I’ve lived here for 3 years and been drinking the tap for about a year. I’ve got lots of friends with “filters” that don’t actually do anything for microbes, and they drink that water. Anyways, very very few people can’t afford a garrafón.
- ForTheKidz 2y agoBrita filters most certainly do filter out "microbes". Just with low certainty that drops over the age of the filter.
- blovescoffee 2y agoFWIW I was not referring to brita filters. Two days ago I was at a friends house who had a literal fabric filter on top of his big water carafe.
- whymauri 2y agoIt's not the microbes in my experience, it's the heavy metals suspended in the water. It's like a 0.1% damage over time effect. A few days drinking it? Fine. A few weeks? Still fine. Months? I started feeling just a bit more sick until I cut it out for filtered water.
