Is that enough?
I keep reading about how microplastics can be too small for a carbon filter and that you would need a reverse osmosis device, to completely remove plastics.
I can't say am really sold on using a device with a plastic membrane to completely remove plastics.
All the online materials on the topic are for the majority just product placements, it feels very disorienting to be able to make a data driven decision. Do you have any insight.

- Accacin 6y agoTo be fair, this is a personal story and not a scientific study.
- ejolto 6y agoWe are talking about an anecdote here, not giving general advice based on scientific literature. That said. If I lived in a village that was attacked by tigers regularly for 6 months, and I installed a tiger filter which stopped the attacks, I would gladly pay 30 bucks for that ($30 is what a faucet water filter costs). Disclaimer: I don't own a water filter or a tiger filter.
