You’re way ahead of the curve if you’ve decided to remove fluoride from your water. After all, there are still municipalities thinking “hey, let’s be smart and fluoridate the water!” When we peek back at history, the rush to fluoridate public water involved very little thought, just some circumstantial evidence regarding dental health, combined with the too-hasty social fervor to jump on the bandwagon of “science has a solution for everything.”
The science showing how questionable fluoridated water is came later, but too late. The brainwashing had begun. There is reluctance to loosen the grip on tightly held beliefs, apparently…even half a century later.
Now we have a different scenario: when we decide to de-fluoridate, it seems we still don’t have enough answers to make a 100 percent sure choice about the filter we should use to accomplish the task. There are too many variables, such as the level of pollutants in the pre-treated water, pH level, how quickly the water passes through a particular filter system, etc, to allow us to find nice neat little test results that provide an obvious answer.
For example, some will point to activated alumina for fluoridation removal. It is said to be 98 to 100% effective, as long as you get the flow rate just right. There is an additional bonus of also removing arsenic and lead. The fluoride is mostly gone, but now there can be activated alumina to get out of the water.
Reverse osmosis sounds like alumina déjà vu: 90 to 95% of the fluoride can be removed, but it takes two to four gallons of water to capture one fluoride-free gallon. That gallon is basically devoid of life force, requiring the addition of other ingredients to boost it back up to life-supporting status.
Then there is bone char. It is said to be the oldest method of freeing water of fluoride 
content, with up to a 90% removal rate. How bone char and activated carbon differ may be pertinent to your search for the best water filtering method. Bone char is made with animal bones that are heated to 1,292 degrees F., in low oxygen conditions, which enhances the product’s adsorption abilities. For vegans, it may not be an option. In contrast, activated carbon is similarly processed, and can be derived from animal or vegetable sources.
Dr. Richard Sauerheber, professor of chemistry with University of California, has looked extensively at the fluoride issue, and believes bone char filters are the most effective.
Getting rid of fluoride in your drinking water can also boost your health, since other unhealthy contaminants can be removed via filtering. Activated carbon filter methods can, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council (consulted since they are not sellers or promoters of any particular filter brand), rid water of chlorine, disinfecting products, heavy metals [think arsenic, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, zinc], parasites, pesticides, radon and volatile organic chemicals, such as dichlorobenzene, methyl tert butyl ether and tricholoroethylene. The Environmental Protection Agency says radio-nuclides can be removed with granular activated carbon. I could not determine for sure if thallium is removed with activated charcoal filtering, but it is used in hospitals for internal poisoning from thallium.
So yes, take action to avoid poisoning yourself. The bone char filters may be the best route. I think about the village in Alaska, Hooper Bay, where the town’s fluoridated water system malfunctioned and 296 residents were poisoned. It was 1992. Most of the victims had severe GI pain as well as symptoms associated with heart malfunction. One person died. Fluoride can be nasty stuff, obviously, and there is evidence it may bio-accumulate in the body.
It’s clear that treated carbon products have an impressive history of service to health and well-being.
Just one more example: if you are dealing with an algae issue, Ohio State University reports using activated carbon, combined with a membrane filter, for “significantly” reducing algae toxins. To truly make the best water filtration choice, it’s wise to invest in a thorough water test and determine what is in your water to start with.

Derailment in Montana with shipment of Sawyer Filters. Photo by Patti Kern-Parcel[/caption]
Announcing a Train Wreck Sale at Highwater Filters!
We are seriously over-stocked on some of our Sawyer products after a train derailment in Montana on July 18th delayed a big order en route from Florida. With little information about the fate of our shipment, we were forced to request an identical order for more of the same. It apparently took over a week to clean up the mess but by last Friday, the derailed shipment was on its way. Both the delayed shipment and the replacement shipment arrived this week. There was no damage to any of the products that were on the wrecked train!
We need to move the excess inventory this unfortunate event caused. For a limited time, we are reducing prices on the SP131 Sawyer Squeeze, the SP181 Sawyer All in One Filter and the SP191 Point Zero Two Purifier Kit. These prices will probably never be this low again.
And check out our new promotional deal: Our 40/40 Special. Buy any water treatment product of $40 or more and get a Katadyn Carbon Cartridge for 40% off! You need to use the coupon code CCDEAL to get your discount.
Highwater Filters now sells the LifeStraw and Watersafe City Water and Well Water Test Kits!

