Күн бұрын

We put an Alexapure Pro water filter system to the test using a certified third party laboratory. We tested two different samples of water: 1) treated city water, and 2) untreated river water. Watch as Brian walks through the test results data to see how well this gravity-fed water filter system performed.

I just reached out to Alexapure as I recently purchased one of their gravity feed units. When shown your tests, here's their response... John thank you so much for reaching out to us. I would love to answer any questions you may have. When I click the link to your website you are looking at, it does not show an actual certified testing lab. It only shows a personal at home test that shows the fluoride numbers. It is not accurate for a home test. Ours is done by a lab and it does take time and lots of money to perform the testing. As for the Water Pitchers, we do not claim that it reduces fluoride, but the only product that can reduce the fluoride is the Alexapure water filtration unit. I hope this helps. I do appreciate your work, but for me, I'll go by the more extensive testing, as they have.

@@2fast2block Hey John, thanks for sharing. As is mentioned in the video, our testing was conducted using Simplelab's Tap Score product, which utilizes a network of only certified labs. You can learn all about their testing process and lab certifications here mytapscore.com/pages/science. So to say our test was not conducted using a certified lab is false. The goal of this project was not to test to the same rigorous standards that the certification organizations do (WQA, NSF, etc.) - but to simply performance test the system using our own tap water to see how well it worked. Because of this, our data was not comprehensive in that we did not intentionally add contaminants on purpose for the sake of testing, and the contaminants that did appear were already existing in our tap water. I hope this helps clarify a bit.

@@waterfilterguru "So to say our test was not conducted using a certified lab is false." What you supplied, it reads "After our labs evaluate your drinking water, we generate your Tap Score using an algorithm that removes subjectivity and supports unbiased solutions." Where does it read your meter specifically is all they use for fluoride? All you did was use tap water and compared it to their filtered water. If your meter is not correct, it means nothing. Just reading from one lab about their fluoride testing..."The Intertek laboratory in Antwerp, Belgium provides fluorine and fluoride testing. The lab uses an Antek 9000F Fluoride analyzer. The fluoride, fluorine testing instrument uses pyro-hydrolysis with ion specific electrode (ISE) detection, and runs testing according to the standard method UOP Method 975-02 - Fluorine in Liquid Hydrocarbons and LPG by Oxidative Combustion with Ion-Selective Electrode. Detection of fluorine in solids, gases & liquids are possible using this technique as the apparatus is equipped with a gas, liquid syringe and solid boat module. Fluoride analysis sensitivity can reach 0.1 ppm depending upon sample type and sample introduction." Is yours like that? "we did not intentionally add contaminants on purpose" I never alluded to you did that. Let's stay within reason.

I work in a city lab where we test city well water, canals, river and treated wastewater. Alexa filter performed better than any other filter we ever tested. There is no added fluoride in potable water just natural traces that are pulled from deep water wells. We’re been testing filters for a decade now so not just one random test. I don’t know how you got your results but our results are the same or better than the manufacturers claims.

We treat it by oxidizing with chlorine, ozon and membrane system to remove suspended solids. Testing water filters is something we do on the side, city hall doesn’t even know and if they did we would probably be fired. This is something that we started doing on the side for our families benefit because the bureaucrats were lying to the public about many things including our water treatment. We pay for the filters we test out of our own pocket and use the lab for testing on down time where there is plenty. We all tell people to filter their water but mostly we get laughed at.

Thanks for the video. It answered many of my questions. Berky uses an activated aluminum in their white filters to eliminate fluoride. Unfortunately it adds aluminum, reportedly to levels above safe. I suppose you could filter that same water again with the black filter to get rid of the aluminum though. Maybe you could stack another tank on top. That way you could filter out the contaminants from the first filter directly into another filter. At this point I'm wondering if just combining oxygen and hydrogen gasses might be more efficacious. 😉

Hi, thanks for your comment! Sounds like you are referring to the data examined in our Berkey test video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7yKoL2oud7SfZc.html - please keep in mind, as is mentioned in that video, that was just one test and the PF2 fluoride filters we used may have been defective. That said, we are currently in the processes of re-testing a different set of PF2 filters to see if we get the same activated alumina leaching issue or not. As for stacking filters and so on, it might just be easier and more effective to use a countertop RO system (assuming you are filtering treated city water)

i switched from Berkey to Alexapure 3 years ago. The main reason for changing was i had to have 2 additional filters for fluoride with the Berkey that only last about 3 months vs Alexapure's claim that their Pro filter removes flouride. i live alone and when i originally purchased the Alexapure, they had similar claims of filter longevity as Berkey (i.e., thousands of gallons). Now i see Alexapure only guarantees their filters for 200 gallons? Really? That's a massive change? i'm guessing they may be doing a CYA on that one because they have to meet California standards to sell there, and maybe they have to lower the bar to meet the guidelines across the whole spectrum of what they test for? idk, but am kinda bummed about both those factors.

