I am so glad that our family had artesan well water and the water to this day is still unbelievable.

Having said this - after moving out in the 80s I had to drink Toronto water. Anyhow, since then starting back in the 90s and 2000s I would mention to pregnant women to drink spring water and not Toronto water. After checking into the filtration systems in cities I discovered that there is no system that can take out hormones.

They call Toronto a city but it truly is a Metropolis. Along with the fluoride and hormones I strongly believe that a women's fetus - if she drinks Toronto water is in danger of hormonal upset and who knows what else.

I was horrified to learn that most toxins aren't filtered out by systems cities use. Especially the "forever chemicals".

Meliss, I hate to say this, but you might want to think about getting the water you've filtered tested to ensure it's doing what they claim it does. I too bought an AlexaPure filter and noticed, as I would buy a new filter cartridge, that the rates of filtered water flow were different each time I bought a new cartridge, Eventually I bought a water testing kit, one of the big kits you use for pools. Turns out my Alexapure didn't filter out any chlorine filtered water had the same PH as tap water! I had no way to test for fluoride. But every other water filter I've seen used a separate add on filter for fluoride. Anyway, I ended up getting a Berkey filter (with fluoride filters!) and love it. Only, thanks to the EPA, who want to poison us all, I can't get replacement filters!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

Pretty annoying when people don't cite their claims.
