I'm about to replace a lot of plumbing in the house (tub/shower faucet, hot water tank, kitchen sink/faucet, etc.) and am thinking that filtering all the water, rather than just the little drinking water faucet would be a good thing. I don't see much about filtering the hot water, other than for sediment/grit, or "hot water protector" filters. I'm not sure this is a good thing - though it might be better than nothing?
"It sequesters the hardness ions thus inhibiting them from precipitating out of the water to create scale. Scale can decrease your hot water efficiency by 30 - 40%. Also the siliphos reacts with the hardness carbonate to secrete a thin glass-like coating on the interior metal surfaces thus protecting from corrosion." http://www.kleenwater.com/cuno-aquapure-ap430ss-hot-water-protector-p-69.html Then there's the "Rio-Vita Chlorine Shower Water Filter" that "is effective in removing chlorine and other harmful contaminants by employing oxidation / reduction (redox) technology *. Be assured that this media will remove contaminants that harm / dry skin and hair and also can be unhealthy as a result of inhalation or trans-dermal absorption." http://www.kleenwater.com/riovita-chlorine-shower-water-filter-p-91.html I'm leaning towards a stainless canister with one of these filter elements - http://www.kleenwater.com/good-25-x-10-inch-matrikx-carbon-block-cartridges-p-71.html Anyone BTDT? -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." - Ernest Hemingway '90 300D (Rattled), '92 300D (Saber), ''97 Ply Grand Voyager (Vincent van-go) _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
