Question from Star
I seem to react badly to carbon, but am also allergic to something (possibly pesticides) in my tap water (Berkeley, CA) so I want to buy a counter-top or portable filter without carbon. Any ideas?
Thanks!

There are no water filter that remove the pollutants that carbon removes without carbon.
However, there are different types of carbon and various degrees of purity. Many filters are made with carbon from China that might contain contaminants.
The Pure Effect water filters I recommend contain “allergy-free” carbon that is certified by NSF. The entire unit is made in the USA.
I would suggest that you try this filter and see if you tolerate it. I’ve been told by the company that my customers have reported that they are happy with the unit as am I.
