What kind of home water treatment systems do you need? That's the first question that you have to answer when you are looking for water treatment products. How much are you willing to spend? That's another.

Like many of you, I have to balance the family's budget. So, I have to look at how much a system costs and consider if it is worth the extra price. I also look at how much it costs to use home water treatment systems on a daily, monthly or annual level. There is a considerable difference in the costs that are associated with the various systems on the market.

I pay for my water, maybe you do, too. My sister lives in a different city and her water is free. But, we need the same water treatment products, because both of us have high levels of chlorine and where there is chlorine, there are cancer-causing THMs (trihalomethanes).

Regulating agencies have tried to convince as the amount of THMs or trihalomethanes in publicly treated supplies are "safe", even thought the chemicals are classified as "known" human carcinogens. There is no way to determine what level is safe, because we have multiple sources of exposure.

The chemicals can be consumed when drinking unfiltered water. They can be absorbed through the skin, when bathing, showering or swimming in chlorinate pools. They become airborne along with the steam when water is heated for showering or cooking and we inhale them along with the steam. They even build up in the air of our homes.

Researchers have shown that there are measurable levels of chloroform gas (one of the THMs) in all of the homes that were tested. They said that the cause was showering in chlorinated waters. So, we need water treatment products for the kitchen and the shower. But, do we really need home water treatment systems for the whole house?

That's a good question. It is sometimes a more economical solution, since only one unit, rather than multiples are required. But, individual water treatment products for the kitchen and the shower are more effective against some contaminants than the whole house units. It's similar to the way that we can do more in our homes than can be done by large-scale public treatment facilities or bottling companies for that matter.

The most effective home water treatment systems for the kitchen cost less than 0 and the cost of use is less than a dime per gallon or about 2 per year, depending on your usage. For comparison's sake, buying bottled for a year would cost the average family of four at least 00 and that's for a generic or store brand.

According to recent studies, those generics contain more contaminants than the average public source. The water treatment products used by bottling companies vary. In some cases, they don't use additional purification methods. I could write a book about home water treatment systems, but hopefully, this little bit of information gave you something to think about.

Home Water Treatment Systems Sink Bottled Water Costs

Using a good home water purifier is a very good way to make sure that you stay away from waterborne diseases. Drinking contaminated water kills many people across the country every year. Drinking purified water is one of the best ways to make sure you and your family stay safe.

 Since there are so many different types of water purifiers available in the market today, it can be extremely confusing to choose the right one at times. Always remember this rule of thumb when it comes to water purification.

 A water purifier must be able to get rid of the contaminants present in water and yet at the same time should not alter the natural taste of water or remove the essential minerals present in it. If you apply this rule when selecting a water purifier you will end up with an excellent choice.

 Before you decide to buy a home purifier water system, you should first get the water tested and find out what kind of contaminants are present in it. This is very important because you should choose a water purifier based on the kind of contaminants present in your water.

 As you know, water purifiers are based on different water purification technologies and their capacity to remove contaminants from water differs a lot. Some water purifiers are very effective at removing inorganic contaminants. Other water purifiers are very effective at removing heavy metals. And some are good at removing cysts and other substances. You need to choose the right kind of water purifier for your home.

 However, if the water you get is highly contaminated, which is true in most cases, you can go for a good home purifier water system based on active carbon block filtration. It usually purifiers water on three levels - granulated active carbon blocks, ion exchange, and micron filtration.

 It is extremely good at removing fungi, algae, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and other types of contaminants found in water. Also, it does not remove the essential minerals present in water or alter its taste in any way.

 Most importantly, it is cheaper than most other types of water purifiers available in the market today. You can get pure water every day at an affordable rate. What more can you ask for?

 If you do not have a good home water purifier, it might be a good idea to get one as soon as possible. The dangers of drinking contaminated water cannot be stressed enough. Drinking pure water is very good for your long term health. So, make the right decision today.

How To Select The Right Home Water Purifier Using This Rule Of Thumb

The first tip involves the ability to remove sediments. While many water treatment plants use sediment filters as a part of their process, they have no control over the piping that brings the water to your house. If these pipes are aging, there may be small particles that break free from the lining inside the pipes. Whole house water filters can stop the sediments as they enter your home, thus protecting the pipes in your home. 

