One of the first things we did was filter our tap water in the kitchen. We had one for the refrigerator but had gotten off schedule with filter replacements. This is a great first line defense you can do to remove toxins from your system.
Best Practices
● Filter your water.
● Set up calendar reminders on your phone so you don’t forget to change the filter regularly.
● Buy the replacement filters in a multi-pack so you can change them with no delay.
The Deets
We used the Pur system, which attaches to the faucet and gets in the way 98% of the time.
It had good ratings, and we purchased through Amazon.
The Drawbacks
The filters that attach to the faucet will slow the flow of water, which is a pain when you’re trying to fill a large pot to boil pasta. We are looking at under-mount systems right now, though they have their own drawbacks (under sink leaks, hard to change filter without contortionist moves).
I’ll update as we learn more.
