Under the Sink Water Purifiers?

haven't bought one myself, but am strongly considering switching, because bottled water (including the big tongshui bottles) are not necessarily safe to drink from.

What kind of building do you reside in? Even if I had an IQAir quality water filter, I would not trust the water coming through the pipes of some of these Soviet-era buildings and facilities. No matter what the authorities say, I would not believe that the tap is safe enough.

I have been using a reverse osmosis under the water filter for 3 years now, and we are very very happy with it.

It is a multi tank unit that goes under the sink, and produces reverse osmosis water which is so pure it is almost like distilled water. He can also provide an on the wall unit that offers instant hot and warm water - this is great for tea, coffee, instant soup and just general drinking. We love that there is no water sitting around in plastic bottles of unknown origin.
I know distilled/R-O water is not the 100% best option as we all do need minerals... but my theory is, with all the crap in Beijing water, I would prefer to have next to nothing in my water!! I feel we get enough minerals from our fruits, vegetables, foods, and in beijing probably the air we breath.
We use it for washing our fruit, veggies, rice; cooking; filling humidifiers... everything!

As for Aquasana, we do use their shower filter, and that has made a difference for all of our skin.

I used have one a couple of years back- consisted of 3 canister filters, a uv filter, a water pump, and a pressure tank. Nice piece of work. The area where I used to live had really hard, impure water. I don't remember the brand, do know it was French though. Worked like a charm. Water coming out of the output faucet is considerably low pressure. The filter membranes needed replacing every couple of months; that's the only maintenance you'll have to do. And also they don't come cheap.
I wouldn't recommend a local brand, at least not the filter membranes. If you want to cut on costs, get the local hardware but opt for EU approved membranes.

Hi,

Can you tell me what is the brand of RO filter that you are using ?

There seem to be several options but no reliable reviews. If you are happy with the one you use, probably I will go with the same as well.

I think the main problem that everyone says with RO filters is the slow speed of water, is that the case ?

And you would rather trust the bottled water here?

Most decent water filtration systems can reduce or eliminate heavy metals. Even a Brita jug can significantly reduce most heavy metals.
