House water filters

Scott,I like clean water don't get me wrong the problem I have we drink clean water but we swim and take baths in about any type water and it is proven your skin is like a sponge it absorbs about anything it comes in contact with and I just don't know if the R/O and bottled water is really the way to go 

I read the labels on bottled water they take all the natural minerals out then come back and add a chemical version of the same as was removed.

I just cannot bring my self to pay the price of water that I paid for 5 gals of fuel way back when the moon was the size of a golf ball  lol

One thing to be careful of with RO is that the membrane performance and life can be effected by ph depending of which membrane your use.

I am pretty happy with our water at home in general, but we do filter it for chemicals.  We load about 10 gallons of that water for drinking/cooking when we leave.  After that, I generally try to get water from those machines in front of the supermarkets.  Since it is generally filtered city system water, it has supposedly had to meet legal standards plus the filtering removes much of the chemistry.  From what I understand, city water systems meet much tougher standards than are required of bottled water.  It is also a lot cheaper than bottled water.

Of course, if you are concerned about critters, you could boil your water.

Clifford, when we lived in the Imperial Valley our water came from the canal system. I would not even wet my toothbrush with it.  However, you are right-- we did bath in it!  There are always risks to deal with.  Anyway, the county assured me that there was nothing to worry about.  They were very helpful that way.  Once we called to complain that our house was being crop dusted, and they told me not to be concerned because it was only the smell and not the chemical that was covering us,
