davita wroteYou're right it is unfair and I apologise. Normally you are a very communicative poster and I've enjoyed your comments...maybe just had a bad week Eh? Me too...not good news on the medical front so maybe I'm the one a bit crabby.

Thanks Davita. I was very sorry to hear about that while lurking on the ExpatIndo site. Good luck with everything.

Thanks guys for the thoughts...If I can inspire others to get a colonoscopy my job is done. Now back to the subject of water filtration systems. I have well water in our villa in Bali and never drink the stuff. My Balinese maid or the driver lifts that aqua bottle to the machine to provide cold and hot drinking water...and also used to fill the ice machine in the freezer. If the water machine ever breaks I'll get one with the pump and not the gravity feed. They only cost about Rp2.5M. Those aqua bottles cost Rp18,000 so the cost of fitting a filtering and sanitizing system to drink the well-water doesn't seem viable. I have thought about getting the whole house filter, to have softer water for the shower, but have a problem of where to locate it so it isn't an eyesore in the garden...maybe put some screen around it....they cost over Rp10M....unless anyone knows of a cheaper alternative. I used to help friends install Home Depo water softeners when I lived in Arizona where the water is very hard...it worked by back-feeding thru' the filter with salt pellet-soaked brine to clean. Those units only cost US$3-400.

I have been using a Navaza water filter http://kopernik.info/technology/nazava-bening-1-water-filter in our guest house for 5 years with both well and PDAM supplied water. Never had a problem. Complies with WHO standards and available through Kopernik outlets. One near Arma in Ubud previously mentioned. https://kopernik.info/sites/default/files/instructions/Nazava%20more%20info_0_0.pdf

As with all health issues it is a matter of balance. If you need oxygen then that is because some process has reduced your O2 levels below normal levels. Here is an artical on the topic; http://www.waterbenefitshealth.com/ozonated-drinking-water.html

tel522 wrotethe word from unilever . .............................an independent scientific study by the National Institute of Epidemiology2 has shown that Pureit reduces the incidence of diarrhoeal disease by up to 50%, in the absence of any other hygiene intervention......................................

Well, 50 % is close to useless. Does anyone READ this stuff!

If you look back in the thread you will note various efforts to find independent studies on this subject including MIT , ya its somewhat unclear , but to repeat myself ,I dont reckon unilever being the worlds largest producer of these domestic gravity fed systems would risk killing its consumers . As I also said before ,whos to say Aqua or any other bottled water sold on this Island is Pure and not tainted with god knows what ? We live in a corrupt country where the truth is as rare as diamonds on kuta beach.

I think this means that the incidence of diarrhoeal disease is not only attributed to dirty water.

May have asked this before here or not but that's the beauty of Alzheimers (every day brings new things). I'm getting sodding tired of schlepping big feckoff water bottles around and would like some recommendations for a decent and not too expensive water filter system for turning my well water (OK, no septic tanks anywhere near) into potable drinking water. My back thanks you...

Why not try to test your water quality first guys? In fact, every deep well has different contaminant even if there are a pair of deep wells in one area. Just contact me for more information about water test and get special discount for 60%. We have cooperation with Udayana Laboratory.

Jez! Don't know who keeps digging up this (long-winded as feck) old bs from now (thankfully dead, Davina) but I couldn't stay awake long enough to reread all this quack. I still have my same water system from Philips out of our well(5 meters) on the rand of a rice field and still going strong. I will say the the land inclination gives me the bore water before it's gone through the sawah and associated chemical cocktail.
