How do you filter the water from your kitchen sink?

Posted by Amanda on February 6, 2007, 3:03 pm

Three years ago, I have bought the one just like the one below but
mine is with the filter in the front compartment. I really loves it.
I used it filtered water for rinsing everything I eat and in cooking
too.

Starting middle or early last year, I was having porblem to get the
same exact filter replacement made for my PUR dispenser. Late last
year, I called the manufacturer and was told that the filters that say
on the box "for all pitchers and dispenser" would work. In fact,
that's the one I had been using when I couldn't get the kind that came
with the dispenser I bought. See the filters here http://
www.jgdesign.com/datasheets/
Targe_Pur_Plus_Water_Filtration_Dispenser.htm

I don't know whether the filter location makes a difference; mine is
in the front area. So the problem I was getting with every filkter I
bought was that, they'd stopp working w/o finishing the cycle (the red
indicator stopped moving) and also, didn't stop the water flow
probably because it didn't reach the end of the cycle.

I am a fan of pur; used to use faucet mount before but gave uo after
breaking several ones.
I don't want a bigger dispenser because I am going to move to an
apartment (preferably in another city) from this family owned house. I
don't want to buy too many things due to potential space issue in my
future place.

Early on after moving to this place, neighbor would have helped me if
I wanted to install under the sink filtration but then he would want
to get into my bed too. Frankly, I don't want to put such a filtration
system. I don't like pitchers either. I keep this dispenser on the
counter, not in the fridge.

One thing I can do is move this dispenser to my bedroom - I don't
drink enough water and this would rmake me drink when I get up. But I
need to get a filtration system?

Any recommendation what I should get? Should get under the sink one
and then take it with me when I move? If so, which one is the easiet
to install?

My friend who's strated a second job is quiting the old one and he
will have time to help me. He is 28 or 29 but the being baby, he
never had to do anything like this cus his brothers took care of
things. But I think we can manage to install. I want that kind of
system only if I can take it with me.

Even with the filtered faucet water in the kitchen sink, I can filter
drinking water again (via a pitcher to save space) if that is a better
way to go, ie. not put expensive under-the-sink system because I'll be
washing pots and pans and what not.

Any recommendation what I should get if there is an under-the-sink
system that's easy to install and remove? If there is no such thing
that are easy to install, I guess I should just get another dispenser
like the one I have.

What substances are you trying to filter out? What is the name of the local
water authority where your tap water comes from?

In your other thread, you said you were moving, so installing a thermostat
was out of the question. Now, you're talking about installing a water
filter. What's with the contradiction?

I said "if I can take the water filter off easily and take it with
me".

I am not in need of a thermostat but am in need of a water filter.
Do you use logic based on facts presented before you criticize?

This is a link to your water quality report. It links directly to a PDF
file, so if your computer pauses while that program loads, don't think
something spooky's going on.

By the way, you can take a thermostat with you.
