Question from Amy E
I have very sever eczema and chemical sensitivities. Also I am breastfeeding an infant, and I am wondering what the best source of drinking water would be. (filter, distiller, botted etc?) I live in an apartment so a whole house filter is not an option. Also, our water has chlorine, not chloramine. Thank you.

Based on the information you’ve given me, most any activated carbon filter will do.
I would suggest an undersink or countertop model that connects to your plumbling, not a canister-type because they don’t have enough filter media.
Also you should get a shower filter because chlorine is absorbed through your skin when you take a shower or bath.
That said, I strongly suggest you get your water tested to see if there is anything else in your water you should be removing.
