How important is clean drinking water to you? I tested my iSpring RCC7 5 Stage RO water filter system and compared it to my tap water and fridge faucet which are already filtered.
There’s a lot of reasons why I decided to invest in this water filtration system, even though the town I live in has relatively clean water when compared to others. But the main reason is that cheaper filters on the market including whole house filters and refrigerator filters don’t remove all the chemicals that you think they do. Cleaner water equals cleaner body, and that sounds like a good idea for me.

Reverse Osmosis water purification scam: Hidden camera investigation (CBC Marketplace]
Companies are selling these 5 stage water filtration systems for thousands of dollars in Canada scamming people. These filters work, the scam comes from overcharging and misleading the public.
If you enjoy reverse osmosis bottled water like Aquafina, you’ll love a RO water filtration system. However, I would stay away from alkaline systems!
