Guest guest Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yep, they run anywhere from 69.00 Australian currency, to 250.00. US dollars. But I've just about settled on an 8 stage counter top RO unit that filters fluoride. Bethann If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 would ascorbic acid powder do the same thing? can you still use epsom salts with it? Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Kathy:D LMAO, I dunno. I have no earthly idea. Bruce and others have already said they weren't coming to my house if I tried out my chemistry theories. And one wants a video of the results. My chemistry knowledge is non existent except that I know table salt is sodium chloride and epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, but maybe some of the more savvy chemistry knowin' peeps on the list will come along shortly Bethann If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 What is the objection to having an aluminum based fluoride removal system? I wouldn't think it would matter as long as it isn't adding aluminum to the water. They have pre- and post-filtration results on the website for some of their filters. They appear to removing both the fluoride and the aluminum that was present in the unfiltered water. The levels of both are lower in the filtered water. That sounds pretty good to me, so I'm looking forward to a chemistry lesson from you, telling me why I'm wrong. :-) In a message dated 1/2/2010 9:46:47 P.M.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I have done a ton of research in this area, and agree with the comments here. Our choices were the CrystalQuest systems, or the Aquasana systems. We chose Aquasana because it came out to be a little cheaper. We moved to NW of DFW in Texas about 1.5 years ago, and the water here stinks because there is a lot of natural gas seaping into the water. Our neighbors always tell us they hate doing the laundry or running the dishwasher because it stinks up the whole house. Within two weeks of living here, we installed the whole house system from Aquasana, and no more problems. We had already been using their sink filtering drinking water system, and tested it for contaminant removals. It did great in KC where the water was ok. I tested it here in Texas, and it does just as great here too. Aquasana should know about the water here in Texas, because they are in Ft. Worth. Their systems are great, and good priced.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 lol. I didn't look in detail just went mostly on always hearing there wasn't such and those that did used aluminum and that was in the water. They seem to also filter that out, so may be good. Interesting, good find. Apologies Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: Tchwrtr@... What is the objection to having an aluminum based fluoride removal system?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 At Lowes I'm not sure, as I never ended up getting a filter after checking them all out, but I'm pretty sure that they would (or Home Depot, etc). I'm in an RV now, get well water from the guy on whose property I live, and I use a pitcher-filter (Brita) on it to clean up anything in his water.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I researched the Crystal Quest and it seemed like the best thing out there, then I read the reviews on their pitchers, in line system, etc. The customers warned again and again to buy another system. One person had black slim coming from one of the fittings. Also, poor customer service was a common theme. Just trying to save you the trouble as one reviewer said.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Good to know. I haven't actually bought anything yet but I'm giving it serious consideration. I will probably at least get something for the kitchen so I can have unfluoridated water to drink and cook with. I forgot who posted the Aquasana water filter link, but they seemed pleased with them. Maybe Aquasana is a better bet. Whoever that was, can you let us know what your customer service experiences were? In a message dated 1/3/2010 3:27:54 P.M.
