I have had a Kenmore reverse osmosis drinking water system at home for years, so I don't have to bother with the pitcher, I get clean water right from the tap. (The pitchers are handy for vacation though.) My husband installed ours, but I bet you could get one installed, if you aren't handy. I don't think it is rocket science, but an easy do it yourself project. There are probably lots of places to purchase reverse osmosis systems, like Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, etc., they are very popular now. Go to the PWA resources page, I know that Jordan recommends a particular filter. I wouldn't wait to start the cleanse if I were you, but I wouldn't drink tap water either. You can buy gallon jugs of spring, filtered and distilled water which are all much better choices than municipal tap water. (If your trash collection doesn't offer recycling for the bottles, go to earth911.org to find out where to recycle in your zip code.) Some of the health food and grocery stores here have Culligan water systems, where you can buy filtered water. They usually have some sort of program where you swap your container for a new one when you "fill up", sort of like exchanging the propane tank on your gas grill. Also, this seems strange, but several do it yourself car washes have reverse osmosis filtered water. You must take your own container, but can get filtered water for about 25 cents a gallon. That came in very handy when our city water line broke last year and we were told to boil our water and not to bathe in it. I didn't take any chances, I just drove to the car wash in the next town over and filled up two cheap five gallon containers from Target for $2.50. |
