We for many years like most have been drinking water filtered by one method or another,
Our families dream has been to dig a well or bore hole and drink water filtered by the heavy clay that our house is built on.
Well as you can appreciate wells and holes cost money, so we have bought a rain (the brochure details says any river, stream, well, rain, tanked & tap) water filter.
It's a GS2 gravity water filter
from www.green-shopping.co.uk (http://www.green-shopping.co.uk)
it holds 9 litres and takes around 10 hours to filter a tank, once you have flushed the filters through it only needs topping up. So the 10 hours is not a problem.
If you have the space imagine taking it on holiday? suddenly fresh spring water or locally sourced river water, no more bottled water?
It costs £98.50 and filters which need to be bought in pairs cost £25 each and depending on usage every 6 - 12 months (filters do 4000ltr) so our family of 3 would be looking at 12 months a much larger family 6 months.
Flouride-you can buy additional Flouride filters as the unit can take 4 different filters the filters that come with it are Sugarlite, ceramic filters.
They filter-bacteria, parasites, heavy metals, chemicals, organic and other matter.
For us this has been a money saving purchase as our existing filter system costs £70 a filter every 6 months!
