little remark (friendly) in passing ...:

3) regret for bubble water ....

but the beneficial and primordial aspect of the intrinsic quality of water vis-à-vis health ...... absent!

this is not a criticism eh ..., it's just to point out a usual fact, which I see very regularly on various forums , that we generally care more about "improving" your drinking water, and this by avoiding emptying the wallet (I mean wallet and not wallet!), but rarely do we approach or we are really looking for solutions purely qualitative and beneficial of this water, which by its real quality is nevertheless essential to us ....

but I would say that it is perhaps a little normal, because .... not really "in the mores" .... : Cry:

Yes, it seems logical to me that it is better to consume filtered tap water than canned water, for the reasons you said. Even if surely there are better solutions, as Econology says, it is a simple means that does not require a large installation (when you are a tenant, for example).


Greetings, ladies and lovely damsels :D

I have been using Brita filters for years and ... I have never had any health problems because of them, but true to my reputation as a sagacious man (does it annoy you?)
I cleaned the machine with each change of filter, I also point out to you that it is better to drink this filtered water there: 1 ° because it tastes good, 2 °: because it is infinitely less expensive than water in bottle and 3 °: it is therefore also more economical :D

Notice to fans, for 2 years, Lidll stores have been selling a much cheaper equivalent (Anna)! filters and jugs are half price and same result

Is the reverse osmosis unit difficult to install and does the water that comes out taste good? personally, I like the nature spa-style water of our Ardennes (although when I see their production, I wonder if it is not made with Brita-style filters!)

good morning, home!

Hello Lietseu,
If you had typed "osmosis principle", on google, you could have found this:
http://aquafish.free.fr/osmoseur/osmoseurs.htm
If you read everything, slowly and well, you will see that your idea of ​​osmosis is very bad.
Starting with the very poor performance of the system, then drink water without minerals?, In short you will see, everything is well explained.

We cannot speak of "poor performance" for osmosis because it is on the contrary the best performance (cost 0.4 to 0.8 € per m3 in industrial installation) ... millions of people, especially in Spain, drink from the tap osmosis water (desalinated sea water and recycled water) and also water their crops with elsewhere, but indeed, for the drink, it is enriched in salts and minerals after filtration ...

In this case if we are talking about performance for an individual, who pays dearly for water from his tap.

: Arrow: A home reverse osmosis "seller" dipped electrodes into a glass of water from my tap and "revealed" the contents ...
After a few seconds a mud appeared at the bottom of the glass and an oily layer on the surface.

He explained that the treatments clarified the water to make it visually acceptable, but there was still a lot of shit in it.

I have not signed an installation / rental contract for its reverse osmosis unit. I consider this to be a commercial scam.
However, my parents-in-law having water that had become undrinkable in the Dordogne, I bought a set of 2 Brita decanters (the 2nd offered). We tried and found that even at home where the water is suitable, it got better. This was even more noticeable for tea, coffee, cooking.

So I offered the second carafe to my parents-in-law after having "validated" the product at home. Their water has finally become drinkable and no more stomach aches with it. :D

At home, after 2 months, I was tired of filling the carafe 3 times with each meal and especially of waiting for it to be filtered. :frown:

So I went to the filter under sink with fountain tap on the sink. I found a correct and inexpensive product (30 €) with a two-component cartridge at 4.5 € for 4000 liters with which I am very satisfied.

I blame the decanters for the excessive price of the cartridges and their very tedious maintenance because they are not made of glass.

Hello and thank you !

You answer two questions at once, I do indeed have an aquarium with warm water fish, but I realize that I will not need this type of device before ... that I move : Cheesy:

For the aquarium freaks, just a little information: I use a product called easy-life you will find info http://www.easylife.nl/francais/index.html

10ml / 30l of water is effective and inexpensive to use :D

Greetings, eco-friendly friends

Note: in most organic stores there is a refillable filter kit which fits most filter jugs (notably Lidl) but not Britta jugs which have a specific filter format.
It is a cartridge which opens thanks to a system of baillonettes and several sachets of coal / resin mixture to put in the cartridge.
When the filter has run out, the cartridge is opened, the filter mixture is discarded and the cartridge is refilled.
Of course, only refills are sold too.

: Cheesy: Hello Targol Yes, I know the refills you are talking about, you had already mentioned them above, and I have seen them at biocoop.

As I wrote, the filter jugs, I don't find it practical ... :frown:

See you one of these 4? :P
