I am really tired of paying for bottled water, not to mention having to shop for it.  Also, I seem to be defeating my purpose since I find myself using tap water for coffee and cooking.  It seems that the best solution might be to install a water filter.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to which one might be best?

I like the Brita water filter.  It's easy to install, lasts around 3 months, and has a light which indicates it's filtering.  If you have lots of room on your kitchen counter, the Brita pitcher works well too.  Some people think the plastic is not healthy, but Brita says that their pitcher does not have the harmful chemical that many clear plastic pitchers/glasses, etc have.  Good luck!

Have you thought about installing a reverse osmosis system?  It supposed to get rid of everything in your water, plus you have the benefit of not having to deal with plastic bottles.  I love mine.  You can either get Culligan to do it for you or you can pick one up yourself and do the install which is less expensive.

Hi ladies,

I have a water filter but I dont know if we are aloud the say it here, but its really worth it . my filter is good for 2 years and there's a magnet ( they called aqua gravity system) and from that I still have to optimize and really, really clean.. I cannot drink from any bottled water anymore it taste awful. 

anyways, my water filter system is really good..
