Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Betty, Here is a link to one my friend just had put in - it filters and softens the water without salt. This is the one I want but it is pricey (almost $3,000 but it does the entire house). I have two filters that we got at home depot - one is for sediment and then the next in line is charcoal. These are on the water line in the basement so it filters all of the water in the house. We replace the filters about once a month. I did have one just for the shower and a Britta for drinking water but it is so much easier now that all the water is filtered. Our water is not fluoridated so neither of these filter systems gets that out. http://www.lifesourcewater.com/ Jackie >>Hi everyone- I need some recommendations for a water filter for my sink and shower to get the chlorine and everything else out.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm about to make my first batch, and rather than wait until I can order 4 micron filtration paper from the internet, I wonder if it would be equally good or better to use a Britta type water filter after using some paper towels and coffee filters. Would the finished product be as good as with the 4 micron filtration paper? Also, what effect would it have on the water filter...would it still be okay to use for water or should I throw it out? If a Britta filter would work as well as the filtration paper, it just seems easier to use something that's available at stores instead of having to order something from a medical supply company and wait for it. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to filter out any of the active ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 You can use a piece of white cotton cloth as a filter. I have been doing it for the last two years with no problem. If the cloth is big enough, you can squeeze the liquid through (just wash your hands beforehand).

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I think that good filtration plays a key role in eliminating or lessening some of the common side effects sometimes assoiciated with oleander soup, namely those of the nausea and loose stools. I have seen some of the science that explains how better filtration removes certain organic compounds that can cause such problems until the body is acclimated - but more importantly, I have friends and relatives who have taken, or are taking, Anvirzel orally and they report little or zero of such side effects.Speaking of side effects, I have had a report from a relative of a rash from the waist to the neck. He takes Anvirzel. No itching and it did not appear until 11 days after he began, so I am not even sure there is a connection.If anyone else has had a similar problem, let us know.And as to the question of re-using a Britta or any other kind of filter - I would say do not!TonyMarc Swanepoel <marcswan wrote: You can use a piece of white cotton cloth as a filter.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks Rich, I'll look into it.Janet2009/4/24 <richmaj Janet, I have a MultiPure. What matters, is that you use a filter with a solid carbon membrane. They are somewhat pricey, but what's the cost of health? I also advocate Reverse Osmosis units.
