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?

    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
