Could you recommend a good water filter?

    I'm trying to avoid a plastic one. Carahealth.com sells a non-plastic water filter at 200 euro. The website's on the kooky side, but do you think the filter's worth the price?

    At that price, i'd go for a reverse osmosis filter. Lots of different models available on Amazon, you can buy them here but they cost a lot more. I have one and the water from it tastes much better than tap water. Takes out almost everything, leave very pure water.

    Do these definitely remove flouride? I didn't think it could be removed from filtering alone??

    I use a carahealth gravity water filter (1st post) I have had for 8 years and they were the first I came across to identify fluoride as an issue in the water, it has also helped me through cryptosparidium & lead in Galway water and is perfect as I rent. I like the company because they employ a professional naturopath to research & test their products. Also if you check their web site there are lots of free articles on natural health as well as water issues.

    I now use their bone char filters as this removes fluoride but does not need the 2nd plastic fluoride filter so is more environmentally friendly and cheaper.

    research reverse osmosis and distilled water because of health risks and environmental impacts.

    I hope this helps
