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?
We’ve got under sink 3-stage (not reverse osmosis) and it seems pretty decent. I’ve been meaning to get the regular tap vs filtered tap tested at a home improvement store, but it just hasn’t happened yet
I’ll also say that tapping a supply line for a water filter was my introduction to basic “around the house” casual plumbing, which is mostly fucking with shutoffs. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone interested
