Water & Air Filter recommendations:
Water Filters:
Aquasana*

Berkey

Clearly Filtered*

Grayl* (bottle for on-the-go filtration, great for traveling!)

iSpring Reverse Osmosis (or other types of reverse-osmosis filters)

Multipure

Pur*
The ones with an asterisk (*) are the least expensive. You'll see that the popular Brita filters are not on this list. Brita fails to filter our heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria, parasites, or fungi. If you have a Brita, it's time to upgrade!
Air Filters:
BlueAir (also available at Costco)

iQ Air

Austin Air (the Allergy Machine is the best option if you have asthma and/or are sensitive to mold)

Air Doctor

Coway (on amazon)

or any PURE HEPA Filter
It’s good to be aware of how harmful things are, but the truth is we live in a very toxic world. There is a lot we can’t control, but we can focus on what we can control and every little step counts.
