Default Water Purifier

Anyone on the board have suggestions for a water purification system I can install in my apartment in Cabarete. I would like it for all the water coming in, not just at the kitchen sink for example.
Much Thanks
Yak

1) Get a phone book
2) Look in the Yellow Pages for "Purificadores de agua"

Robeyda has a pretty good system... There are lots more.

Hi Yak! I am curious as to why you want to "purify" all the incoming water. This means all the toilet , shower, clothes washer, garden sprinkling water will be "purified". Canadian Bob.

We drink out of the toilet.

I just figured that it would not be a bad idea when it came to brushing teeth and showering. It is a small apartment and other than the toilets it seemed reasonable. It is possible that I am way off course on this. What are your thoughts on this?

Not a bad idea in that area. I don't remember having any problems (stomach-wise) when we stayed there a few times for golf tournaments....I seldom drink bottled water, at least at that time....

You are probably going to be safer, is all.

A 5 gallon bottle of water delivered with a tip is under $2 USD, why bother?
