When you’re shopping for a water filter, you need to look for a product with selective filtering.  This means that the filter will remove only selected contaminants and not filter out the beneficial trace minerals that make water healthy to drink.

One of the downsides to using distilled water, or water from a reverse osmosis system, is that all  the good properties of the water–the minerals–have been inadvertently stripped out along with the bad stuff.  Reverse osmosis water is not the best water for drinking quality and cooking.

In fact, water that has been filtered with reverse osmosis is often acidic (pH is less than 7), and acidic water is known to be bad for you, especially the longer you drink it.  A body with an acidic pH is more prone to diseases of all types, including cancer.

When you’re evaluating a water filter system, read the product performance sheet to get guidelines on performance Many times this data sheet will also list the costs per gallon for filtered water, and the filter replacement costs.  This makes it rather easy for you to determine which filter is the right one for you, and at what cost.  Usually, a chart is provided that lists all of the contaminants that each filter will remove, and what percentage.  This makes it a lot easier to pick the right filter for the water quality and price range that you require.

Also check independent consumer reviews of products to get information and opinions on customer satisfaction with water filters. One of the highest rated brands for several years in a row is the Aquasana water filters. Best of all, the Aquasana brand isn’t even the most expensive brand. So you can get a great water filter, and healthy water for less money.
