recommend an undersink water filter
|

| mook Johnson 2008-02-07, 3:25 am |
| I'm looking for a undersink water filter for using to make baby formula
bottles. I know tap water is usually perfectly healthy but I just want an
extra stage of filtration before giving it to me new little one.
Nothing fancy like a RO but just a good no BS water filter.
GE, culligan, whirlpool? anyone have one that they like?

Any of them will work just fine and the cartridges are interchangeable
between brands.

LOL. Abe, I've pointed out (above) where the OP mentions what he/she
requires filtered water for.

I have an under sink reverse osmosis filter that was put in for drinking
water because of arsenic. I have sense moved it to the basement under
the kitchen sink area. You don't want that bulky crap under your sink,
no room for anything else. Much of the bottled water you buy has been
reverse osmoses filtered. It removes everything including salt. But as
another person said, you're better off feeding your baby with your
nipples than worrying about formula.

If you trust the tap water, why in the world do you want to make
raising the kid any more difficult? Don't obsess, just enjoy. The
filters aren't sterile, anyway.

I'm using the Whirlpool from Lowes. We had a slight bad taste in the water
and now the water tastes great, looks great and cooks great. Very easy to
change filters without shutting off the water supply.

I've been using a Multi-Pure filter and sink nozzle setup at home for
years now, and also using the same filter in the water feed line to our
office hot-chilled water dispenser.
They're not the cheapest, but they're the best.

Hi,
RO filter with good maintenance. Important part is maintaining it not
just having it installed.

RO water for an infant could be VERY bad, or possibly even fatal.

Yes, change the filters yearly. Big job.

An adult might be able to detect taste differences in water
(especially the Colorado River water on the Left Coast...ugh!), but
using an infant as an excuse to put in some sort of filtration for
making up formula is absurd. Face it, if you don't like the water
quality, then rag the city about it. My $.02.
