Is there a shower filter that will remove fluoride from my shower water? At this time we do not know of any shower filters on the market that will remove fluoride from your shower water. Fluoride is hard to remove from your water, a shower filter is so small that you would not be able to fit enough media in the filter to do any good at filtering the fluoride out; the water would not have enough contact time with the media to do any good.
Can Fluoride be absorbed through my skin? Some say that fluoride can be absorbed and others say it can’t be absorbed through the skin. There just have not been enough studies to know for sure, so we do not make any claims either way as we do not no for sure. Now on the other hand there are fluoride filters for your drinking water that work very well at removing fluoride, they can remove 95% or more. So if you are concerned about fluoride in your drinking water you might consider a countertop or under sink fluoride filter. Crystal Quest has 6, 7 and 8 stage countertop and under sink fluoride plus water filters that remove fluoride and hundreds of other contaminants from your drinking water, you can also get a fluoride filter for your refrigerator. They have fluoride removing media, KDF, ion exchange resin media and coconut shell carbon in them. Crystal Quest also has a portable 10 stage reverse osmosis system that will remove 95% or more of fluoride from your water along with hundreds of other contaminants. These are nice because you can take them were ever you go and have contaminant free water. They also have an add on cartridge you can get to put all the good minerals back in the water, as a reverse osmosis removes good and bad. LivingWaters also has a 5 stage fluoride countertop and under sink water filter that remove 95% or more of fluoride, bacteria and other contaminates from your drinking water. by: Quality Water Filters 4 You

  If the water you cook with or drink requires filtering, what sense does it make to shower in the same tap water? Now, if you've already put in a filter for your kitchen, or if you have resorted to consuming bottled water, you could have overlooked putting in a shower filter so that you could be sure you are bathing with very clean water. Shower filters are easy to install on shower heads, filtering an abundance of difference contaminants existing in tap water. Chlorine is a major contaminant in your shower water. Fortunately, a shower filter can easily remove this dangerous chemical. A hot shower produces heat which vaporizes chlorine and chloramine. Because chlorine is easily absorbed through the skin or inhaled in air, people with asthma are especially prone to having breathing difficulties. This could also make your hair as well as skin very dry, and it is related to weak hair as well as skin irritation. In regions with high levels of chlorine in the water source, you may feel fatigued after your shower, as the chlorine has bonded with other chemicals, creating chloroform. If this is indeed the case, then the shower filter is needed to make the shower water safe to use. Also, there exist many other contaminants that a lot of people do not think about, as they cannot be seen by the human eye. Heavy metals, sediment, and bacteria can all be found in tap water. Different contaminants in the water you use could be as dangerous, however you may not even realize they exist, until you filter them out and discover how much better your skin and hair feel. Even high-end car washes filter water to prevent leaving residue on car windows. Why would you want this same contaminated residue left on your body? The shower filter will take out these contaminants from the water supply. There are many dangers to showering without using a shower filter. Contaminants do get absorbed in the body through drinking water, as well as absorption through the skin and inhaling vaporized air when showering. A hot shower opens your pores as it vaporizes contaminants, causing absorption through the skin. As a result, exposure to harmful contaminants may be greater when showering than when actually drinking water. The shower filter will eliminate them, leaving you with a source of clean and healthy water to use. Selecting a pH balanced shower filter will help maintain your skin. You can get them in all sorts of different styles, and it is easy to find massaging shower heads and hand-held sprayers. You may discover a shower filter that fits your needs, at least in terms of style and features. Filtered water is critical for your health, however it needs to be convenient for it to be used. After you have put in a shower filter, you will use the shower as you normally would use it, requiring no change in your schedule to receive the benefits of showering in very clean water.   by: Quality Water Filters 4 You