The second tip is an active chemical removal process. There are many types of chemicals present in the water supplies of cities. These chemicals often can be removed by an ion exchange process. This method binds the undesired chemical within the filter, letting the purified water flow through for your use. Whole house water filters ensure that undesired chemicals never reach your bathtubs, showers, or washing machines.

The third tip is an effective chlorine removal process. Chlorine is routinely used in the treatment of municipal water supplies. When chlorine enters your home piping system, this chemical is vaporized as taps or showers are used. These vapors can aggravate conditions such as asthma, bronchitis and allergies. Both the ion exchange process and activated carbon techniques are effective in reducing chlorine.

In conclusion, there are many benefits to using whole house water filters. Your water quality is improved for drinking and cooking, as well as for bathing and clothes washing. Removal of chlorine improves the air quality due to reduced vaporization at the kitchen faucet and in tubs and showers. Keeping undesired chemicals out of your water improves your overall health and well being. Use these tips to help you find the whole house water filter that works best for you!

Most water purifiers unsafe for health: study

Do you have a private well?

If you have a private well, the US Environmental Protection Agency recommends that you have annual testing done to confirm the purity of your supply. Testing can be expensive, but you need a reliable and accurate record. It's not just about "which" whole house water filters to purchase. A testing record can be used to prove that incoming industry or construction damaged your supply.

Are you serviced by a public treatment facility?

If you are serviced by a public provider your primary need is chlorine removal. You want a whole house water filter that is UL (Underwriters laboratory) or NSF certified. WQA certifications are made by a trade group that allows members to "claim" performance, without providing the data to back up their claims.

In addition to chlorine removal, the removal of microscopic particles is recommended. Those systems that filter down to 5 microns provide the cleanest drinking water. If you are concerned about cysts, you will still need a kitchen system that filters down to one micron.

How much should you pay?

If you have a private well, a whole house water filter purification system can be quite expensive. It just depends on what contaminants are present. People who live near the coast often have a high sediment and sodium content. You will likely need prefiltration and a kitchen faucet purifier.

If you are on a public water line, the best whole house water filters on the market can be purchased for less than a thousand dollars. There are more expensive brands, but there is no reason to pay $6000 for a whole house water filter when you can get the same effectiveness in a less expensive product. If you shop at a retail store, you will pay more, simply because of mark-up.

Do I really need whole house water filters?

If you have a private well, you might not need a whole house water filter. But, anyone serviced by a public treatment facility can benefit from chlorine removal.

It is a necessary evil, as it controls bacterial growth and prevents outbreaks of waterborne illnesses. But, it is bad for the digestive system. In the shower it damages the skin and hair. Cooking with and showering in chlorinated water causes the release of toxic gases.

So, you are not only filtering your water, you are also improving the quality of your home's indoor air. If you have asthma or another chronic respiratory condition, your health will improve when you improve the quality of the air.

Your clothes will last longer and the colors will be brighter, because you are not constantly "bleaching" them. Whole house water filters can save you money and protect your health, as long as you buy the right product.

House Water Filters – How to Choose the Best Water Purifier?

Avoid Big Brand Names

To begin with, you can try looking at products that do not sport a big name; contrary to popular conception, big name countertop water filter systems are not always the best or even the most effective. There are in fact numerous negatives to picking well known branded countertop water filter systems because much of the appeal is based on heavy advertising and clever marketing strategies.

So, it pays to also look at the less well known branded countertop water filter systems because many of them actually provide you with some very decent products that will serve you as well if not better than the big brand names.

In any case, the ideal countertop water filter system must be one that uses multi-faceted approach to water filtration and which uses more than one filtration technology which in turn ensures that contaminants of various sizes (minute to large) are removed with the help of each separate technology.

The more number and types of contaminants that a countertop water filter system can remove the better it is for you though at the same time you need to beware of systems that profess to remove a huge number of contaminants. It is better to go according to different groups of contaminants including VOC and THM.

Also, if you want a better deal on your countertop water filter system then it pays to shop for them online where manufacturers even sell products at factory prices which means that you the consumer are saved from having to pay retail prices which means saving up to twenty percent off the list price.

An under sink water filter system can prove to be a boon or even a bane. This means that you have to be especially careful about which product you buy and unlike in the case of countertop water filter systems you may be better served in sticking with the big brand names.