I would love for you test the Clear2O water filter pitcher, the one that uses a "solid" carbon filter and not a granular carbon filter, like most other filters. With the Clear2O you need to screw on the adapter to your faucet tap and then hook up the pitcher hose to your faucet. When you turn on your tap, water is forced through the solid carbon filter. I've been using this system for years BUT I have no idea how effective it is. It does seem reasonable, however, that a solid carbon filter won't channel like granular filters. I can't find any information as to if Clear2O's solid carbon filters were tested by the NSF or other reputable third parties. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated. Also, are you aware of the Berkey class action lawsuit? What are your thoughts? Because I live in a rental apartment, I need to use a water pitcher and opposed to under sink mounted filters. Which water pitcher manufacturer removes PFOA and PFAS? I did check out Tap Score. It looks like it will cost near $1,000 to test my NYC water for contaminants including PFOA and PFAS. Yikes! Because I don't trust water sitting in plastic water pitchers all day long, even in the fridge, I was thinking about getting the Aarke glass and stainless steel water pitcher but unlike the Clear2O it uses granular activated instead of solid carbon. The Aarke looks like it might not be better than your standard Brita but at least the water is not sitting in plastic.

@waterfilterguru 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the request! I've added the Clear2O pitcher to our list of systems to consider for a future project. The Clearly Filtered pitcher is WQA certified for PFOA and PFOS reduction bit.ly/3XEksYj ZeroWater is NSF certified for PFOA and PFOS reduction tinyurl.com/y2wrs7xn So either of these would be a good choice for PFAs specifically.

To me, it seems like double distillation is the way to go and then adding the minerals back in from a pure source. Double distillation would need to occur in glass rather than stainless steel to avoid the vessel not causing nickel and the like to leach into the water. You can't store the double distilled water in the glass for long either without adding minerals back in as because it is double distilled, it will leach whatever is in the glass into the water unless you add minerals back in. Seems hard to get good water. Perhaps it is better to put that energy into getting organic nutrient-rich food. What are your thoughts on the ultimate solution? For me, double distilled with carbon filter. I remember reading some study about how even with double distillation a carbon filter was needed due to the different boiling points of some toxins that would still make their way through the double distillation process without the carbon filter.

The increases are from the filter stones added back to the water so the water tastes better and is not so pure that it is bad for you. The fluoride is from the calcium stone in the filter (calcium fluoride) and is different fluoride than the poison they add to tap water, which your tap water sample pre-filter had close to nothing, almost ten times lower than fluoridated water. Would be interested in seeing fluoridated city water (around 1.0 to 3.0 ppm) filtered... should result in 0.3, proving the filter's calcium stone is adding natural fluoride to the filtered water. Great video... thank you!

@waterfilterguru they told me that they do, I called them last year when I bought one, but the lady seemed to be reading off a script. What other reason would the filter increase fluoride in your opinion. By the way, I suspected that these filters were similar to the aluminum oxide fish tank stone bubblers and sure as ship, I looked up Berky and that is exactly what they use and they say is the reason lab test show an increase in aluminum; supposedly their aluminum oxide is not harmful like aluminum. Aluminum oxide is removes the flouride is there excuse for using it, but I think that is a cover for the fact that they are just using a giant fish bubbler stone and charging an fortune for it.

See our hypothesis again at 1:53. I do not think the filters themselves added fluoride, but rather did not do a good job of reducing it. We used a different water source to prime the filter to 100 gallons than the water source we used for the actual testing. The priming water had higher concentrations of the substances (including fluoride) detected post-filtration. We suspect that these impurities built up on and inside the filter, then came out in the filtered water during the test. Fluoride was not an analyte included in the river water test.

@johnjames5842 7 ай бұрын

I want to see the results after the filter is thoroughly broken in , say after 200 tank fills, and if the floride is still there. A Alexapure filter lasts our 3 person household a yr , and we fill It 1-2x per day, so 365 x 1.5 x 2gal =1095gallons or more.

Hi, this comment is a bit misinformed. First, the two sampling containers are different because each sample tests for different contaminants. Both bottles are included in the Tap Score' test kit, they are not from different tests. Second, PFOA/PFOS are two types of PFAs chemicals (aka forever chemicals). Fluoride is a completely different contaminant. PFAs chemicals do not 'contain' fluoride. Fluoride and PFAs are not related in any way.

While the CCR is a good starting point, it won't provide you with the full picture of the water quality at the home. Samples for the testing for these reports are taken at the treatment plant, BEFORE the water enters the distribution system and travels to the home where it can become re-contaminated - lead contamination being the most infamous example. This is why we always recommend lab testing at the home itself, which is the only way to get the full picture of the water situation at hand.
