It is interesting that you got that answer since activated charcoal should remove arsenic. Is it the high pH of the water causing the problem? You might ask the question from other suppliers of activated charcoal filter systems and see if you get the same answer. Are you looking for whole house filtering or just for drinking water? Zeolite, bentonite and EDTA are all known to remove lead, mercury and arsenic. I have considered making a "Brita" style zeolite filter for water but have not yet had a compelling enough reason. I do take a mixture of zeolite and calcium bentonite daily. I prefer the non swelling calcium bentonite. One of the things I like about this is that the zeolite and bentonite form a lining on the intestinal walls and acts as an internal filter, of sorts, of food and water. It is also capabile of pulling toxins back through the intestinal wall. Here is an abstract of a study that confirms bentonite's ability to absorb toxins and to be especially effective against lead.

I keep a mixture of zeolite, calcium bentonite and water in a plastic squirt bottle and just take a squire of it once or twice a day. You can use this continuously. I also use EDTA orally but only on a periodic basis. There are low cost sources for both the zeolite and calcium bentonite. Just some thoughts. - Steve N -----Original Message----- From: Jean Baugh [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 10:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CS>Will try the water filter system and let you know what I think Hi Steve, Thank you for your help and information! I called the owner of the water processing machine and he was honest enough to tell me that my high pH water is not a good candidate for his water system. It will take out mercury but not arsenic. I understand we are high in ph, lead, mercury, arsenic and one more. I only wanted to make sure the water quality was good.
