How To Get Clean Drinking Water in Today's World

There are quite a few contaminants and chemicals in what we drink and bathe in. If you're like me, you want a simple way to get cleaner drinking water at home.

Headlines about water quality appear often. Municipal treatment also adds chlorine, and many supplies include fluoride.

The Environmental Working Group has also reported hundreds of contaminants in U.S. tap water, even after treatment.

How To Get Cleaner Drinking Water Quickly And Easily

Tap water is treated to meet legal standards, but that does not mean every family loves the taste or the extra chemicals.

Cheap pitcher filters from the store often reduce little more than chlorine, and the replacements add up.

A quality reverse osmosis filter can reduce many contaminants, but it also strips healthy minerals and typically wastes water.

If you want cleaner tap water quickly and easily, look at a gravity water filter.

Do your own research. After years of comparing options, a gravity-fed countertop filter is the shortcut I recommend.

I use a countertop filter that works by gravity through micro-porous elements.

Those elements reduce VOCs, pesticides, and trihalomethanes. They also reduce heavy metals at high rates in available testing.

How To Get Cleaner Drinking Water - Affordable

Some systems cost $1,000 or more and still do less than a good gravity filter for daily tap water.

Other systems cost around $500, then need expensive replacements every few months.

My suggestion is to find a gravity water filter that reduces the contaminants listed above. Look for long-life elements and published lab testing.

Official replacement filters are the Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition filters.

How to get cleaner drinking water at home can start with a Berkey on the counter. No plumbing. No electricity.