I've had a few customers ask me about shower filters so I did some research and found a U.S. company that has great filters at reasonable prices. I am excited to add Rainshow'r products to my growing inventory of American made water treatment. I'm so impressed with the construction of these filters. The reviews I've read are glowing so I'm pretty sure you will be happy with one of these products if you live anywhere that chlorinates the water.
Chlorine is a toxin but is an effective chemical for treating water and many of our municipal water supplies are treated this way. But it dries out the skin and damages the hair. Here's a great solution. They are easy to install in most showers. They come in an assortment of models with interchangeable shower heads, if you need one. They even make a Chrystal Ball, if you prefer baths. 
Rainshow'r also sells an assortment of garden filters and I will be listing these soon. It's time to start planning our gardens, if you haven't already. Winter is still hanging on out here in Washington, but Spring is definitely in the air.
I've got all Rainshow'r products marked way down as an Introductory Offer. Some of the items have limited inventory, but I'll order more soon based on interest. Order today so you don't miss out on this great offer. It won't last long!

I just found out that the Sawyer SP181 Emergency Water Filter Bucket Kit has been improved and now includes the adaptable Squeeze bottle for lightweight carrying. So you can use this with a bucket or pack it into the bush. It also includes a faucet adaptor, so you can use it with your tap water, too.
I spoke with Sawyer today and found that the SP181 was originally designed for disaster relief but so many survivalists have embraced this product that they've upgraded for those on the go.
I'm so excited about this new development that I've priced the Sawyer All-in-One filters at a rock bottom introductory price of $42.99. That's considerable less than you will find in stores at $69.99 or on the web where they are selling for $59.99 at most outlets. I can only offer this price for a day or two, or until my current supplies last. I just put in a big order for more. I think this product is going to sell fast.
Don't miss out on this great price at Highwater Filters!

It's Leap Year and we all know that doesn't come around too often. So why not celebrate with the most practical purchase you may ever make? It doesn't really take a leap of faith to understand that your water is vulnerable. Whether your source is a well or a municipal water system, your water could be at risk from a multitude of sources. At Highwater Filters, we have the solution for you.
A point-of-use water filter is an inexpensive, convenient way to filter your water. There are a variety of choices to match your needs, including counter top and under counter models. There are filters for every need and just about every contaminant. At Highwater Filters, we strive to find the best products that are tested, effective, and reliable. We look for companies that have integrity and reputation. We listen to what consumers are saying. We ask hard questions. We want to provide the best products for our customers.
You don't need to worry about what comes out of your tap. You don't need to lug heavy containers with purified water from the store. You don't need to buy water in plastic bottles that have no guarantee of purity and that could leach harmful chemicals into your water. You don't need to take up space on your counter with bulky gravity-drip containers. An attractive filter at the tap or under the counter is really all you need. With a cost of just pennies for each gallon, it makes good sense.
Most of our products are produced right here in the U.S.A. There is a good reason for this. I am personally committed to supporting American industry and resolute in doing my part in helping the local economy.
Several years ago, I lost my job when the economy weakened. My job was outsourced as my company tried to cut costs to compete on the worldwide market. It was a humbling experience, but it only served to motivate me to help make the change I envision for our country. A vision that includes vibrant small businesses competing in the marketplace. A vision that includes pure drinking water for everyone.
Just over a year ago, I took a leap of faith as I ventured into the life of a small business entrepreneur. It's been an educational and eye-opening experience. I can't believe how far this business has come already. I look forward to the future.
Part of our success so far is our competitive nature and our commitment to customer service. Just yesterday I had a customer email and tell me that if I need a reference, he would be happy to provide one. It's just one more example of how we strive to make every customer 100% satisfied with our products and service. We guarantee it.
Please check out our great deals on water filters, purifers, distillers, and more. And check back for new products coming soon, including a complete line of Rainshow'r products for removing chemicals from your bathwater. I am so excited to add these products to my inventory. Look for a celebratory intro sale soon!
Thanks for stopping by!

