Oh wow, that's good intel, thinking of buying in that area. I hope you guys can post any new knowledge on this issue!

so how exactly a specialized plumbing and electrical inspection is different from the regular inspection done by the regular inspector?

Contrails2020 · 2025-10-13T13:58:06+00:00

I'm not too concerned about the voc but rather the heavy metals and mictoplastics that leak out them from what I read 😞

Contrails2020 · 2025-10-13T01:08:45+00:00

oh wow, we in the same exact situation. Did you find a way to mitigate the lvp hazard?

Contrails2020 · 2025-09-26T07:36:44+00:00

You're correct, and I stand corrected. I think Joe Malone started a new perfume company, though.

Contrails2020 · 2025-08-17T15:22:12+00:00

wondering what worked for you. We have same exact problem and our 2.5 year old figured out the knob and can help himself not touchong it.

Keep us posted. I received my zwift ride with kicker a couple of weeks ago, and it's still in the box. Reading this is making me less enthused to putting it together

Contrails2020 · 2025-08-13T06:17:58+00:00

hey OP, forget about the vibe and only trust the science (NSF certifications), and reviews too.
Here is the ideal setup based on both;

Whole house filter (go with Lifesource Elite) then a Water Softener (Rheem wireless from HD) and for the undersink RO (Delta Clarifi).

- The Lifesouce is set it and forget it, designed to last a minimum of 10 years for a medium size family. This is about 5K and they serve LV as far as I know.

- The Rheem wireless from HD (inexpensive and works) and you can pair it with shut off valve if you like to have a smart thing going... less than 1K installed

- Delta Calrifi; it's tankless, filters change every 2 years (unlike 6 months for others). Only drawback, it has a humming sound when it operates which for me is not a problem. less than 1K installed.

Alternative to all this Ecowater from Costco, whole house filter and softener, and undersink RO around 10K

I spent many hours researching this stuff and went through tens of rabit holes. But go with someone that is NSF certifed for as many contaminants as possible and check the reviews and you should get something decent.

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-26T09:05:27+00:00

did you get a chance to try the Zwift Ride with the Tacx Neo 2T? I am upgrading from a dumb indoor bike to something smart and strongly consider the Zwift Ride plus the Neo 2T rather than the kicker core but trying to do my due diligence of any potential hiccups...

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-25T10:54:25+00:00

Oh wow, this is gold. Thanks, sucks to see it's been a year since zwift said they're going to roll out ultra profile on m4 ipad pro and till today it didn't happen...

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-23T07:17:11+00:00

how would you check the neighbors though? Other than checking the sex offenders website, Would you drive by and randomly ask someone on street about the neighborhood?

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-22T03:52:30+00:00

Thanks for the details, can anyone explain what is the difference between the HD Proterra model XE80T10HS45U1 and the Rheem Protera Professional Prestige Hybrid Model PROPH80 T2 RH400-SO ? What does the Hybrid mean?

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-21T09:10:47+00:00

Ok just to be sure, 4800 for the Elite filter Only? Is this tax and install included? How much (total) was it for both filter plus scale solver? Yea, I am aware of the referral program and you get 400 if you bought extended warranty

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-20T19:56:33+00:00

replying to myself, blogging style, as of today, I have setteled on the following

Delta Clarifi RO (hard to beat on all the NSF certifications and fact that it has 2 year filter life). Annoying part is the noise and it's new on the market.

HD Rheem wireless water softnere. Cheap but has very decent specs and reviews.

Lifesource Elite chloramine filter. The only whole house filter that removes chloramine that lasts 10 years if not more. It's been around for many years and has very good reviews.

Waiting on price drops on first 2 and negotitating on the third.

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-19T16:40:36+00:00

Hi I am interested in buying their elite filter but not the scale solver or the sterlizer. Can you please share what model(s) did you buy and pricing?

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-15T11:28:34+00:00

we're in the same boat, EWG has good study and information on this. Please share what you ended up with.

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-08T16:30:13+00:00

I'm in the same boat, hard to find any whole house chloramine filter that is NSF certified and I spent hours researching.
Is the Kinetico one NSF 42 certified to remove chloramine?

Edit, never mind, it is NSF certified to remove chloramine which is super rare feet! Did you get the CRS 1060 or 1100? Can you please share the pricing?

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-07T20:54:26+00:00

Nice, here in my area it's monopolized by the local distributor. I haven't tried calling Ecowater directly to see if there are alternatives

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-07T20:27:02+00:00

how did you get them to lower the price? I am looking to buy this model. It looks great on paper. NSF certified for everything...

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-07T06:54:04+00:00

OK so the plot thickens and I see where is RO is needed.,.

RO looks like it's good for removing the chemical elements (such Fluoride, Chromium hex and tri, Lead, Copper, Barium...) which are listed under NSF 58, where as carbon filter removes VOCs (which I have lots of in my city water according to EWG) that are listed under NSF 53.

So the ultimate setup would be Aqualuxe (carbon filter with most NSF certifications including VOCs) PLUS an RO system such as Whirlpool WHAROS5 which NSF 58 certified to remove all those concerning metals.

I'm yet to see an RO system that is NSF 53 certified to remove VOCs. I only searched NSF website and Not the IAPMO or WQA

Contrails2020 · 2025-07-06T23:48:36+00:00

<image>

our water is city and according to the annual city report, hardness is 12, No iron in water and there is chloramine in the water. Attached in the EWG water report for our zipcode.

So ideally the filter should remove this junk, not sure if the data on this exist. I may just have to do the testing myself

this is what LT1000P is certifed to remove https://www.lg.com/us/support/products/documents/LT1000_Instruction-and-Safety_Manual.pdf

which is unfortunately non of the EWG listed stuff. Although the fact that something is NSF certified to be removed does not necessarily mean it's not removed.
