Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 I order all my shower filters,air purifiers etc. from the American Environmental Health Foundation in Dallas. Their web site is www.aehf.com. They are associated with Dr Rea at the Environmental Health Center in Dallas. This association and clinic is probably one of the best places in terms of quality and standards for these types of products. Hope this helps.

The one I use I originally bought from Self Care catalog, although they don't have it any more (they have a different model now which is probably as good or better). Mine is from www.cuzn.com and is called Turbo Shower. I haven't actually had the water tested before and after the filter, but I can tell you that with the filter, I cough less in the shower, and my skin and hair are not as dried out by the shower. -- el (andrea@...) - Nevada City, CA, USA " ...wake now!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 We have a whole house filter, but before I got married I had a CuZn (which may not be ideal for everyone since it uses copper and zinc. I also had one like the first one pictured on the following website. http://www.custompure.com/doc/showerfilter.htm I bought one at a HFS and the other through either www.gaiam.com or www.realgoods.com S S <tt> What shower filter is the best? What is everyone here using? Thanks.<BR> <BR> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 We use the Aquasana; it had the best reviews. My hubby tests it from time to time (it's been several months) and it is still showing 0ppm chlorine. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi Deb, I would suggest that you enquire by phoning your City Hall if they use chlorine or chloramine to decontaminate city water. If they use chloramine, a filter designed to remove chlorine will not remove chloramine (and vice versa). If your city uses chloramine, you will need a special filter designed for that specifically; otherwise, buying a filter designed for chlorine will be money thrown away. I know of two companies who have systems for chloramine: (1) Aquasmart: http://www.aquasmart.com/ http://www.aquasmart.com/pdfs/water%20problems%20 & %20solutions.pdf This is a grid showing what filters to use for what problems (e.g.: chloramine = KDF 85 & carbon (Aquasmart no. 1112) -------------------- (2) Go Beyond Organic: http://www.gobeyondorganic.com/ Their section on water: http://www.gobeyondorganic.com/water/index.html On that page we can read: " Winston's Sweet Water™ Purification Systems remove toxic fluoride, arsenic, mercury, lead, heavy metals, chlorine, chloramines and other pollutants out of the water without also removing all the minerals that make water wholesome and healthy. " For info about chloramine: http://www.alive.com/3098a6a2.php (This is the article I first read, which sent me on my quest to find out whether Ottawa uses chloramine or not (it does), and my quest to find the right water filter.) http://dld123.com/q & a/index.php?cid=47 Debra Lynn Dadd writes: " I don't know of a shower filter that filters chloramine. " She also writes further down that page: " There is a new type of carbon that does remove chloramine called Centaur® carbon. It has unique properties that enhance the ability of the carbon to adsorb certain specific chemicals. It is widely used to remove chloramines. When I first moved here to Florida, I was able to get a whole house filter with Centaur® carbon from all the local water dealers. " - I would definitely contact Aquasmart and Go Beyond Organic (and any other company you know of), and ask them if they have a shower filter for chloramine. You could also do a search on the Internet. http://dld123.com/q & a/index.php?cid=31 : " (...) A water filter that removes chlorine, however, will not remove chloramines, and vice versa. So the first thing to find out is: (1) do you have chlorine or chloramines in your tap water; and (2) does the filter under consideration remove chlorine or chloramines? Choose a filter that removes the type of chlorine that is in your water. " Information for people in Canada who are on a disability pension, social assistance, low income owners, etc.: The Canadian Morgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) provides forgiveable loans for low income owners, people on disability pension, social assistance, etc. I asked my housing co-op to apply, in order to get a water filtration system, and we were successful. I now have (since December 21 2005, and at no cost to me) a double system from Aquasmart: one central, point-of-entry system which removes chloramine and many other contaminants; plus one reverse osmosis kitchen counter filtration system for drinking water, which removes further contaminants. I am very happy with this double system. To find out more about the RRAP program and to find the co-ordinates of your local RRAP administrator, do a search on CMHC's website (www.cmhc.ca) using " RRAP " as a key word. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I was reading that several peope restored their hair by getting a shower filter..ive been meaning to get one for a long time but so far the only one ive found is on the radiant life catalog webpage. The one that they have only clears out the chlorine (at least as advertized ) and i am interested in a filter that might reduce all harmful chemicals that my skin, lungs, and hair might be exposed to. Also for my daughter who is 2 and loves to take baths and showers. thanks -Lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
