Wow!

Great idea; I'll dip my coffee carafe in the pool for that clean taste and it will fill faster than the tap.

Hey I also have some air for sale that is much better than the air in The Villages. Why breathe that old stale air when you can have it bottled and fresh.

No need to recycle either because the plastic will break down in days; trust me.

We don't have a water conditioner.

just think of water as being on vacation every place you stop the water taste is different. The water in TV is different than home, so vacation it is

I also bought the Sears Hybrid and have been very pleased so far. I had the plumbing company (Mike Scott) that plumbed my house install the system so there wouldn't be a who's fault issue if a problem arose.. For the same price Sears asked they ran it to an offset in the garage so I didn't need to squeeze around it all the time.

I also bought the extended warranty which is not my custom, but I thought I would see how this held up the first year.

My water checks out great and I would definitely check it out instead of the $ 3000 or $4000 home sales guys.

I use a Pur filter that you attach to your faucet and it works just fine. I change the filter about every four months.

Is there a difference in the PUR filters for the faucet and the pitchers and the filter on the water disp in the refrigerator? We just use the water from the refrigerator for drinking.

my tap water tastes fine but after it sits on my night table all night it tastes of chemicals. so i use it for boiling in kettle but fill gallons at publix in colony for 30 cents each for ordinary drinking...tests consistently show our water is fine as far as health goes.

The white stuff in the kettle is limescale. We have to use a 'descaler' to get rid of it!

The PUR faucet filter has a little switch to allow you to turn it off or on. You can use tap water for whatever you want, turn the knob/switch/handle to get as much filtered water as you want. It is faster and easier than a pitcher style. It also has a monitor light that is green when the filter is good, and flashes yellow when you are near the end of your filter's life. Change it and back to green. They say to NOT run the hot water through it. The filter is much easier to change than most fridge filters, and probably a lot less $$.
We have used this style for several years and in 3 weeks, when we move in, we will use it again with a whole house water softener.

3 WEEKS .... Yahooooooo!

I'm not sure how to read you Reply? My original post you mocked was a true statement, When our water was tested the chlorine level was three times that of the local pool. So your right your coffee water might taste better from the pool.

Sorry I just can't feel the humor. And if I'm wrong I now apologize.

There are people that have endured some hardships over the last month and making fun of sink holes isn't a great idea., Your take on clean air, recycling and other water concerns people have asked legitimate questions for on this site might not be appreciated by some.

I can handle myself with your replys but you may want to think of others before you type away.

Just saying.

[keithwand]

Obviously it was tongue in cheek re using pool water for coffee. People buy bottled water and all the plastic goes into the landfills and does not break down; again tongue in cheek re air. Maybe should have used bottled sunshine.
Sorry "you" can't feel the humor as humor is subjective.
People endure hardships every day beyond sinkholes.; here or elsewhere.
I will type slower for those that are....

The tap water exceeds all required testing, can't say that for bottled water. Botteled water tested worse than toilet water, according to survey
