My DH sells water filtration systems, and water softener systems. All a water softener does is add salt to the water to make it soft, uh, duh! It does not affect the taste of the water at all. If the water tastes different, then...

Have you seen the post by Jamie Bodreau on the topic, linked below? He shares some interesting tips — especially around filtration and extracting each ingredient separately, then mixing the resultant tonics, rather than...

in the pond that you feed, the number of fish in the pond may be too many given its size. you might also need some/more filtration/water circulation, as well as other critters like snails to help control the algae. Also look at...

is impossible. We are planning to install a Blue Star 30" range. I know that vented hoods are far superior to OTR microwaves, but I’m not so sure this applies equally to their recirculating cousins. We prefer the more...

Ive used the Brita water for making rice and pasta on the first and 3 weeks of the month when I smell the added chlorine from the water filtration plant, but 90% of the time I use ordinary tap water. I worked at a Italian...

>>Yes, the $16 Home Depot filter has activated carbon because the purpose of all those filters is to remove any off taste in the water.<< Thanks for the clarification, but not all of those filters are of the activated carbon...

that is the best designed home unit I’ve ever seen. It is shaped like a professional fryer and has a permanent automatic oil cleaning/filtration system. I can’t recommend it to you, since I know nothing about its...

filtered tap water either sparkling or still- it’s nice to offer but we get it and the bottom line is it’s free tap water, thank you very much." A good quality, commercial grade, water filtration system costs a minimum...

You might consider a water filtration system that can handle everything from micro-organisms to chlorine. We’ve had our Kinetico system for over 4 years, and I can’t honestly think of another investment I’ve...

matter because of the water filtration, and maybe nicotine and tar gets trapped in the water as well. However, you WILL get a good dose of Carbon Monoxide, since you’re inhaling some of the incomplete combustion of the...

is Appalachian Mountain Spring Water. It’s better than Poland Spring with NO charcoal filtration taste, and no plastic jug taste. Sold only in gallons here in NY. (Source: Pa.) Image:...

I’ve done the Brita method several times and it was fun, but still tasted rather crappy. The filtration made it taste much better than it did when I first cracked open the cheap ass vodka, but it was nowhere near as good as...

is to try different vodkas from these different bases. Filtration and distilation are important (of course) but to my mind these different kinds of vodkas are as different as Irish whiskey is from scotch or bourbon and can make...
