- I've done some research on water filters and have found that the
- best one on the market is a solid block carbon filter. NSF (national
- sanitation foundation) has given one of these filters a very good rating. The
- Multi-Pure filter. It is certified for Asthetics and for Health ratings. They
- remove lead, chlorine, TTHM's and a whole bunch of other stuff. (which I can
- hardly pronounce) This company has a under the counter model that has a
- spicket you can mount on you sink. The filter is good for 500 gallons (average
- use for a family of 4 for a year) and then needs to be replaced. It's
- relatively inexpensive also, compared to bottled water -- it's a very good
- deal. The only problem is the intitial investment, to buy the housing for the
- cartridge. I believe it $329.00 but I don't hold me to it. And the cartridge
- is $38, again don't hold me too it.
- I've got one and have been using it for years now, and I love it. (The
- Rochester, NY water isn't that wonderful either). If you want more
- information then drop me some e-mail at scs5759@ritvax.isc.rit.edu.

- Hope this helps.
