water filter recommendation?

[cam00]

If the contamination of heavy metals is a problem, then an R/O system will take them out. The water will taste flat, it doesn't taste like really good activated carbon filtered water, or a fresh clean spring fed water. It would be out-of the question to try and add the minerals that a R/O system strips from the water. It wouldn't be easy to match or even find the correct levels of the types of minerals that are normally found in fresh, pure, natural water.

R/O systems are more complex to install, waste a great deal of water, have more components and connections that can leak, more complex to maintain, and require more frequent filter purchases to maintain them at the level of contaminant removal than, say the MULTI-PURE or AMWAY activated carbon filtration systems. They are two of the best activated carbon filter systems on the market, worldwide.

But, that being said, if a critical concern for heavy metal contamination exists, the R/O system is the only way to remove them. OR, possibly a type of micro fine ceramic filter might remove them.
