I am a nutritionist in the Rocky Mountains of the US, and write pro bono, health-related articles.

For years water filter companies assured us they did not remove "beneficial fluoride"--fluoride being a Nazi-era corruption of public water supplies and a grotesque violation of Public Health. Nor have water filters, carafe or otherwise, been designed to remove radiation. I began researching availability of rad-removal filters the day after Japan's quake, tsunami and nuclear disaster--dismaying non-availability. I kept looking, and found a small US business which utilizes US-made filters, not ones from China.

The unit is three-stage and impressive, and easy install. I used to enjoy spring water on my organic farm years ago. This filtered water has that bright pure taste. Definitely a strong recommendation, in our new global reality of Fukushima-fallout.