Buy Your Countertop Water Filter System

Softening Water through Filtration - Filtration is not just the running of water through a porous material and deeming it safe to drink, it is ensuring that no pathogens are present in the water. The best home water filtration system is a combination system that comprises of two methods of water purification, KDF (Kinetic degradation fluxion) process media and granular activated carbon. Reverse Osmosis filtration is done by passing water through a very small pores material that enables the water coming out the other side to be as particle free as possible. It is not the best filtration system as is evident.

Water that has been softened still contains all the natural essential minerals that people need and is thus absolutely safe for drinking. While this is true for adults softened water should not be used to prepare baby milk because of the high sodium content that occurs after the softening process has been done. Bottled water selling companies have been known to use these water treatment processes to much success. What happens in this case is after the water has been passed through the filter containing the softener it is run through water coolers after which it is packaged by a bottled water delivery system for sale.

Bottled water may not be 100% safe for drinking. Most companies use such water treatment method for their bottled water. There are some places where the water is normally warm and contains salt. A filtering medium and a softener are mostly used to cleanse it then it is cooled by use of water coolers. From here it is taken to the bottled water delivery system for bottling before being distributed for sale hence note that the water in bottles that you normally buy may not be very safe for drinking as such.

Softeners are a good way of filtering water, but they aren't the safest. Safe water is expensive, but curing diseases is even more expensive. It is however cheaper if you use it to soften water for other domestic uses other than drinking. Then you can employ the more expensive but sure techniques to purify drinking water as it more sensitive in matters to do with health.

Water Softening For Safe Drinking Water

There is only so much that a public water filtration system can do. They protect us from diseases like typhoid. They remove mud, dirt, raw sewage and other more offensive things like dead animals that fall into reservoirs and lakes. They remove heavy metals, rocks and a lot of minerals. They test the water to make sure that the level of contaminants is not, or should not be, toxic. But, there are problems with the public water filtration system that can only be solved by a "point of use" or "in the home" unit.

First, most of them use chemicals to kill bacteria and to provide disinfection. Chlorine is most common, but others may be used. The chemical disinfection process releases by-products that are hazardous to a person's health. In the case of chlorine, the by-products are referred to as THMs. They are known carcinogens. That means they cause cancer.

Environmental Protection Agency standards limit the THM content or total trihalomethanes to 80 parts per billion. Beyond that level, THMs are considered toxic and can cause nerve damage and other health conditions. You see, the public water filtration system cannot remove the by-products. They can only test the water to see if their level is too high.

That brings us to the second problem. Just because something is tested by our public officials doesn't always mean that things are good. You might be thinking, "okay, so since they test before sending it out, then we're safe without a home water filtration system, right?" Refer to Water Purifiers for more information.

Well, the "safe" level does not take several things into account. One is that the toxic level is for an adult that weights 175 pounds, so if you weigh less, there is a greater threat. Two, while most facilities are surely doing their job correctly, there have been reports of inaccurately reporting the test results in order to pass. Three, the test is performed before the water enters the pipes that lead to your home, so the concentration of the by products could be higher by the time it reaches you.

Scary? particularly if you have kids, there is no way that you can go without a good point of use water filtration system that removes chlorine and blocks THMs. But, you have to shop carefully, because some are advertised as purifiers, when all that they do is block chlorine and odor. There would be no protection from THMs in that case.

When you look for a water filtration system, you should ask for performance certifications and other industry standards. Certifications are not mandatory, but the better companies have them done. They should also have a data sheet that lists THMs and other pollutants, such as VOCs and cysts. Pesticides and herbicides should be listed, as well, but you may not recognize the names. Benzene and lindane are the most common in the United States. The best value for your money is one that removes everything. There are only a few that do the whole job.

Hopefully, this has helped you understand what an in-home water filtration system should do and why you need one. Happy shopping! Visit Water Filters for further information.

Two Reasons Why You Need A Home Water Filtration System

Many other factors come into play with a water purifier purchase, such as how large a space do you have available for it, how much water you will be using everyday, what kind of taste you want, and other important variables. Here is a consumer review to help you determine if the Brita water purifier is right for you.

First of all, Brita is a Germany-based company that provides safe water for consumption. It generally is know for its good, pure tasting water and effectiveness at removing the harmful chemicals for out water supply.

A Brita water purifier is very effective at removing chlorine from the water supply (one of the most harmful substances that seep into our tap water) and it also virtually eliminates sediment. Some still get in, but there is almost no form of purification that will remove 100% of every harmful substance.

