Re: Here goes!

he bottom of my giant spring water bottle has a seven on it! I've wanted to get a distiller for awhile, but other expenses have always come up. maybe we should just go back to the brita...anyone remember if it removes fluoride?

so, I'm back after a bit of reading.

here's what the gov't. says here in Canada:

If you are unsure as to whether your bottles are polycarbonate, check to see if the bottom of the bottle has the number 7 in the centre of the recycling symbol. Although the number 7 is a broad category, you can only be sure it is polycarbonate if the number 7 also has a PC beside it. If the bottle does not have a recycling symbol, there is no certain means of identifying whether it is made from polycarbonate or not.

mine has the 7 and underneath the recycling symbol says OTHER.

which is unlikely to be better that PC, but you never know.
