Question from john
Dear Debra,
i have been at a water desalination shop, and i found an automatic filter device that uses, carbon, active carbon, r osmosis and odor (removes chlorine) filtration all in one.
i asked the vendor for the casing (housing) that holds the filters, where the water passes by.
unfortunately, he mentioned that it is made of polyethylene! they have another option, a fiber glass housing. the salesman said its usually used for chemical plants and the polyethylene for home use.
he also mentioned that the polyethylene is approved by several organizations and is safe.
i read some article about fiber glass, some were saying its safe, and others were warning to use it!
Debra’s Answer
I would choose the polyethylene. It is used in many food and water applications and does not leach toxic chemicals.
If you are going to use reverse osmosis, please add a bit of mineral-rich sea salt or Himilayan salt to the water to liven it up!
