So you’re thinking about trying the Master Cleanse. You’ve got your lemons, cayenne pepper, maple syrup, and your sea salt.

But before you mix up your first glass of lemonade you need to make sure you’re using filtered water because plain tap water has fluoride, lead, and other harmful things that don’t belong in your body.

Even bottled water should be avoided because many brands (even the expensive ones) are no better then plain tap water.

What I suggest is a simple counter top water filter.

After looking at dozens of water filter,some costing over a $1000 dollars, I settled on the the Aquasana 4000 counter top filter. I love this water filter! I uses dual filtration technology that eliminates almost all the nasty things found in tap water, and it’s saved me a small fortune by not having to buy filtered water from the store.

You’ll also be helping the environment by keeping all those empty plastic water bottles out of the landfills.

I haven’t seen Aquasana filters sold in stores but I’ve partnered with them as an affiliate so I can my get readers the best price by ordering right from the company website www.aquasana.com.

Another nice thing about the Aquasana filter is that it’s easy to install. You don’t have to cut into the pipes under your sink like a lot of reverse osmosis type filters require you to do.

Here’s a short video walking you through the installation:
