Drink some of the water filtered by your candidate. No matter how expensive it is, it may taste revolting or be warm. You have to fill the Brita filter once a day, but you can keep it nice and cold in the fridge.

[@ICheat_ILie_ISteal]

For every gallon of water you clean.... You are flushing out 3-5gallon down the pipe. Depends on where you live that's about 0.030cent per 1gallon of water or $3+ per HCF. If your family drink/use 10gallon a day you are looking at 300 a month. That's 900gallon of water down the pipe. 900x0.030cent= $27 a month. That's equal to 216 16oz bottle spring water(depends on brand). If your tap water is below 80 TDS, you can save money by removing the RO membrane and use just the filters. Removing the copper taste/ bleach taste and filtering out any rust but still keep all those beneficial minerals.

[@thelegendarykevininsales7589]

The whole house filter seems the best one option here for me. One stop, fix all. Changing the filter once a month is not a lot of work

[@sirreginaldthe4th]

Just don't use a TDS meter, that's not an indicator of water quality. You can check your cities annual water report if you're concerned over it. That's likely going to be the same water that reaches your tap unless you have lead in your house pipes or corroding plumbing in your home.

[@mvblitzyo]

love this channel just had my water tested ..

[@Jeff-vp8bn]

For City water, can I put two water filters before a water softener? A sediment & then a carbon, to protect the water softener, or will that restrict flow too much? I wanted to then have the line then split to a R/O line & the regular line, & put a carbon on the water regular line going to the showers & sink. Concerned about water drop flow rate with 3, 4 filters

[@Windiguana]

Honestly a carbon filter isn't going to do much in terms of 'protecting' a water softener, a sediment filter however isn't a bad option to put before (and I've seen them pretty often after) a softener. There are sediment filters available in different flow rates, the flow rate will be dictated by both the filter size and the micron rating

[@daveidduha]

Great runthrough. My water smells like sewage and I rent an appartment. Not sure what to do, i guess ill start off small with a normal water filter and hope it gets rid of the smell.

Home Builders nowadays use soft plastic water piping. What is the best way to remove the BPA, and the family of forever chemicals for the water supply within the house?

[@kunj025]

Should consider the cost of replacement filter every 6 to 8 months or so. It can get very expensive in a hurry. Although, there are some filter replacements are available at a reasonable cost nowadays.Do your research in replacements filter costs before you plunge in to buy. RO systems tends to be more expensive in replacements filters and it also waste 2 to 3 gallons of water each day to produce filtered water. This process can get very expensive.

[@ryanshannon7703]

Yeah, most people don't need RO. It's just a giant waste of water and expensive to keep going. Let alone having to mount that huge @ss system somewhere for point of use. Most people would be fine with NSF 53 and call it a day. Plus, most don't understand that filters are typically rated by gallons filtered (depending upon how shite your water is).

[@Fickoch]

Thank you for this - learned about the water waste of that particular RO system- much appreciated🙏👆

[@ahgfl007]

Now you are most likely not going to like this idea, but rather than using the cold tap water, I use water from the hot faucet. It does taste better than coming from the cold side. The water piping in this 60 plus year old house is galvanized and the drainage is all cast iron using lead joints. Don't even think I'm going to change them now, the floor is 11" thick because the contractor didn't pay close attention to the blueprints where it specified terrazzo floors. So the slab [4"] got over slabbed another 4" and then 3" of terrazzo was poured onto it before it was ground smooth. The walls and ceilings have metal lathe and plaster on them. Roof is 5' on 16' using 1" thick x 6" and 8" tongue and groove lumber. Thus far that has held up to all of the hurricanes we get here in NW Florida.

[@Psychlist1972]

Not sure I understand why the hot water would taste better. It's also traveling through those pipes, unless you're saying you have copper or pex from the hot water heater to the sink. The drainage wouldn't have any impact on taste, because it's drain, not source.

[@ahgfl007]

Not anything of the type in the 60 plus year old house. Copper, I could wis, but it all of the original pipes The place started with a 100 amp breaker box, which we upgraded to a 200 amp box but that is m ounted outside the house.

[@Psychlist1972]

Strange then. I don't get why the hot would taste better than cold, unless you're *drinking* it while hot and whatever is dissolved in it stays dissolved. (I had assumed you were pulling water from the hot water tank and then letting it cool off)

[@davidpaullin9499]

is a 10" 3 stage water filtration system good for rain water collection systems. to make the water potable

[@SigmaTech]

That's actually very informative. I personally trust tap water- it's completely safe and all, but I absolutely HATE the taste. But I LOVE enjoying clean water! Now I know how you get that pure water taste! It's reverse osmosis rather than carbon filters!

[@detoxreset]

You are right about the taste. Many people don't actually like the taste of water (especially if chlorinated like most is). A lovely tasting water encourages you to drink more.

[@WastedMoment]

Moving to a new construction home in FL, so its going to be Well... I was wondering about doing two sediment filters and a whole house filtration system. Does it make sense to do a sediment filter before AND after the softener?

[@darkwaters1010]

I knew someone who got notices from the city explaining that her tap water is filled with raw sewage due to both kinds of pipes cracked and leaking. Though how raw sewage can leak into pressurized tap water pipes, which should push all outside contamination away from the insides of the pipes, I have no idea, except that the cracks must be serious. Her water did stink like piss and shit, even when she ran it through two carbon whole house filters. Even when she replaced both atnonce, no change. And she had an on demand hot water heater, so no hot water tank for concentrations to stew in.

[@casaraku1]

[@mark-]

Richard, How does the last filter (#8) get cleaned?

[@TedForbes21]

Operating an RO system might give purified water on demand but over all it is more expensive than just purchasing bottle water. Water bill is increased two to three times, the sewer is loaded with excess water and filter must be frequently replaced otherwise it defeats the purpose. Over all RO gives an additional monthly maintenance bill you didn’t have before. JUST BY THE WATER IN A BOTTLE.

[@TedForbes21]

[@SubieSteve241]

If you have the soft water system installed and run it to your refrigerator... Do you still need to use the refrigerator water filter? Is it bad for the system if the refrigerator water filter is used? Is it an more added effect for I guess extra filtered water?

[@trezythirdy3527]

whats the difference in functionality of a filter that’s just attached to the faucet vs bigger one?

[@ryanshannon7703]

What you're really looking for is what the filter is designed to extract from your water. Most are just for flavor (NSF 42). If you really know what's coming through your tap then this could be perfectly fine to use. If you're unsure and you have a history of garbage water from the municipality (like Flint, Michigan or Jackson MS) then you'll want to go at least NSF 53. Those filters are certified to remove nearly all toxic chemicals/heavy metals from your water. Typically, the larger the surface area of the filter medium the more gallons it can filter. If it's one that's added to the end of the faucet it probably won't last too long. (I would think maybe 3 months or less). There are larger under the sink filters that can filter 1,500 gallons or more, and you don't have to add an extra drinking water only faucet. It just hooks straight from your cold water line to the existing faucet. There is a list of filters if you Google NSF and look at their independently tested filters for 53 certification.

The replaceable filters with the clear housings are known to crack, and fill your basement or crawlspace with water. Always invest in a flood alarm.

@@ratskate9951 Yes it is safe for the majority of municipal tap water. The standards for water quality for tap water are higher than bottled water, for example.
