water filters.. flouride

[Guest guest]

whole house RO is very expensive to buy and maintain even with the decreased cost of RO in general. RO is slow, so serving a whole house needs would take a huge storage tank like the size of a couple water heaters and as fast an RO system as is available... several in parallel probably.

suing the gov't for forced mass medication and criminally charging them for reckless endangerment would work if a lot of people flooded the court dockets with it. could even catch on nationally. would take some good lawyers looking to build a rep to get on board, and supporting evidence would have to be compelling.

RO doesn't leave much in the water at all. some dissolved solids. once the chlorine has been removed the system is subject to bacterial growth if it gets contaminated. the best way to be safe about new growth is to have an ultraviolet sterilizer in the flow of the output.

there are many different filter cartridges available that trap many things that can be part of an RO system... or used without RO.

the cleaner the water is before the RO membrane, the longer the RO membrane will last and the better it's output.

more filters after the RO membrane can remove whatever else is still there.

aside from the RO membrane, Alumina is the cartridge that removes flouride. it must follow an RO membrane or it will quickly become useless, and it's better if de-ionizer cartridge precedes Alumina also. the Alumina is not real cheap, and making it last is a good idea.

yup, the whole East Bay is heavily fluoridated. whole house reverse osmosis sounds good. so does starting a movement to get fluoride out of the water! one of the many movements......

It's true - I wonder what the cost of a whole house reverse osmosis system costs these days - I think they've come down significantly from ten to twenty years ago. I know they leave some pollutants in but you could distill the drinking and cooking water.

Berkeley too is heavily fluoridated? Kind of surprised if that is so. Maybe I shouldn't be.

If you want a low down on Fluoride watch this:

In this video, award-winning journalist Bryson examines one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era; how a grim workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant of the cold war was added to our drinking water and toothpaste.

I have a friend who's child's teeth are crumbling from fluorosis, fluoride poisoning. Her doctor told her that her only option is to move to a county without fluoride in the water because fluoride does not filter out of the water with the majority of water filters. According to the CDC in 2005, 1 in 3 children in the US had some level of dental fluorosis. If it does that to teeth it's doing it to other bones.
