Water is a vital part of all forms of life. So when I read about the Japan earthquake disaster in 2012 and of the outpour from Fukishima. This lead me to think about the purity of my own drinking water.
In NYC the water system is formed with old pipes. A Brita filter would not be able to filter out all the metallic compounds found in the water. So we looked at replace our water filtration system which incorporated a "Reverse osmosis" system.
I try to drink 3 liters of water a day if possible so its important to ensure you are drinking the best water as possible.
One of the contenders is Kinetico system by Aqualife. It has a perchlorate guard. Perchlorate is a by-product which is known to cause thyroid issues.

So this is what we got installed
Picture 1: on the left is a glass of normal tap water. The indicator, shows there are 46 toxins in the water (it should only read 2). This includes, metals, chemicals etc.
I'm pretty happy with the reduced numbers. I've been told that after 10 days the number will go down as the system gets used a bit more.
A week later and my skin has cleared up on its own thanks to the filter on the showerhead.

Picture 2: On the right is water from my new kinetico water system. Showing that there are just 6 chemicals in the water.
