​What's so great about gravity water filters?

Plenty! They're simple to use and can give you a fresh ​supply of clean drinking water any time and any place.

But how do you know which one is the best?​ There are so many to pick from these days!

When I learned about the bad effects that fluoride can have on our health, I knew that I had to do something to protect myself and my family.

Sound familiar?

I'll bet you landed here because you have fluoride in your drinking water and you want to get it out.

If you're not sure how to remove fluoride from your water, you've come to the right place. In this review I'll tell you about four different types of filters that will get rid of the fluoride.

You'll also find mini reviews of the specific models that I recommend in each category.

Are you looking for a gravity type water filter that works well but won't cost you an arm and a leg?

If you are, then you need to check out the Alexapure Pro water filtration system.

It's a stainless steel gravity filter that ranks right up there with Berkey and Propur, but it costs less to buy, and it costs less to maintain.

Did you ever meet an amazing person and you thought "Gee, they must come from a great family"?

And then you meet the family, and it turns out you were right!

Sometimes products can be kind of like that. You try one product​ and have a good experience with it, so you decide to try out another member of the "family". 

What's holding you back from buying a Berkey filter? Is it the price?

If that's all it is, I've got good news for you!

I'll admit it. I'm partial to Berkey water filters. I've owned one for over five years and I've been happy with it. It's the only brand of gravity water filter that I knew about.

But recently I came across Propur, a newer brand that's giving Berkey a run for the money.

Are you wondering if the water coming into your home is safe to drink? It's not something any of us can take for granted anymore.

Maybe you've already decided that you want to buy a water filter. Now you need to figure out which one is right for you.

Berkey or Propur? Propur or Berkey?

If you're thinking about buying a gravity water filter, there's a good chance you've narrowed your choices down to these two brands. They look similar and they cost about the same, but there are some differences that you'll want to know about. 

If you're considering getting a Berkey water filter, you want to know exactly what contaminants it will take out of the water. You could go to the manufacturer's website and take a look at the independent lab test results they have published there. But it's several pages of about a zillion different chemicals and micro-organisms that you'd have to be a scientist to understand.
