Tap water is scary. That's why I started selling water filters.

Interesting, my friend Victoria just started selling tap water filters too, her
outfit is called Equinox and she's *very* gung ho about it. She really believes
they have a good solution and she's even doing some whole house filters. We did
a little web search one day and found there a lot of people out there doing this
on different levels.
How did you come up with the brand you're selling and what brand is it?
Did you do much research on this?

Equinox just had a huge split up. In 1996 they were named the fastest growing company in the US (privately held) but their profits have dropped off drastically in the past 2 years. The company also just lost 26 of its top money earners! They are in trouble, so to speak. Their water filter still does not have an NSF rating and they've been after one for 4 years.

Hmm. I'll have to let Victoria know about this, if she doesn't already know.

Where did you see this? Victoria would like to know. She says the people they
lost are putting "hate stuff" on the Internet.

I would be real interested in getting a reality check on water filters,
there's way too much smoke around this now and I hope Victoria isn't being
lead down the garden path. She's put way too much in to Equinox to have
it be a bust.
Can we separate fact from fiction? I wouldn't mind having a water
filter on my home, but I'm very confused about who's got the best
solution.
Perhaps, Stacey, you can clear the air.

You want one that eliminates chlorine (biggest offender), and then if you've an older home or older pipes... lead. Right now the big hype is on bateria and there are a few water filters who take care of that.
more later.

We got a reverse osmosis filter, a big one, at Home Depot and it's been doing a good job.
