Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good water purification system. I am moving into a new house soon, and the water (tap water) is awful. I use a brita now, but that will not help the water at the new house.
Is there a stronger filter to use (what about pur- is that good) or do I need to get some sort of system put on the faucet?
Sorry, clueless about this!

I've been using aquasana under sink version of the product. If the tap water in this new house is really bad you could consider the whole house version, but expensive.

do you have the basic or the deluxe?

Hi Maureen!
Have you considered Reverse Osmosis? That gets the water absolutely pure. It's a little expensive but you can take it with you. My sister has it in her home. It's what our Dr. recommends.
I purchase mine for .40 per gallon and occassionally add Trace Minerals (especially when I sauna).
I've read that you are doing well and I couldn't be happier for you.
Does your sister actually have a unit that is installed to make the reverse osmosis water? You mentioned it is portable- is it the unit that is portable?
Where do you buy your water?
I hope you are feeling well these days and that your sister is doing well with rifing.

I've been researching this for days... I think I'm going to go with the Aquasana.
I may see if I can add a pre-filter for fluoride & arsenic. The pre-filters are not expensive. I don't know if you can do it, though.
I think with reverse osmosis it removes all of the minerals - if I remember correctly.
May be good to get shower & bath filters, too, if you don't get a whole house deal.

Ditto what Mojo said
My LLMD said reverse osmosis was the best way to go, not too expensive $200-400, it attaches under your sink.
