Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Believe it or not, your best bet is to put out $150. for an RO (Reverse Osmosis) unit or a water distillery. Sears has a good little unit for under $200. Much cheaper than bottled water, and with a family of 4 would pay for itself in just 2 or 3 months.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 If you rent, best is to go with the portable distillery since the RO requires a permanent change to the plumbing.

I would gladly pay the money for it though cause we easily can spend that much and more on water.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 This would require a bit of handy-man skills, but there are coupling kits that you can get to temporarily attach a dishwasher to a kitchen sink faucet. You unscrew the standard faucet aerator and install a specially shape aerator - so you have the same function so far. You can then attach the adaptor to this - it has a feed and return line which would normally be water feed to the dishwasher and then wastewater from the dishwasher. These are large diameter hoses that you would have to buy adaptors to get down to the small hoses found in RO units. The feed would be the RO feed, and the wastewater hose would be for the " blowby " water from the RO. You could then either use a large " milk carton " style box or just build a box to house the RO filter and its accumulator, which then could sit on the floor or the kitchen cabinet next to the sink if space allows. The main concern would be the integrity of the faucet seals since the seal at the base of the faucet where it pivots would be under full pressure. Of course you'ld have the same problem if you hooked up a portable dishwasher too! The other concern is that the RO should only be fed cold water! Installing a 1/4 turn ball valve in the feed line where the size adaptors are would be very helpful. That way when you need the sink for other purposes you would: 1. turn off the 1/4turn 2. turn off the facuet 3. remove the adaptor (or click the by-pass valve if the adaptor has on) 4. use the faucet 5. run cold water until cold at the faucet end 6. reattach adaptor (or click by-pass to feed) 7. turn faucet to cold and on 8. turn the 1/4 turn valve to on. This also would leave the RO unit under pressure while you are using the sink, for at least a little bit more filtering time.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Filter your own tap water and fill stainless steel water bottles (for example Kleen Kanteen). Linda Kassy R <relivarkansas Friday, August 29, 2008 8:29:29 AM Bottled Water I would be grateful for any suggestions for a healthy alternative to bottled water. I have four kids that are very involved with sports, and we seem to go thru cases of bottled water. Glass containers are not going to be the safest at a sporting event, so what options do I have. Maybe there isn't an answer. Thanks, Kassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi Kassy, Although glass is best, there are safer plastics out there that don't leach chemicals. Check the recycling symbol on your bottles. These are safe plastics: #2 HDPE #4 LDPE #5 PP You can't depend on what the manufacturers claim. I've seen a lot of bottles that say " doesn't leach plastic taste. " But most are #7, polycarbonate, which actually may leach the harmful chemical BHA (a potent xenoestrogen). Almost all reusable water bottles are made from polycarbonate - it took me a while to find a safe bottle to take to work. I ordered mine from Nalgene. http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/ So I would recommend getting a good water filter for your home (if you don't have a well). You'll save a ton of money and create a lot less waste. Just make sure the filters are tested by an independent third party. Aquasana seems to be one of the leaders in high quality filters. http://www.aquasana.com/ Don't drink distilled water unless you add back the minerals. Distilled water is very acidic and the lack of minerals not only makes the water dead, but it leaches minerals out of your body through osmosis. Not good! Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I vote for the thermoses as well. We just bought some ourselves. Bottled water creates unnecessary waste! It's funny as I had to explain to my 8-year-old what a thermos was but now she's way on board.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Just wanted to throw something kind of interesting in on the topic of water bottles. I work for Walmart, and the store I work for is trying to be greener in their ways, and they are promoting their workers to use thermoses or the reusable, washable bottles instead of the bottled water.
