water filters for the home… is it worth it? what’s the difference between a filter and soft water?

i’ve noticed a definite difference in the quality of water from los angeles vs. las vegas or hawaii. i’ve recently vacationed at the latter cities and despite my frequent showers (at the beach, pool and hotel rooms) my skin didn’t feel dry at all.
But once i returned to my home my hair and skin have felt significantly dryer. i’ve been considering a water filter for the whole house or a soft water system. by the way, i’m not sure if there’s a difference. but i’m wondering if either of these will make any difference. i’ve already installed a filtered shower head, but i couldn’t notice a big difference.

some filters that are expensive do both like charcoal, osmosis or ozone.

Which water filter is the best for home drinking water?


Put in a reverse osmosis filter. It will produce the cleanest water possible, short of distillation. I installed the filter in my laundry room and the water line runs through the floor into the kitchen cupboards and supplies water to a small tap on the side of the sink. This saves undercounter space and allows easy filter access. I bought the system on eBay. Total price installed was about $130.

Home Water Filtering?

My wife and I just had a baby and we want better quality water for drinking, showering, laundry (less chlorinated and elimination of stuff like lead, etc). Possibly softer as well. We are limited in options because we are in a condo complex and our turn off valve is outside our garage. We already tried Lifesource Water Systems who sent a rep over and they couldn’t install a tank anywhere, so that ended up being fruitless. What are some other options I should consider? Thank you for your help.

Good system!

How to filter water for home use from the supply line ?

The water from the public supply line is full of sediments and very turbid. It cannot be used for washing utensils or clothes. A simple filtration is required atleast the water can be used for washing and for drinking as well.

They sell a small inline water filter at Lowe’s or Home Depot that’s about the size of a tea pitcher. It"s a heavy plastic like material that will hold a filter. There are many types of filters that you can buy depending on what you’re trying to remove from the water. You simply change the filter about every 3-6 months, they only cost a couple dollars a piece.

Home Water Filter – What are the little black things that come out of the filter?

I forget the type of filter, but on the top part (before the filter) tons of little black things keep coming out of it. This happens for all the filters even brand new. I noticed sometimes very small ones can get into my filtered water. What is this substance and is it safe?

It’s just charcoal that is used for the initial filtering process. It is harmless.

What is the best water filter that one can buy for my sink at home?


I prefer the Reverse Osmosis filters.
I purchased a filter at Sears and was able to install it myself. It should fit under the sink, but you could even install if in the basement and save the room. It really wasn’t too hard to install. The water comes out from a separate tap, which is next to the normal faucet.
Reverse Osmosis filters are available at home improvement stores, like Home Depot and Lowe’s, as well.
I find that they have greatly improved the taste of my water.

Best in line water filter system for home use?

Has anyone used a home inline water filter system they would recommend
The city water system is really bad.Well know for build up and corrosion.The dogs water bowl builds up with a clear hard like crust on the bottom.You have to scrub it out.The coffee pot needs complete cleaning every month.No smell to water.If this is any clues to a good filter system.

Here’s a site that lists a comparison table of 10 different filter systems, including links to discussions about water filtration.

Last year, I got an Aqua-Safe reverse osmosis system with 6-stage filtration (the RO membrane, one particulate filter, three carbon filters, and one ion exchange filter). It generates 100 gallons per day and comes with a 5 gallon storage tank. It cost about $200 and it came with a 5-year supply of replacement filters, including replacement ion resin beads. It takes my water from about 3000 PPM to under 5 (it even came with a digital PPM meter).

The water that comes out of it is as good as any I have ever tasted. We also have a line running from it to our refrigerator. So, the ice is very clear and the cold water coming from the dispenser is awesome.

I highly recommend a reverse osmosis system, if you have the room and can afford it.
