Dear all,

    I have this one http://www.esold.com.au/water-filtration-system-twin-stage-k…

    works well and easy to install

    Either get a filter that accepts standard sized 10" cartridges (2: polyprop and carbon), or don't bother.

      I second that.

      A real ozbargainer would just hook one of those strait up onto a tap.

      Gets the job done.

      Can you provide a link/recommendation?

        There are undersink and countertop systems on ebay for less than $100.
        Get dual-filter, with standard 10" cartdridges.

        I just saw that "Digi Pure 9000s" on ebay, and they make some BS claims.
        The old "Research shows that you need at least 8 glasses of water every day to regulate your body temperature and get rid of toxins accumulated during daily life." - a lie, or old wives tale at best.

        I'd assume you must be in a rental if you want a countertop unit?
        Otherwise, under-sink is better, and not hard to install DIY.

          any suggestion on a good under sink filter easy to install but effective ?

  • rustyz on 09/05/2012 - 14:28

    Manic yeah on rental,so have very little choice, only can look at digi pure such product. Which claim up to 5 nm. Not sure how effective that is.

    • bargaino on 11/05/2012 - 15:39

      They are all effective. It is a question of for how long, and at what cost. Again, I recommend standard 10" twin cartridges.

    Do these take out the fluride? I think it is a good thing for teeth.

    • Trance N Dance on 11/05/2012 - 00:20

      Most if not all charcoal based filters don't filter out fluoride (and IIRC they don't filter out heavy metals either)

    • bargaino on 11/05/2012 - 15:36

      No, salts are not affected unless you get reverse osmosis.
      If you are on a normal municipal water supply, you just want the 2-stage.
      The charcoal will filter out unpleasant tastes, including chlorine.

        I guess many just live with the salt in the water. RO is too expensive

    I am against these filters They miss a lot of vitamins
