After seeing a blurb in the news mega about the US needing nearly half a trillion dollars for drinking water infrastructure, I wonder about my own family's water safety.
I have up to now been under the impression that tap water is safe to drink, eschewing borrowed water for environmental purposes but maybe I should be thinking about a filtration system.
We live in an apartment with old bones in a city that has had lead in its school pipes in the past.
How do the netizens of Hexbear filter and enjoy their drinking water?
Nice link! Looks like RO takes care of everything but Vanadium.
Vanadium is good for you. Strengthens the chrome in your pre-combustion chamger
If you do RO be sure to remineralize after, some systems include it, but if you don't take that step any sort of tea or coffee will taste wrong and I think you can even damage your organs by drinking ro or distilled water for extended periods
I wouldn't worry about remineralization unless you do notice a taste issue. You (probably) get minerals from other stuff, and RO-filtered water won't hurt you.
Yeah I wasn't sure about the veracity of the danger aspect but had heard it from a few sources. Something about it being a better solvent and being more likely to cause some damage if you were only drinking ro/distilled
