we have well water and are going with a whole house distillery (that's water, not the hard stuff!). distilled water is the cleanest, safest and purist hands down. Healing with Water or here's the link: http://www.guidetonaturalhealing.info/#_Toc179001886 The average person needs at least a gallon of pure liquids daily. This can be in juices, in herbal teas, or in plain pure water. Drink an 8 oz glass every hour or half hour for a total of at least 16 glasses every day equals 132 oz or one gallon. Never miss or if you do take extra to catch up. Dehydrated is a major cause of disease. All of the internal organs get clogged with waste materials and they must be flushed out. The body tissues cant be rebuilt when they are dehydrated. The water in fresh squeezed juices is pure and clean. Besides the water in fresh juices we need water for drinking, for making herbal teas, and for food preparation. There are two methods of water purification which really get the water clean: steam distillation with carbon filter and reverse osmosis with carbon filter. It is best to purify all of the water coming into your house or apartment removing most of the impurities at the point of entry. A whole house system will avoid getting chlorine and other toxins in through your skin and lungs while you are taking a bath or shower. In addition, water for consumption should be purified 100%. Sears sells a good quality one gallon steam distillation unit with carbon filter for about $120. This unit works fine. I have used the Waterwise one gallon size and it is about the same but more expensive. There are many choices available in the Yellow Pages and on the internet. Dont be fooled by claims that mineral water is good for you. The minerals are inorganic and dead and of no value at all. You get plenty of minerals from food and juices and dont need any more in the form of mineral water. Mineral water just calcifies your arteries, brain, and all of your internal organs... -------------- we've considered reverse osmosis as well, but distilled seems to be much less upkeep. nutritionist anne louise gittleman recommends distilled as do many other health professionals. good health everyone.

Assuming you installed the filter correctly, you need 60 PSI to get 0.75 (3/4) gallons per minute, per Culligan Literature. Verify what pressure you have at the faucet/filter. Technical service at Culligan is 1-800-645-5426. The 750R filter appears to address only Clorine or Aesthetic Effects. The 1000R filter addresses many Health Effects. See link. Ask tech service if the filters are interchangable. Hope that helps. Dan Martyn Here is a link that might be useful: Culligan SY-750S Water Filter Manual

I've been going mad looking for a single stage water filtration system that requires a separate faucet. the water quality is very good where we live, just need to eliminate all the taste and smell from it. We'd also like to buy a separate filter faucet to match the stainless finish on our main faucet. Can you recommend a simple under sink filter that already comes with everything needed to install it? thanks!

We have a Filtrete under counter water filtration that hooks right up to the main faucet. It's very inexpensive and we've been very happy with it. Easy change filters that we have to replace every six months or so. I suppose you end up going through filters more quickly than you would with a separate faucet, but it only hooks up to the cold water, so we figure we're not using up the filter doing dishes or anything like that. I prefer not having a separate faucet, but we have a smallish kitchen and I have kind of a minimalist aesthetic... Here is a link that might be useful: Filtrete system
