+1 for Berkey. They aren't cheap, but what is your health worth to you?
Maybe better to get creek/stream water then filter that, cleaner starting point.
Most shower filters won't filter the flouride, other than maybe 10-15%. The only one I did see that could filtered only 50% and was like 90 dollars. Still better than nothing though, because there is a lot of nastiness that they will get.
Might even help with male pattern baldness if you can get a good shower filter.
Probably easier to drink bottled water maybe?
Well I live across the pond. If you buy bottled water it's almost always bottled at source from natural springs which means no fluoride.
If it's like NZ "spring water" doesn't actually have to be spring water.
Soft plastics are the ones know to be phthalates based. The ones that break down into stuff like xenestrogen, a synthetic molecule similar to estrogen that disrupts human hormones.
Also would you trust a bottled water company to do something as expensive as filtering fluoride? Maybe if it came from a country where they dont add fluoride to the water would it be free? But otherwise, it'd have fluoride.
And drink plastic?
Check their water quality reports. It will list most potential contaminants and how much of it is in the water. If you’re a Costco member, Kirkland water isn’t supposed to be bad.
Careful with Berkey. I have one that I don’t use anymore. The water was constantly cloudy after installing the fluoride filters (properly, with lots of rinsing). Turns out that the fluoride filter uses aluminum to filter out fluoride and aluminum was seeping into the water making it cloudy.
I would not trust it. I don’t think they changed their design and I saw others complaining about similar issues. One reviewer even started to have health issues from the high quantities of aluminum he was ingesting.
I read that about Berkey filters. It has a sort of trade off, you get some aluminum contamination but if filters out the fluoride. Aluminum is not something you really want to be drinking either. I never read about making the water cloudy though.
The cloudiness was why I suspected something was amiss. Then I checked reviews.
