+1, I recall reading a thread on this not too long ago. For me, the main, quite unfortunate, take-away was that a lot of the microplastics could actually stem from the filters of reverse osmosis systems.

- graeme 3y agoWow. In this same thread I recommended Zero Water, which isn’t reverse osmosis. Does that type of filter avoid the issue?
- Hnrobert42 3y agoI don’t know about Zero Water. I recently purchased a water distiller to make distilled water for my humidifier. I’d read that it wouldn’t taste that good. But I found it tastes fine to me. As a bonus, boiling hard water can eliminate microplastics. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/02/28/microplastics-drinking-water/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/02/28/...
