Question:

faucet water filters...?

How effective are these and what are the differences between water filtered through the tap and boiling water?I know that boiling kills everything. Some filters claim to remove all chemicals but keep flouride, what is that?

Answer:

I would say that they are pretty effective in filtering out certain metals like lead and nickel that may be in your tap water. Filtered water certainly tastes different than unfiltered water. Boiling water sterlizes the water. it kills bacteria and makes it safe to drink from organic substances. But boiling water without filtering still keeps those metals and inorganic substances in your water. When you boil water from a stream for example, all your doing is making it safe to drink. Boiling tap water isn't necessary since it's already safe. Filtering will make it taste a bit better.
PUR Faucet Water Filters reduce 60 contaminants that may be found in your water, and the Advanced and AdvancedPlus models also filter water over the beneficial minerals that give water its clean, crisp, fresh taste.
