Hmm. .. I would still filter but that's just me -- here is why .

Typically, Mendip water is treated with microstrainers, slow sand filtration and chlorination.

Emphasis mine. And most municpal water has flouride added

Our tap water is filtered through Milwaukee and we live right next to one of the main water towers and actually have very good water -- about a decade ago Milwaukee had terrible crytosperidium and deaths related to it. S ince then, they've cleaned up the water significantly and actually have high quality water.

If we couldn't afford our current filter, I would use a cheap sediment filter that advertises chlorine and flouride removal. I won't do reverse osmosis again because it's ph is as acidic as sprite - we tested it . I saw on a website that RO was acidic so I couldn't wait to test it . Our tap water's ph was SIGNIFICANTLY higher than our reverse osmosis water. Our tap water was slightly above neutral (7.5). Our RO water was a 5 or 5.5. Can't test it to find out exactly as we disconnected it


Just my I know every family is different and am not trying to tell people not to use reverse osmosis. I am just being honest and sharing my journey

I will admit that I was near broken hearted to know we were giving a cancer patient acidic water Especially almost the only thing we drink is water.

OUr water filter is now a higher priority than our food budget. I once read 3 most important thingsyou can do for your body
1. breathe right (abdomen)
2. drink GREAT water
3. sleep enough
