subject: Finding the Best Drinking Water Purifier For My Family [print this page] Finding the Best Drinking Water Purifier For My Family
When my wife and I decided to get a water purifier, we had no idea what kind to get. In fact, we didn't even know what kinds of water purifiers were even available to us. All we knew is we wanted the best purifier possible.
The first thing we had to do was decide what kind would best serve our needs. We did not think we needed a whole-house filter; and we did not have much room underneath our kitchen sink with all those pots and pans and several of my tools.
So we decided to go for a countertop filter. It would be very affordable and wouldn't take up much room at all. Then we had a sample of our tap water tested to see what kinds of contaminants it might have. We were shocked to find out that there was a level of arsenic slightly higher than the EPA deems to be acceptable. So we decided to buy an arsenic filter to specifically target our problem, and hence the brand new countertop arsenic filter sitting on our kitchen table this very minute. Now, obviously this kind of purifier wouldn't be the best for everyone: some people would be better off with a ceramic filter or a reverse osmosis system or what-have-you. The important thing is to do the research and arrive at the best decision that you can, and don't be afraid to ask for help so you can get the best drinking water purification system for your exact needs.
