NEW! Water Filter Pitcher that reduces FLUORIDE!
This water filter pitcher has been sold at friendsofwater.com since early August. At last we found a water filter pitcher with new filtering technology that actually does excellent filtering, including reducing fluoride. (Other water filter pitcher manufacturers don't even claim to remove fluoride.)
This water filter pitcher uses a newer adaptation in water filter material that is highly effective for the full range of contaminants. This filtration system has been independently tested numerous times around the world. This is a low-cost solution that is also excellent for emergency situations. Nearly all contaminants are removed at levels above 90% - most of them around 99%. Chlorination byproducts (the risk with chlorine) were removed at 99.6% or better in independent tests. (One customer personally tested and reported 0 chlorine.) Even chloramines are removed up to a 95% rate. Fluoride is reduced by about 75% to 80%. To see comparisons to other water filter pitchers, see this page: Water Filter Pitcher Comparisons.ONE FILTER IS INCLUDED with your pitcher purchase.The replacement filters normally last for 150 gallons. For comparison, both Brita and PUR water pitcher filters last 40 gallons. These replacement filters cost about the same as Brita and PUR by the gallon filtered and do far more filtering. FOR MORE INFORMATION, including test results: click on: Water Filter Pitchers .Replacement filters for the water filter pitcher goes for around $39.95. With your initial purchase of a water filter pitcher, extra replacement filters are reduced. The more you buy, the lower the cost of each one. Shipping is increased $1 per filter at most - when adding to a pitcher order. (Add to your order below.) We've had a fraction of 1% of people using this pitcher who had to change the filter sooner. While this might be disappointing from one point of view, it is because the filter is filtering a lot of something out of your water. It could be pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or another contaminant - or many contaminants.

Key Features: * Removes from 90% to 99.99% of most contaminants found in municipal water * Filters up to 150 gallons of water before changing filters * Water filter pitcher manufacturers estimate about 20 gallons of use per month for pitchers. This suggests a replacement filter every 6 months. But of course it depends upon how much it needs to filter from your water and how much you use it. * Tested by independent laboratories, including the Califorina state approved County of Los Angeles lab, using EPA/ANSI protocols and NSF Standards 42 and 53 * BPA Free! Consider getting 2 Water Filter Pitchers to bring one to the bathroom, your office or for travel. If you buy more than one pitcher, select the number of replacement filters you want for EACH pitcher.
There is one 'extra' included. The red disk can be put atop the filter and run water over it to flush the filter material. But the filter material is preflushed so you don't need to do that.

I was SOOOOOO happy to hear that I was getting this water filter. Right now where I live we use a Brita and I was just thinking the other day how much I wanted a water filter for the new place. Then I swear just a few days later I get a e-mail from Friends of Water. I was ecstatic to say the least. You know that I immediately opened the box and put it to use.
Here is a bit about the company:
Friends of Water provides householders with products, information and inspiration to celebrate, save and filter water. They recognize the need to save and filter water for our environment, health, recreation and gardening.Our goal is to increase awareness of the risks to water, save water, and filter water and have some fun through story-telling in our ezine.
What are the benefits of drinking water daily?
Recently, I read the opinion of a scientist who claims that the 64 ounce per day rule may be unnecessary, unless you are thirsty and that it could cause people to feel guilty for not reaching that goal. On the other hand, I have read the opinions of many other scientists saying that 64 ounces is not enough and that people should drink more. Everyone has their opinion but there are many facts that cannot be ignored. The body is composed primarily of fluids. Babies are 75% water, adults range from 55-60%. Knowing that, it is obvious that there must be some way to protect that fluid level. Otherwise the blood would thicken and eventually, the heart would be unable to move it through your body. Blood plasma is not the only fluid in the body. Every cell has some amount of fluid in it. Fluids are used to carry away toxins and waste as well as to cool the brain and the body's other organs. The average human loses and average of 2.5 liters, which is equivalent to 84 ounces per day through natural processes, such as urination, respiration and sweating. Those that sweat or urinate more frequently lose more so I have to wonder about the motivation of the scientist that claims there are no benefits to drinking water daily, unless you are thirsty. I am more inclined to agree with the scientists that say more is better. What do you think? The primary benefits of drinking water daily are to avoid acute dehydration and protect homeostasis. Acute dehydration can cause death. Homeostasis imbalance is responsible for heat stroke, which can also cause death. But, there are some common complaints that many people have on a daily basis, which they do not equate with minor or low level dehydration. They include: Stomach ache, headache, joint pain, body aches, back pain, constipation, fatigue, inability to concentrate and confusion. In acute dehydration, these symptoms become severe. On a day-to-day basis, people may notice pain in the joints, particularly in the knees. When the body senses a lack of fluid, it pulls fluid away from non-essential systems, such as the fluid that cushions the joints. In particular, it will choose those sources of fluid that are farthest away from the brain and the heart. That would be the knees and the ankles. People with chronic headaches will be amazed by the benefits of drinking water daily, in an amount that exceeds the minimal 64 ounce rule. Headaches can be alleviated without pain killers, if one takes a moment to de-stress and drinks a big glass of pure water. The purity of the beverages that you drink is of great importance. Beverages bottled in plastic are not pure. The toxins in them work against ideal homeostasis. Your best choice is to install a home purification system and enjoy the many benefits of purified drinking water daily. I'm sure you'll be surprised.
My new pitcher has an incredible new breakthrough in filtration material that does far more than any other filter pitcher available. I could tell with my first sip. Seriously! Thank you Timothy for sending me this water pitcher. I love it!
This company really has a lot to offer and what a great thing to do for your health. If you are like me and drink a TON of water a day or even just the daily requirements you need a good pitcher. It is so important to drink water and good water at that. I try and drink a gallon a day if at all possible. Friends of Water has several to choose from and awesome deals right now. Please head over to their website and see for yourself. I give them a 10!
Hope you are drinking your water today (everyday for that matter) and I will see you tomorrow!
