Tangentially: What is a water filtering system that you are personally using and can recommend?
Am thinking here about microplastics, FPOA, drug residues...
- reducesuffering 4y agoReverse Osmosis is the gold standard
- webinvest 4y agoThanks for that info. Does that also remove beneficial nutrients like calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc?
- reducesuffering 4y agoYes, but my current understanding is that these minerals are in very miniscule amount, like 1% RDA a cup. You are able to remineralize after RO, automatically as part of the system, if you would like. I don’t, because I already supplement magnesium and calcium levels aren’t a typical concern. I think the trade off is well worth it to ensure there’s no lead, plastic, hormones, or hexavalent chromium at all. Cost is around ~$300 initial, $50/yr filters, and maybe $5/yr increased water usage.
- webinvest 4y agoAlright, seems reasonable. Where do you buy your filters from?
- reducesuffering 4y agoAmazon or the mfg website.