A Brita Water purifier eliminates up to 98% of lead, reduces copper, mercury and cadmium. Another major plus for the Brita is that the filter is very easy to install into the water purifier.

The unit will also help reduce Benzene, and Toluene. It works on RO and purifies water as well.

Here is a list of the harmful effects that chemicals in our tap water can have on the body, and why you abosutely need to purchase a water purifier to improver your health:

Lead: Lead is a corrosion of the household plumbing, erosion of natural deposits. It can actually prevent bodily and mental development in young children, and has been proven to lead to high blood pressure in older kids and adults.

Copper: This is caused by corrosion of household plumbing, erosion of natural deposits. This is known to bring about gastritis problems, and even kidney problems in some cases. This is another harmful substance you absolutely must eliminate to achieve good health.

Mercury: Is caused by the erosion of natural deposits, runoff from landfills and cropland. This can also lead to kidney damage.

Brita manufactures and retails many different water purifier models. Here is a list of them and some factors that hopefully will help you make an informed decision about which is right for you. Go to Water Purifiers for more information.

The Brita® Dispenser Optimax: This one is perfect for larger families, as it can handle a much bigger supply and usage of water.

The Brita® Water Filtration Dispenser: This is NSF certified to reduce the harmful contaminants that may be in your water, no matter whether it be city water or well-water.

The Brita® filter: It is not intended to purify water, so do not purchase for your home if your main objective is to eliminate chemicals and other harmful substances.

A Brita water purifier will help your water to taste much better than the regular tap water, and it will also dramatically improve your health. They are generally very easy to install and use.

Remember this: A Brita water purifier is certainly very effective at improving your health. However, there are other competitors out there that are likewise very good. This is a list of the benefits of the Brita, and now it’s up to you to decide which model is best for your health.

The important thing is that you just make a decision, and begin using a water purifier as fast as possible. Don’t put off improving your health any longer! Visit Water Filters for further information.

Brita Water Purifier Review

In such cases, it may be a good idea to invest in water filters. If like me, you are not too keen on drinking tap water straight but have no problem with using filters then this maybe a better option for you rather than constantly having to buy refills. This in turn will save you money on expensive mineral water and give you the chance to drink from the tap without consuming all of the chemicals needed to treat tap water.

The effects of chlorine is minimal to the health, however, some experts have encountered that after a long time of consuming the water this could eventually have some affect on the individuals health. However, currently there are more water filters available for people to install in the own homes through their tap water systems. These come in various functions and can either be installed professionally or by yourself.

The most obvious water filters can be bought individually and are portable so you can take it in with you to work. Other people prefer to keep a water filter jug in the fridge, which is a good way of measuring how much you drink in a day. The filter itself is made from micro filters in a cartridge that is kept at the top half of the pitcher, it takes a short while to filter through at the bottom and each cartridge can last up to a month at a time.

Other types of filters, which can be fitted into the tap water systems, are reverse osmosis water filter, charcoal filters, ultraviolet disinfectant, a distiller, water softener and ceramic water filters. Each of these vary in price range and work in very different ways. The idea is to rid the water of any extra pathogens or infectious bacterium that may reside in the water. Some of the products are not designed for ridding the water from chlorine, so if you are looking to have water that is chemical free then you will need to look into what kind of filter will be best suited. Refer to Water Purifiers for more information.

Other filters are much more advanced and are more expensive, cheaper alternative that has a similar resulting affect are better suited for people looking to install them in their homes. Others may prefer to check the Ph level of the water, making sure it is not too acidic and is at a reasonable alkaline level. Generally, tap water is kept alkaline, with acidic fluid use mainly for cleaning purposes.

Tap water will not kill you and is not dangerous, but for the more health conscious people, there are alternatives to spending out on the extra money over bottled mineral water all the time. Making sure that you keep your water intake high is important to your ability to function normally, so you are better off with buying a water filter if you do drink the standard amount or more.

How To Save Money With Water Filters

The water filter industry is thriving. And just so you can make an informed decision when you buy a water purification system, we've put together the top water filter questions to guide you along the way.

Why shouldn't I drink tap water? There are still many people who have enough faith in their community water filtration system to feel comfortable drinking their tap water. But that number is quickly decreasing, as public awareness increases. Water testing has shown all kinds of invisible foreign bodies in our drinking water.

