I have a filtered water pitcher, and a filter on my kitchen faucet. Both give me the option to add a little flavor to the water with the press of a button. The more times i press the button, the stronger the flavor (raspberry at the moment).

Anyways, my question is, will this water still be good for me? I cant force myself to drink plain water, but I want to replace drinking soda with flavored water.(after ive read the effects that it has with the acidity/mineral levels in my body).

Is flavored water 2nd best to pure water?

I spend to replace the carbon filter on my water filter/pitcher every few months. Would the activated carbon used by home distillers be as good an option to filter my water? The exact brand I’m thinking about is Prestige stone activated carbon (.4-1.4mm), and I would be running it through a coffee filter in the existing housing on my water pitcher.

Can any chemists – amateur or professional – tell me if this would be a good or bad idea?

I’ve seen multiple portable water bottle brands that come with an insertable water filter. However, I know that with my water pitcher filter at home, it takes a little bit of time for the water to drip down and filter. Is this the case with these portable bottles as well?

Also, none of these brands state which type of filter they sell/use. Does anyone know which manufacturer sells purified, ceramic, or reverse osmosis filters?

Thanks!

The water is not safe to drink. I need a unit to take with me,
Where I will be living for over 3 months has no bore-hole and no connection to city water. I will be living in a house and will have to buy water for drinking and everything else. A water pitcher is not enough.
