distiller only can make 1 gallon water in 4 to 6 hours. Therefore, a distiller cannot provide you with enough water to drink, cook and wash.Water Ionizers and
Water Di ionizers also have similar problems.- Re: Which water filter is best? Neha Jain

You must first know what is wrong with your drinking water before you start treating it. Understanding and adopting, apt water treatment technology that would proficiently treat the impurities would give you pure and safe water to drink. You can concern Water Consumer for the guidance they actually tells what purifier you should adopt according to the impurities and hardness.

Actually none of them work perfectly to filter germs, ppm etc. Combine system like RO/UV/de-ionizer together can show great performance to get healthy water, weather it for home or garden. hydrologicsystems.com filter brand. Who build highly engineered water filter for customer.
They have all types of filtration system for commercial or residential uses. They have RO UV sterilizer kits to enhance filter performance too. You can chek their website for more information.

This is a reply to # 740,057My setup is that I have a 3 stage Pue New  filter system set up on the whole property (sediment, KDF55, charcoal block) primarily to remove chlorine (useful for my raised bed gardens & orchard drip irrigation system and water spickets for pets and such as well as indoor household water).  Inside all three buildings (2 houses and the garage conversion), each kitchen has a 5 stage Watta reverse osmosis system - the main one has a 15 gallon tank and a permeate pump (which reduces wasted water and increases pressure for ice maker). Â
When I take supplements from the r/o water, I add a squirt of Trace Minerals.

This is a reply to # 740,057There are newer reverse osmosis filters that waste less water. For example, the VGRO-75 wastes only 50% of water while removing most of the contaminants you mentioned including VOCs, chlorine, fluoride, chromium, lead, mercury....etc.
Combine this with a small UV filter and you will also be able to disinfect the water.
You're right about the pH. However, most of the time it's only slightly acidic. Less acidic than orange juice. Even that level of acidity can be easily neutralized by a calcite cartridge added to the last stage of the ro filter.
