Ode, What filtering medium can you suggest for filtering fluoride. I'm in sourthern CA and they are starting to fluoridate our water supply. My concern is bathing and showering -- drinking water is an easier matter to deal with.
Some time ago someone suggested Diatomacious earth as a likely filter medium (not for filtering fluoride). The net suggests Activated Alumina -- not to sure about using Alumina to filter water for showering -- then again something call Alum is used in the water treatment area and has been for many years -- is there a connection? There are small filters available for shower heads -- I can't see them doing much for long. Our water has a TDS reading of 400 not exactly for making CS. Not sure what the PWT reading is! I'd like to cobble together a pre-filter array of say 4 x 48 inch (4" black PVC pipes) filled with a fine granular filtering medium -- a final finer filter into the hot and cold water pipes -- a commercial system will cost 5-600 bucks (a maybe 24 inch metal cylinder and you don't know what they are using as filter medium!!! Obviously I'd be perpared to maintain the unit closely and renew the medium -- being well armed with a TDS and PWT meter! Of course I have to wonder if my array of 4 x 48 inch pipes will take the pressure of an incoming town water system -- that I can research myself! I use Albertsons distilled water for my Bob Berger constructed CS-EIS Maker. Any suggestions Listers -- Thanks Douglas Haack -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
