As to the filter, I don't know - my husband takes care of it. It has a prefilter and a .2 micron filter.

And I think the question about bottled spring water is a great one. I will begin by saying my "risk tolerance" may be higher or lower than yours.

If I open a bottle of water or another beverage, drink from it and recap it, I will drink from it the next day. If I open a bottle or can of water, drink from it and leave it open, I assume it gets contaminated from the atmosphere, and toss it.

What about anyone else?

Thank you !

Hello. One of the hosts of the recent BronchamdNTM360 Social/coffee hour was adamant that bottled spring water (would this also include my beloved cans of seltzer?!) was potentially unsafe, generally, but one could check with the company to see if they use reverse osmosis. This seems to differ from what I have read from Prof. Falkinham, and I wonder if anyone else has info here? Thanks!
