Done research, but as usual, real human feedback is gold.
We are wondering if anyone here has had success with units such as these:

Hydroxyapatite Fluoride removal filters.

We live in a semi-rural block.
We need a sediment filter as the shower heads and kitchen sink outlets block with debris.

And we don't want chlorine or fluoride either.
The former is essentially to kill bugs en route, while the latter is an endocrine disruptor.

The company states that these will last years with weekly backwashing, for a four person household.
That sounds very optimistic...

If we go down this route, I will give my feedback for others to take onboard. Shared experiences and all.

I just learned that hot tap water has more contaminants than cold water. Apparently, the heat can cause minerals and other stuff to leech from pipes into your water…which is not ideal if you’re baking or cooking with warm water straight from the tap. I bake a lot so I’ve been looking at waterdrop C1H instant hot filtered water system that filters it first, so you know it’s clean...Does anyone else notice a difference with this?

Hi folks,

Looking to buy a countertop water distiller to make distilled water for the humidifier. Hoping to get something online that won't cost an arm and a leg and will arrive expeditiously. Any suggestions?

The issue: Water supply quantity (well runs dry very easy).

Also water pressure is very weak.

Considerations for a solution: - hard water, ( 5 gpg , 1.7 ppm iron , 0.172 Mg , 74 ppm tds )

• two wells on property, current operating well is 100ft deep with a 2 gpm influx rate. Other well is unknown depth but there is certainly water in there 20ft down. They are 15ft apart, unsure as to why one was abandoned.

-We just got a brand new pressure tank and a softener (VIQUA 50000 GRAIN WATER SOFTENER)

• property is ocean front.

The dream: A pressurized water system with enough water to not worry about running system dry.

Solutions I am flirting with: - deeper well from 100ft to 250ft, however this is most costly (~10k for drillling, new pump, controls).

• surface storage tanks in basement (less preferred but could justify with proper water supply)

• the red neck in me says can’t we utilize that second well for something!?? It’s there!!

• any help is appreciated!!!!

I ran bath water and saw some white floaty things in it. Being very curious as to what it was I turned the lights out and took this picture. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this?

I’m visiting my family in South America and have noticed a trend of those still living in my grandparents home. My grandmother was diagnosed with dementia in 2010, and my aunt and uncle still living in that home are quite literally insane (they think their wifi is getting hacked by spies and that our family is hiring hit men to take them out).

I’m thinking that something has to be causing this, so I wanted to test the drinking water but since i’m abroad I don’t know if that’s feasible.

If it helps i’m in Colombia.

I’ve recently found out that I’m allergic to the chlorine in my tap water. I’ll get nasal congestion, chest tightness, dry skin and a lot of other symptoms. Which also happens when I take a hot shower and breathe in the steam.

I’m now looking for a faucet filter that removes as much chlorine as possible from my tap water. I know there are many different types, gravity-based, ceramic, activated carbon and so on. So, which type of faucet filter will be the most effective at removing chlorine from my drinking water?

Let me know in the comments!

Do you think it’s possible to withdrawal off of bottled water because of the body possibly detoxing from micro plastics? I’ve been an avid drinker of bottled water( only ) for years and I decided to quit and use filtered water in a reusable container. I’ve been having very weird vivid dreams the last 3-4 days and I’m super groggy when I wake up and the only change I’ve had in this time period is switching the water I drink? Sounds crazy but let me know what you think.

I need to start drinking more water BUT i hate drinking water. I know I should but I can only drink water if it is Ice cold. I love beverages though. But drinking too much flavored liquids like juices and coffees are bad for you. So i want to know is there a way I could make myself drink water. It's already winter where I am at so I don't drink ice cold drinks anymore and that resulted in me not drinking water the whole day at all at times. I need helpppp.

Hey guys, I'm getting into water drinking. Any beginner tips? I use add-ons and extensions like lemon juice and sucrose to improve the performance, but I think I can do better.

Had a RO system for a few years but because of chronic reflux and other stomach issues, replaced it with a nanofiltration system recently.

One thing I noticed was that the TDS PPM for the nanofiltration treated drinking water is 165ppm. When I had the RO system it was about 18.

I also measured a bottle of poland spring and that was 40. The water straight from my bathroom and kitchen faucet is about 220ppm.

I'm trying to do some research online and some places mention that up to 150 is considered great for drinking water while some places mention 300-500 is ideal for drinking water.

Is the 165 range considered safe/good for drinking water?

I seem to be having issues with carbon water filters. Ears have been ringing, diahrea. Abdominal pain. I can't do distilled water. I get sick from it. Any non carbon filter options. ? I tried evian water and felt sick. ( i have histamine intolerance and idk what else.)

Recently the water in my drink bottle has tasted weird. I decided to do a taste test between the water in my drink bottle, the same water in a cup, and just tap water. The 2 cups tasted normal while the water in the bottle tasted weird. The bottle, lid and straw are all completely clean, no dirt on it whatsoever. I’m not sure what’s causing this but I would like answers. I am in Australia if that helps.

Just got out of the bath and trying to stand hurts the skin on my feet is something wrong with or is this normal for being in the bath too long (i would post a pic but foot fetish people yk)

I think I am probably extremely dehydrated because I often wake up unable to breathe. I feel so weak and unable to drink water due to past trauma.

I went to the doctor twice already and no one gave me advice. If I have a big bottle of water I probably only drink like 3 sips a day. It’s just very difficult for me to do it..

Sometimes I wonder if I may pass out due to dehydration. I also have a very weak body and skin.

Never had a well before, just trying to figure out the ins and outs and maintenance. Can someone explain to me the tank on the left and in the middle? I know we fill the left one with salt.
