SERIOUS QUESTION. ... Does a water filter remove radiation from water?

Here's a link for some really good RO units. I own of their 2 stage filters...

Ya but we gotta fight it - just cause

No and what do I needto learn?

anyone in cali, I highly recommend this

If your stupid enough to believe it yes!

Particulate contaminants, yes; depending on the micronic efficiency of the filter. Will not restore irradiated water. Need to distill the water to do that, and then you have the radiation contaminants to dispose of, deal with....

Good point, Lester.

I found this press Release On a Radiation Remover

Radioactive Removal Press Release For April 8, 2011

Total Radioisotope Aqua Purifier (The Rad Trap)

Loprest Water Treatment Company now offers a countertop cartridge filter capable of removing radioactive particles from drinking water. The cartridge filter uses a unique blend of filter medias, including zeolites and ion exchange polymers, that selectively remove radioactive isotopes from drinking water whether they are naturally occurring or from decay products of man-made nuclear fuels.

The cartridge includes a media that specifically removes Iodine 131, another for Cesium 137 and another for Strontium 90. These isotopes are retained within the filter cartridge, keeping the consumer from ingesting even minute radioactive particles, well below the maximum contaminant level (MCL) allowed by the federal EPA. The cartridge media also removes other contaminants including suspended solids, chlorine and organics.

Loprest Water Treatment makes filtration equipment for the removal of Arsenic, Chrome VI, Iron, Manganese and Nitrate from groundwater sources. Please visit our website for additional details www.loprest.com

I called them and they said the product will be available this week

Excellent information. Thank you, Snow man.

I'm sorry to say that distills will not remove radiation from the water itself. I have a company that sells them and would love it if they did...

I am a distributor for the Rad Trap and will be getting an order in soon, hopefully next week. We are taking inquiries on our website if you are interested in getting a notification when they are available for sale. I am working on getting a link on the NuWater Concepts (Loprest) website for individual orders. They are being swamped with orders right now. You can get on the wait list by going here: [ [link to www.highwaterfilters.com]

You have to follow the link on the left sidebar to see the TRAP radiation filter info. [ [link to www.highwaterfilters.com]

BERKERY WATER PURIFICATION FILTER SYSTEMS CLAIM TO TAKE RADON OUT OF WATER FILTERED THROUGH THERE BLACK FILTERS

I've now got the TRAP radiation filters available in my webstore.

didnt read all posts..we went w a reverse osmosis system w an added fluoride filter(read up on if not aware.several books on fluoride as toxin)..very effective.if u have children u need to give them mineral supplements w this process.the system removes those minerals also..

Reverse Osmosis would remove most but not all.

The only way to be sure is distillation. But then you have to worry about how to dispose of what doesn't go over the condenser to the other side.

I have been working on an non electric h2o water distiller. Everybody really should have a means to create distilled water at home. Made mine with a stainless steel tea kettle and stainless steal coil. works great!

The Berkey water filtration systems will remove Radon 222 and there are several commercial patents being developed to remove radiation from water as well as a couple survivalist methods out there.

What happens when you use your Microwave to Heat Radiation contaminated Water?????

i cannot see how reverese osmosis Can decontaminate water poluted with radiation if the fine filter in the reverse somosis allows water molucules to pass through radiation particles which Must be smaller must pass too maybe distillation If radiation particles are heavy may stay in the botom as for filters no way If it was that easy why would they have dumped so much condaminated water in the pacific?

i have no education aa such But what i believe maybe the best solution is Clay it will take over 800 years for clay mixed in a glass of water for all the clay to settle on the bottom so its got to be so fine maube fine enough to filter EVERYTHING OUT including radiation anyclay left in the water can be revoved with many filters

i may be totally wrong as usuall of course

err no, radiation sticks to everything you put some in a filter then everything else that goes through the filter will be radioactive too

You probably knew this, but just to be clear, you don't want to remove "radioactivity" from water. The water isn't radioactive. (Well maybe if the hydrogen were replaced with deuterium or tritium, but that's not the risk.)

You want to remove radioactive particles from the water. Like, a particle of plutonium that, if you drank it, could get stuck in your body and emit radiation into your body for years, likely causing cancer.

No, the filter will then be holding a radioactive particle. When you change the filter, you throw out the radioactive particle. Until then, if the filter does its normal job, it will hold onto that particle.

Filters themselves (paper filters, charcoal, etc.) and the water itself do not tend to become radioactive.

There's an anti-radiation filter that uses the same substance used in Chernobyl and by British Nuclear Facilities to remove various radioisotopes from water, it also reduces Fluoride and Drug Residues, check it out:

www.PureEffectFilters.com

I heard RO systems also remove minerals and electrolytes from the water, which makes the water more acidic. And they waste a lot of water during the filtration process.

TRAP radiation filter are on sale for 20% off at Highwater Filters. [link to www.highwaterfilters.com] One week left. Check it out!

for good info in trying times




may all discern their best course of action and be able to implement it easily
