If you have a water test meter, run some of your distilled water through one of your filters, measuring the conductance before and after. When I did this test here are my results: distilled water before filtering = .5 uS. After running the distilled water through an unbleached (brown) paper coffee filter 5.0 uS. So the filter added 4.5 uS of 'something'. To my surprise, distilled water of .5 uS filtered through a bleached (white)paper coffee filter came out 3.2 uS. So contrary to common belief the bleached filter added less 'something' than the unbleached one. Don't know what either 'something' is though. I used Melitta cone paper filters.
That was fun!

I am more concerned about filtering out silver I went to the trouble of putting in. Even if it is visible flakes of silver, it is just .9999 pure silver after all and can't hurt anything, and it is just possible such large silver particles might be useful in the stomach or further down in the intestinal tract. Why would I filter out silver and toss it? I don't filter, and don't worry about it either.

Well I always buy unbleached filters. Are they still unsafe?
