I don't understand why it took high school students to do this.
The science behind it seems simple enough this should have been a product already.
- riedel 5y agoWe have a minor problem mostly with the last meters of pipes if water is not flowing. Here it is sufficient to let the (cold) water flow until it reaches a lower temperature to be sure it was not sitting in the overground pipes too long.

- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI'm sure it is a fixed problem and you can get faucet lead filters already, they're just not affordable because capitalism. Also the $1 is linkbait; it may be $1 in materials, but especially if the housing was 3D printed, the actual cost would be higher. That said, no reason this product commercially available should be more than $10, and/or given away for free along with refills to the people most impacted while they work on a more permanent solution.
- newswasboring 5y agoMay I ask how much the already available filters cost? I thought these things would be cheap
