Drinking water?

[trintiybella]

My daughter had high levels of manganese on urine test. I am looking for a bottled water or a delivery service in the NJ area that sells pure clean water. Can anyone recommend something. Thanks you.

I would also have your water tested

I'm also looking to change my water source. But I'm going to stop the bottled water delivery service and purchase a Berkey, a gravity-fed water filtration system. It gets top ratings.

I did check my water and it is very high in manganese. I also heard that the Berkley system is great, but I am sure it's too expensive for me right now. I was looking into just getting some water jugs delivered until I can save up. Thank You for the suggestions.

Would it make sense to buy purified water vs spring water since Manganese is a real problem for my daughter. I am thinking that the purified water would get all of the manganese out???

If it's distilled water it certainly would be clear of manganese. (I know distilled water is sold for filling car radiators for the very reason that it doesn't contain any mineral substances at all - in a radiator they can precipitate out and bung up the machinery). I don't know what kind of "purified water" we're talking about, what does it say on the label about how it's purified? Good luck.

 

Incidentally, if you live in a hard water area and then switch to purified water, she could possibly end up suddenly getting significantly less calcium and magnesium than she was, so if you are in a hard water area keep that in mind and compensate if need be.
