The greater majority of people who first purchase a water purifier are those who have been or are users of bottled water. If you are still continuing to use tap water, the chances are that you haven't "bought in" to the concept of spending money on water for better taste and quality. Once it dawns on a person to begin to change drinking water habits, the two most popular choices involve purchasing bottled water, or a point-of-use drinking water system. To define our terms a little here, when I use the word filter, I'm referring to a carbon drinking water system. The carbon system will be helpful in reducing what it has been verified to reduce by independent testing. I sell systems which use ceramic technology in addition to carbon filtration (Click Here). When I use the word purifier, I'm referring to a slower process of purification such as reverse osmosis, which takes a few hours to process each gallon of water. A purifier will also greatly reduce dissolved solids, and hardness, and coupled with carbon, reduce organics and other substances. My top of the line reverse osmosis systems are here (Click Here) It is important to know that these systems have been verified by independent testing.

By the way, if you want to be aware of requirements which are in effect in certain states, requiring third party documentation attesting to the performance of each water system, click here to the State Standards link. (Click Here). These contaminants are known as Health Related Contaminants.
