I Want Clear, Refreshing Water. What are my options?
BOTTLED WATER
Fastest growing beverage industry in the world, $22 billion a year with little or no government regulation, standards or controls.
Very expensive compared to other filtered waters. 99% of cost is the bottle, the label, transportation, advertising and profit.
 (Freshly purifier water costs as little as 2 cents a litre. Imagine having to pay $8.50 for this small bottle of water that was sitting on my hotel room dresser)
Large bottles and multi-packs heavy and inconvenient to carry
No disinfecting agent (Chlorine) to prevent bacteria build-up during storage, which is usually months or years. (check expiry date)
Prolonged storage leads to leeching of trace toxic chemicals from the bottle into the water. (Phtylate and Vinyl Chloride).
Despite perceptions that it's healthier, there is little difference between bottled water and tap water.
According to the FDA, "Companies that market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the public."
1.5 million tons of plastic used to bottle water every year.
Toxic chemicals released into the environment during the manufacture and disposal of recycling of plastic bottles.
Often healthy minerals and salts are lost when water is filtered.
Even spring water is subject to aquifer contamination.
SMALL PITCHER OR FAUCET MOUNTED FILTERS
Fairly low initial cost.
A small gravity filter while able to remove unpleasant taste and odours is not effective in the removal of heavy-duty pollutants such as harmful bacteria, toxic chemicals and heavy metals.
Quote from Brita water filter cartridge packaging.
"Caution! The Brita water filter is not intended to purify water."
Reduced Chlorine gives the impression water is clean but it's not.
Quote from City of Ottawa Water Purification web site
" The presence of organic nutrients in carbon filters
can promote bacterial growth, as quickly as overnight.
Water Works Association has described small cartridge units in a pitcher or that attach to the tap as "totally useless", because of their size and the brief exposure time.
WATER DISTILLATION SYSTEM
Removes the Calcium and healthy minerals producing water with a flat taste.
Expensive to maintain with high electricity consumption.
Holding tank is subject to bacteria contamination.
Many pollutants are not removed.
Large and bulky system.
Typically not effective at removing organic compounds such as pesticides and Trihalomethanes (THMs-known carcinogen).
High initial capital cost.
Distilled water is energetically dead.

It will incease bodily acidity, the risk of osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, hypothyroidism, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, premature aging and cardiovascular disease.
GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS
Will not remove harmful bacteria or heavy metals from the water.
Does not require holding tank but filter can become a breeding ground for bacteria, requiring regular filter replacement.
Most units are sealed and not cleanable (No replaceable cartridge).
Granular carbon permits water under pressure to forge channels through the granular carbon allowing unfiltered water through.
No pre filter to prevent premature clogging of the filter.
THE GENERAL FILTER WATER PURIFIER .
Removes all harmful bacteria, parasites and viruses including Gardia Lambia Cysts, Cryptosporidium, E Coli, Fecal Coliforms, Hepatitus B and Salmonella

Removes all heavy metals including lead, mercury, aluminum, iron, copper, zinc, magnesium and silver.
Removes carcinogenic chlorination bi-products (Trihalomethanes.)
Provides safe drinking water during "boil water orders" or breakdowns in the city's purification system. e.g. Walkerton, where 6 died and 2500 were very sick, (some will never recover), North Battleford, Charlottetown, St. John's, Cranbrook, Kelowna, Sioux Lookout and Milwaukee where 100 died and 400,000 were sick.
Good water flow, produces two litres of pure water a minute.
Can be used safely on rural or municipal water unlike other filtering systems that require chlorinated water.
