My son is joining university in Toronto, and the univ has suggested bringing a water filter. When I lived there 8 years ago in Mississauga, I never filtered water.

I’m using a water filter for drinking which consist of a four stage catridge: activated carbon, silica sand, zeolite and mineral sand. Lately, I notice very small particles sentiment at the bottom of the mineral pot where the filtered water is stored. I believe this is from the filter catridge as there are large pores where the particles may pass through. Does this render the water unsafe for consumption?

why is that. it looks like a white dust in the water. If you let it set for a few minutes it will almost completely dissolve. I’d like to know what that is, and if its bad to drink.
the water filter is supposed to be really sophisticated, and be of better quality than arrowhead bottled water.

I just moved into an apartment and the water is awful. When it first comes from the faucet, it tastes fine but smells like metal or rust, but then after leaving it out for a while, it tastes metallic. Would getting a faucet or water pitcher filter give me safe drinking water? Should I start buying bottled water instead of a filter?

I have hard water with lots of iron in it. We have a water softener to combat this. If we didn’t have the softener, our water would be orange coming out of our faucets. It’s not that good to be drinking water with the softener salt in it, especially now that I’m pregnant. What would be the best water filter for me? Should I get one that attaches to the faucet or a pitcher with a filter?

What do you guys think about Crystal Quest products? Is it one of the better ones or not?
Or what about the Water Filters at walmart- which one is better to go for?
(Just trying to decide which Water Filter is the best to use, for when I finally do buy one.)

I only need a small water filter, counter top. I don’t know why I can’t make one, but it has been difficult to find information, instruction or ingredients.
I would think that carbon would be one ingredient. I want the water to taste better, and remove the bad minerals, and organisms. I don’t want to remove the good minerals.
I live in a high rise that is about 60 years old, and it uses city water. The city is on the shore of Lake Michigan.
I really don’t want to put a lot of money into buying a counter top water filter system, since I’m on Social Security, and have to cut costs as many ways as possible.
Some things I’ve learned in my searches, is that the carbon can become contaminated over time, and should be changed periodicly. I also learned that batting below the carbon can remove small pieces of the carbon. But, are there other ingredients I need, and how do I build it?
