Guest guest Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Yes, water purification is a jungle. I have the Radiant Life 14 stage system. It works well, but like all Reverse Osmosis systems it's pretty slow. Just got my water tested and this system does take out everything as it should while adding in a little calcium. The hardest thing to get comfortable with is the price, but for the peace of mind it's worth it. And it won't bring your body's pH down like a plain R.O. system would. Good luck & Let me know if you have any other questions. Adrienne Adrienne N.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Welcome, Karla. I rent so I can't install an under-the-counter filter. I got a countertop reverse osmosis filter which can be found at www.naturessunshine.com (mind the double s or you'll be taken to a junk site). It's the same filter recommended by Sally in the back of NT, under Ozark Water, but I don't know if Ozark is still around. I've had the countertop filter for years and send it back periodically for maintenance (replace the membranes, etc.). I know it's not as good as the RL filters. But the water does taste good.

There are hundreds of them and new ones being dumped into our water every day. +++Hi Cassandra, I believe there is too much fear mongering over what is in our water. And of course many companies profit from it by selling water or water systems. I think we must " pick our battles " wisely. It is much more important to obtain all of the natural minerals in water than to avoid it even though there may be contaminants. If your body gets " proper nutrients " it very easily detoxifies such contaminants. Also reverse osmosis water leaches minerals from the body, and there are no processed minerals that can possibly duplicate Mother Nature's minerals. People on this group who switched over from reverse osmosis water to Britta filtered tap water found their health improved in a couple of weeks. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 See http://www.directive21 dot com. This is just one of the distributors for the Berkey water purification units. (I'm not affiliated with them; I'm just a customer.) I recently bought one of these units and I love it! It removes the contaminants without removing the natural minerals. The " black Berkey " filters remove almost everything but there are separate kinds of filters for removal of fluoride and arsenic. I'm using both kinds of filters.

What is it you 'love' about this system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