If you could see what the lab technicians see under their microscopes, you'd probably run for your life. Or at least, you'd immediately stop drinking tap water. There are some major menaces lurking in there that could make you very sick, or even kill you!

You need to be aware that there are pathogens in your water. That's the name given to the three types of disease-causing microbes. Those three types are: Protozoa, which includes giardia and cryptosporidium (even the names sound scary); bacteria, like the infamous E. coli; and viruses, like hepatitis. Now do you want to be pouring that into your body? Probably not!

If I'm concerned about water purity, can't I just buy bottled water? Bottled water is a huge industry, now that it's clear that our water is anything but clear. But, like most industries, there's the good and the bad. There's a lot of bottled water available that's only partially filtered, so there could still be some contaminants in it.

If you're really concerned about safe drinking water, make sure you buy a well-known brand that proves to be pure.

Is boiling my water enough to remove contaminants? By boiling your water for a couple of minutes, you'll eliminate many of the E. coli, giardia, crypto, and other such organisms. But it won't remove any of the harmful metals. In fact, as the water evaporates, the metals become even stronger.

Your best bet is to use a home water filter. It's much easier than constantly boiling water, and it's definitely much safer and much more effective.

How do I know what kind of water filter to buy? There are several water filtration systems available. They all do an adequate job of purifying your water. You just have to decide which one suits your water use and lifestyle the best.

You can get a water jug, with a filter, or you can get a filter that fits onto your tap. You can also get an in-line filter that's mounted on your counter. This type is connected directly to your cold water supply. Or you can get one that's installed under your sink, with its own independent tap.

Which water filtration system works the best? All water filters work well. They do what they're designed to do. Again, it depends on your use and preferences. A water filtration system forces water through a material, called a media, that allows the water through, but not the impurities.

Or you can use the distillation method, which is, simply put, boiling the impurities out of the water. This is very effective, but you have to pay for the power to run them, and you also have to de-scale them periodically.

The other method, which is also very effective, is called reverse osmosis. This is a very thorough method which goes through several stages in filtering the water. The end result is very pure water, but not all the water that goes into the system comes out clean. There's a certain amount of waste - the water that carries all the impurities. That goes down the drain.

Is reverse osmosis better than other water filtrations systems? To decide if reverse osmosis is better than other methods, you have to define "better". It's probably the most efficient system as far as removing impurities. However, it does have some disadvantages.

Because the system is so thorough, it takes more time, and uses more water. So you need a holding tank - that's extra equipment, which usually means extra money. Also, it doesn't work well with hard water, so you need to be living in a soft water area. And you need to have a minimum water pressure of 50 psi to operate the system.

How long will my filters last? Obviously, some filters last longer than others. It depends on which water treatment system you're using. If you have a water filter jug, then the average use for one filter is about three months. But if you go through a lot of water, like if you have a large family, you may have to change your filter every month.

Usually, the general rule is, the larger the filter, the longer it lasts. You need to check out your owner's manual for specifics. It's important to remember that you should always change your filter within the suggested times. If you drink water that's been passed through an expired filter, you may as well not use it at all because it's full of contaminants that have already been filtered out.

What type of contaminants do water filters remove? Water filters are designed to improve the taste and odor of the water. Nobody likes to drink water that tastes of chlorine, so that's one of the most important things that are filtered out. Metals, like copper and lead, are also eliminated.

And, of course, we need to get rid of the bacteria - those giardia and cryptosporidium that can be so harmful, or even fatal.

Why would I need a whole house filtration system? Filtering your drinking water is half the battle, but it's not the whole war. Bacteria isn't transferred only by drinking - you can also pass it on by hand, with the water you use in the rest of your house for washing the dishes, washing your hands, etc.

Whole house water filters do a great job of removing the chlorine and other bad tastes and odors, along with the other impurities you don't want to come into contact with. These filters are hooked up to your main water line into the house, so nothing gets by them. Another great benefit is that you can purify about 100,000 gallons of water before you have to change the filter.

Where's the best place to buy water filters? Because water purifiers are so popular these days, there are many manufacturers and distributors vying for your business. So the best place shop for your home water filters is on the Internet.

That way, you can get all the information you need, including the best prices, and the most beneficial features, without leaving the comfort of your home.

