We got a Culligan filter that connects to the tap - you turn on the water, then pull out a valve to run it through the filter. It is about 4 or 5 inches tall, and maybe 3 inches in diameter, so it blocks some of the sink, but we´re getting used to it. :) It works well - it ways it removes chlorine and giardia (I´m not saying these are present, just that it removes particles of that size). The filter has to be replaced about every 2 months, and we didn´t see any replacements at EPA. We got it anyway. The next step up was a filter that you have to install inline with your faucet - it mounts under the sink, and has its own faucet. This would have taken tools and probably a plumber - not something we really wanted to do in a rental, but we will do this in the long run. <BR/>The strange thing about the water for us is that we can drink it for several weeks without problems. But after 3 or 4, we get the runs (I know, lovely topic, but necessary). Simply switching to bottled (or now, filtered) water fixes us right up (in a couple of days).Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207338195566102772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198436961592644529.post-17058841792399359882008-01-23T20:57:00.000-06:002008-01-23T20:57:00.000-06:00Hi Julie,Would you be able to expand on what you w...Hi Julie,<BR/>Would you be able to expand on what you will do with the water filter to make your water drinkable? Is this something you connect to your tap? Please advise as I am also concerned about not being able to drink CR water.<BR/>Many thanks,<BR/>MarikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