Sorry, the sale is over. Check back on March 11 when we will be having a very special sale in commemoration of the anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima.
Highwater Filters is celebrating our very first year of sales on Friday, February 24. We want to invite you to join us in commemorating this milestone by offering you the lowest price on the web for the Katadyn Pocket.
$250!
I've checked around. The lowest I can find is on ebay for $264.99 (with free shipping) so I am going to set this very special anniversary sale price at $250!
[caption id="attachment_1204" align="alignright" width="149" caption="One year and counting..."]
[/caption]
This sale ends Friday so don't delay!
We so appreciate all the folks who helped us make our first year a big success. It's hard to believe it's been a year since our first sale. The memories are vivid as we launched the site that day a year ago and then watched as.... nothing happened. At least not right away. And then the horrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan struck and turned our world upside down.
On March 11, I woke in the middle of the night and could not sleep. I then did something I don't normally do in the wee hours. I went online. And it was in the early morning of March 11 (or probably March 12) that I learned of the tragedy in Japan. I didn't realize how catastrophic it was at the time. I didn't realize how it would impact my business. But when people around the world witnessed the devastating aftermath of the tsunami, we collectively realized our vulnerabilities.
And access to clean drinking water is a priority for people in a disaster.
As the events in the wake of Fukushima unfolded were realized, orders for the Katadyn Pocket soared. The manufacturers in Switzerland could not keep up on orders. Their North American headquarters in Minnesota were backed up with thousands of orders. And I happened to be well stocked with the Pocket.
I've continued to keep our inventory well stocked as I watched Katadyn increase their prices over and over again. The manufacturer's retail price was $269 when I first started my business. They list for $369. today. That is a hefty increase and I've begun to notice other resellers dropping the Pocket from their product offerings. I may end up doing the same after my stash is depleted.
Look for another sale on the first anniversary of the Japan earthquake. That will be a more somber day, but let us not forget the victims of the terrible tragedy a year ago. So many lives lost and so much damage to the people of Japan. My heart goes out to them.
Thanks for stopping by!

Now is the best time to purchase a Katadyn water filter at Highwater Filters. I've just reduced all my Katadyn products by a whopping 25%!
You probably won't find a Katadyn Pocket for less than this rock-bottom price of $263. This is probably the last time you will see the Katadyn Expedition priced at less than $900. All accessories are reduced as well.
Katadyn prices have been steadily increasing in the past year. Since I took over this website less than a year ago (it was previously katadynwaterfilter.com) the price of the Katadyn Pocket has jumped by $100! Although it is the gold standard of portable water filters, a price increase to $369 starting in January will price this rugged and dependable water filter out of reach for many consumers. So here's your opportunity to get one at a very reasonable price.

Sorry, this Sale has ended. Check back for future bargains and check our website for current sale items.
At Highwater Filters, we are concerned for the safety of all those who may be in harms way during the oncoming Hurricane Irene. Please be safe and take every precaution to avoid injury.
It's times like this that many of us realize the vulnerability we face with the possibility of mass power outages. If you've never been through an emergency like Katrina or other major hurricanes, earthquakes, or natural disasters, you may not have considered that without electricity, you will most likely be without running water. This is why so many prepared people keep an emergency portable, non-electric water filter or purifier on hand.
Following the tsunami in Japan, there was a tremendous rush on portable water filters. Katadyn Pockets became back ordered for weeks and even months. Don't let this happen to you. We are stocked with Katadyn products, Sawyer products, Life Saver distiller kits, and more. Order before the inevitable rush.
And please take advantage of our 20% off discount so you will be ready for the next unexpected disaster.
Be safe!
