I have bought bottled water for a long time. I just recently, finally got a filter for my kitchen sink tap. I wanted to long before, but I either forgot, or couldn't afford it at the time. I still drink bottled for the most part, but use the filter sink water for cooking, etc. We have terrible water. We live in a small town and have a water tower. It is full of chlorine, and nobody else much notices this but me. I have been allergic to chlorine for a long, long time. Maybe it has something to do with the mercury, I don't know, but I am sure it could. I know I have been very over sensitive to chemicals, since I've been mercury toxic. On very hot days, it almost smells like straight chlorine coming out of the faucets.I know this is not good for me. I need a shower filter badly, but haven't got that far yet. I am doing the best I can, with changing the things in my life that are making me more toxic, but I can only do a little at a time. Eventually I will get there.

I met someone in a neighboring town, when I was buying my water filter, and she said their water is so bad, that they have the Culligan plan, and that they come out and put filters under all their sinks, and I guess they pay a monthly fee for this. They STILL have a tap filter on their kitchen sink for the drinking water, even WITH the Culligan that they have.
