Water filtration systems

Any direction to purchase a Water filtration system for the home? I am moving to a house for the next several years and want to increase the water quality of the home. Unfortunately I must admit to having very little grasp of Vietnamese and communication with a seller or install in English is of great importance.

With the price of bottled water being so cheap, it probably doesn't much sense to go to all the trouble of install, maintaining, and changing the filters of a water filtration system.

30K to 35k VND for a giant 5 gallon jug delivered right to your door.

Bottled water is one of the few, very few, cost of living things that hasn't gone through the roof this past year.

I fully agree. Use bottled water. According to a survey by the German Embassy last year water in Ha Noi is contaminated by heavy metals. Their recommendation was to only use bottled water to decrease long term effects of heavy metals.

Yep.... but think again if you think that ALL bottled water has eliminated ALL heavy metals. Depends on (i) source of water (some could be mains supply), and (ii) processes used to filter/sterilise etc. the water. Some heavy metals are not easy to eliminate from water.

There are now heaps of bottled water suppliers, do you think they are all doing the right thing, maintaining their production plants 100% etc.?

I'd love to see some independent testing carried out and published. Have the Germans done this?
