Water Well Filters

Just would like to hear from people that have used the Brita system...
Does your water taste better?
Do you think it removes chemicals?
Stuff like that...
Thanks!

A: I've owned nothing but Brita for several years now and am happy with the results the filters give. You do have to change them, they certainly don't last forever, but all systems are the same way.

I like the way my Chicago water tastes after it has been filtered. I can definitely taste the difference between filtered and un-filtered water

Do you have any idea how to care for your fish pond in the winter time? A Goldfish and Koi has a metabolism that is governed by the water temperatures. When the water cools down, the fish need less protein in their diet. If they are fed a high protein food in winter, the excess protein gets excreted as ammonia from the fish`s gills.

There are microscopic organisms that make up the biological filter, which eliminates ammonia that will slow down in cool water as well. If you are not feeding your pond fish proper seasonal feedings, it will lead to a toxic build-up of ammonia and this in turn, stresses out the fish and decreases their winter survivability.

When it comes to safe drinking water, those who drink from private wells must be aware of the possibility of contamination. Well water, which if privately owned, does not, by law, have to be treated for bacteria or mineral removal. This can lead to serious health issues if the water becomes contaminated. Well water contamination can occur naturally, or it may occur because of human activity. For those who live in rural areas, fertilizers and certain types of pesticides can also contaminate well water. When fertilizers or pesticides come into contact with rain water or snow melt, they can mix with the water and flow into the well itself or seep into the well through the soil. Some brands of fertilizers contain nitrogen....

Bottled water has been proven to contain actual parasites and cysts in it, as well as traces of plastic which are all strongly believed to be harmful to your long term health,tap water can be a source of bacterial, viral or chemical contamination since the municipal water treatment process doesn’t remove all the contaminants from it.

Furthermore, municipally treated water is subject to city pipes which have the potential to infect the water after it leaves the water treatment stage. Common contaminants left behind in tap water include hard shelled parasites such as cryptosporidium and giardia which are protected by a tough outer coat and thus resistant to chlorine. Also, due to their small size, they can often slip through local water purification treatments unharmed and end up in your stomach.
