September 13, 2006 | 10:55 AMIf u buy a Reverse Osmosis water filtration system. The more expensive system - 3 filter and membrane ($300) The GE 2 filter and a membrane ($200.) I think from experience, the GE is less expensive and don’t forget in 1-year, u have to change filters ($10.00) ea. and in 3 years, the membrane has to be change ($80.). Ur call. Handyman price 4- installation. ($75.- $150.) depends on what he/she have to do. Hubby or Boy friend/ or u can do- (FREE).

After sales services are very very poor.

September 17, 2006 | 4:35 PMThere are many different filter options available to you and each one has its own considerations. For example, if you are buying a whole-house filter, then consider oversizing it so you can increase time between change-outs. Most likely, though, you are buying a drinking water filter, then taste is probably your main concern, so look at an R/O system with multiple stages of pre-filtration. R/O will filter to the finest level possible and the prefilters will increase the life of the expensive membrane.

September 19, 2006 | 12:47 PMThe first step is to know exactly what’s in your water. You want to buy the best water filter–countertop, wholehouse, or undersink. Testing your water will confirm the type of contaminants in your water. You can also contact your water supply authority and find out if they do free water testing. If you have well water, I suggest you contact a testing lab, or purchase a water testing kit.
Also, make sure the water treatment you buy is NSF-certified. This will give you the confidence that the manufacturer’s removal claim has been verified by an independence agency.