 If you are always on the move and is looking for ways in which you can supply yourself with safe and pure drinking water, the Crystal Quest portable reverse osmosis filter is an ideal choice for your requirements. However, the Crystal Quest portable reverse osmosis filter can also be of immense use if you simple want to use it for your filtration needs at home. The portable reverse osmosis process of filtration is an extremely effective method of filtration that manages to purify water even if it is highly contaminated. The portable reverse osmosis filters that came into being in the 50s have become extremely popular as a household purification system.How does the portable reverse osmosis filter work? The portable reverse osmosis technology is quite interesting. The system uses water pressure to purify the water. A semi-permeable membrane is used to trap the contaminants to let the purified water pass to the other side. In reverse osmosis, the liquid in a living cell flows from the high concentration area to a lower concentration area, till a balance between the two areas is reached. For maximum purification, the Crystal Quest portable reverse osmosis filters allow the water to pass through ten stages of filtration. The system does not always require electricity to purify the water. Often gravity is used to push the water from one stage of filtration to another. Thus, the filter is very useful for rural areas, though people residing in urban areas find the filters extremely cost effective and functional too. Advantages of purchasing the portable reverse osmosis filters The fact that the Crystal Quest portable reverse osmosis filters are portable makes it easy to use and extremely handy. It is a boon for people working in remote areas, like the army, navy and people related to social services. They can carry and use the portable reverse osmosis filters anywhere to purify their water, thus eliminating contaminants like lead, pesticides and bacteria in their drinking water. In places where electricity is not always available, the portable reverse osmosis filters that can function without power are a god-send. The Crystal Quest portable reverse osmosis filters can easily be attached to the faucet or on a suspended hookup system. A countertop filter with portable reverse osmosis technology is compact in size, economical and can produce 50 to 100 gallons of water per day. However, the fact that the portable reverse osmosis filters produce too much water can sometimes result in water being wasted. Finally, a portable reverse osmosis filter is an ideal choice not only because it produces excellent water but also because it can purify any kind of water, be it seawater or water from the river. Some portable reverse osmosis filters also have UV light purification system, thus making the system doubly effective. This makes the portable reverse osmosis filters very useful for places where the water supply is too full of contaminants. by: Quality Water Filters 4 You

Crystal Quest has many different types of whole house water filters, what you will need all depends on what contaminants you are trying to remove from your water. Here I am going to talk about the difference between the 8 stage triple 20” whole house water filter and the 8 stage triple 20” heavy duty whole house water filters.
The 20” Crystal Quest 8 stage whole house water filters have 8 stages of filtration and 3 cartridges the cartridges are 20 inches by 2.5 inches. The first cartridge is a 5 micron sediment cartridge to remove dirt, sand and any other un-dissolved particles. The second cartridge has 6 stages of filtration it has two one micron filter pads to remove silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other un-dissolved matter, it also has KDF 55 and KDF 85 media to remove or reduce chlorine, heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide. It also has coconut shell carbon to remove or reduce chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and other chemical contaminants. Then there is an ion-exchange resin to further remove or reduce heavy metals and water hardness. The third cartridge is a coconut shell solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's, insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents) The Crystal Quest 20” whole house water filters will provide you with 160,000 gallons of contaminant free water. It has a flow rate of 4-6 gallons per minute. Crystal Quest 20” 8 Stage Heavy Duty Whole House Water Filter The Crystal Quest 20” 8 Stage Heavy Duty Whole House Water Filter also has 8 stages of filtration and three cartridges but the cartridges are 20 inch by 5 inches. It has all the same media except were the 20 inch by 2.5 inch has an ion-exchange media the heavy-duty has ceramic balls instead of the ion-exchange media for removing bacteria like E. Coli, Fecal coli form, Salmonella, Streptococcus, and cysts (Cryptosporidium, Giardia) and sediment. Also the Crystal Quest Heavy-Duty Whole House Water Filter will provide you with 300,000 gallons of contaminant free water and has a flow rate of 7 to 9 gallons per minute. So the differences are as follows: Heavy-duty whole house 1. Cartridges are 20” by 5” 2. Have ceramic balls instead of ion-exchange resin 3. Filtering capacity is 300,000 gallons 4. Flow rate is 7 to 9 gallons per minute 20” by 2.5” Whole House Water Filters 1. Cartridges are 20” by 2.5” 2. Has ion-exchange resin instead of ceramic balls 3. Filtering capacity is 160,000 gallonsFlow rate is 4 to 6 gallons per minute by: Quality Water Filters 4 You
