RE: Purified Drinking Water! How Pure Is It? Why are companies adding chemicals?
I use a PUR brand faucet mount and they make a basic filter that filters most everything out and then a filter that filters but then remineralizes the water, the remineralised water is much better tasting and quenches your thirst a lot better. I was hearing about someone developing gout as a result of drinking RO water that was too pure. It will leach the minerals out of you if it contains none.
It's interesting that pure water would absorb the minerals from your body. At the moment it seems bottled water is a necessary evil for me ast times as I am on the move quite often around Vietnam, I will look at what the options are on small itsy bitsy water filters or at least try to find distilled water brands though generally the options for bottled water are Coca Cola, Pepsi, or Nestle and they all taste metallic and pretty horrible. I will have to solve this problem.
I was looking at water filters the other day and I saw a product called the pressurized jerry can filter that was on Amazon, you can scoop up 4 gallons of questionable water and filter it, I might pick one up for boating and camping. Bottled water is terrible because it is full of plastic no matter the brand or where you get it. I have tried several faucet mount brands and been pretty happy with the PUR.