We all want to drink water that looks clear, not cloudy, and that has no bad taste or odor. And we all want to wash with water that has no bacteria or viruses. And that's why water filters are the way to go.

We'll suggest a couple of the many distributors of fine water filters. Check out these brands: PiMag Water Systems, Aqua Gold, or Richard Simmons' Pure To Go Personal Water Filter System.

There are many more, and you can see all the online water filter merchants right there, and decide which one is best for you. I'll drink to that!

Water Filters those Frequently Asked Questions

Online, you can find dozens of plans for home made water purifiers, from very simple survival-based filters to actual water distillation systems. But if you go the do-it-yourself route, you may be introducing your own problems into your purified water. If you don't do it properly, you are wasting your time; improperly-purified water still contains contaminants and, depending on the source, can even kill you. In addition, you may find that creating your own home made water purifiers costs more money than just going out and buying one commercially.

One of the problems with home made water purifiers is that they don't tell you when they are saturated with contaminants; on the other hand, commercial water filters usually do. If you keep using saturated filters without knowing it, you're not only getting un-decontaminated water; you're actually dissolving some of the previously-removed contaminants and getting a double dose. Unless you're using a distilled water system, you should assume that your home made water filter needs replacing, and that means you have to figure out your own saturation period.

Even if you use a distillation system or something else that supposedly removes all the contaminants from your water, you are likely to have a problem. For one thing, distillation removes even good minerals like iron, copper, and calcium, but it does not always remove chlorine, as chlorine is naturally a gas and will evaporate - and condense - right along with the water. In addition, distilled water that is not subsequently aerated will taste flat and lifeless, and your distillation system may add its own contaminants to your newly-purified water. You really need to know what you're doing.

For those who are still planning to build a home made water purifier, make sure that your filtration system has several layers: sand or diatomaceous earth, a layer of fiber or mesh, activated carbon, another layer of mesh, and then a third layer of diatomaceous earth. These filters work best if water is put through at pressure, after being allowed to settle. Once you've filtered your water, test it by letting a glass sit for a day or so to see if anything settles in the bottom or if the water gets cloudy. You can also send out samples to biological laboratories to have a thorough test done for microbes if you do not get your water from a municipal supply. Unless you're doing something very large scale, it's likely to be cheaper and easier to buy a premade filtration system.

Home Made Water Purifiers

A home made water purifier can be as simple as cloth tied around a water faucet, or as complex as a series of chemical filters put together for a large quantity of water to be run through them. Historically, the cloth was a typical solution, and even today in Africa, some tribeswomen are taught to pour fresh-drawn water through layers of cloth before using it to remove contaminants. The water at the end looks cleaner, and it does prevent some water-borne contaminants, like amoeba, it is very far from a good solution.

You'll find many types of home made water purifier instructions online, from simple filters to systems that involve distillation of water. The truth is, there are some serious problems with the do-it-yourself approach when it comes to purification of water. That's not good; improperly purified drinking water can harm your health and even kill you. While it's laudable to want to save a little money by creating your own filters, you could be putting yourself and your family at risk by doing it.

You have to be aware that home made water purifiers do not tell you when they can no longer remove contaminants. This is very important, as if you don't change filters when they are saturated, the already-removed contaminants can actually dissolve in fresh water run through the filters and make your water even more contaminated. Commercial water purifiers almost always have a system that tells you when to change filters. For a home made filter, you'll need to assume specific times to change to ensure you don't recontaminate yourself.

Even if you use a distillation system or something else that supposedly removes all the contaminants from your water, you are likely to have a problem. For one thing, distillation removes even good minerals like iron, copper, and calcium, but it does not always remove chlorine, as chlorine is naturally a gas and will evaporate - and condense - right along with the water. In addition, distilled water that is not subsequently aerated will taste flat and lifeless, and your distillation system may add its own contaminants to your newly-purified water. You really need to know what you're doing.

If you're determined to do it yourself,a home made water purifier needs to have several layers of filtration in order to work effectively: sand or diatomatious earth, activated carbon, and layers of gauze or mesh to hold the filters in place. Water needs to be put through this filter at pressure. Then, at the end, you need to test the water yourself; the best way is to allow a glass of water to sit for a day or two and see what settles at the bottom or whether the water gets cloudy, and also test the water at biological laboratories for microbes and other things that can sicken you. It is likely to be cheaper and easier to just purchase a commercial system.
