>having tap water so nasty you need a filter for it
american or a bong, i presume?
American. My tapwater tastes funky and mildew constantly accumulates on the openings of my faucets
Just realized that me, as a Canadian, can drink plentiful water for free from my taps, sourced from the freshest reaches. Kinda fricked up to imagine people that open their taps and get poison. Holy frick am I glad to be Candian. good luck Americans
Dude, frick off. We have plenty of places with garbage non-potable tapwater. Even in Vancouver we usually get contamination warnings once a year due to flooding.
>me can drink plentiful water for free from my taps
Buy replacement filters from off brand sites.
It's literally the same ones but you save 250$+
I have Alexapure
Filter is proprietary and no third party replacements exist
This is a good thing
OP is going to get a Brita filter that's done up to look like a Berkey and I'm going to have to go out on the town working as a gigolo
i wish they still sold the water and air purifiers
>buying water
cringe
meds
You mean flouride?
i'd filter her water if you catch my drift
Anon, she's fat.
Are you a woman? An anorexic woman? I want to drink fresh, microplastic-free water while i plow her all night long. Fat, my ass.
I have one. The pros are that you don't have to buy bottled water that has been sitting in plastic for unknown amounts of time. The cons are that as well as taking out all of the bad stuff from the water the filter also removes the good stuff, so the water is a bit 'flat'.
your thinking reverse osmosis, I got a
He's talking about flavor.
I literally have the filter in OP's pic.
Minerals and stuff that are present in natural spring water.
Eh, I take vitamins and can add things to the water afterward. I'd rather that than drink city sewage water full of monkeypox and microplastics
Why are you drinking sewage water?
Is it settled that any commercial water filter actually removes microplastics
Berkeys filter viruses, so I would expect so.
It's hyperbole anon. My local water is subpar.
Tap water is filtered. What makes you think putting a $20 made in china filter in some piece of shit on your counter does a better job than the multi million dollar water treatment facility already doing it?
That water has to travel miles. The pipes that water travels through are incredibly filthy. They don't get cleaned anon. Ever.
Why would they be getting dirty? The only thing running through them is water. And they are cleaned, by fricking water and chlorine, that's kinda what it does.
Why do you think it's ok to drink chlorine?
Because it is. Chlorine isn't toxic in the amounts used in tap water. Why would you think it's not okay? Billions of people are drinking chlorine every day.
Let me guess, you also think they put flouride into the water supply to "help dental hygeine"
No, it's to turn frogs gay
and you shower in that water
Good stuff?
>the filter also removes the good stuff
huh
Depends on the filter system. You can buy one that adds back the minerals.
this is why it's important to get your water tested so that you know exactly what kind of filter to use.
she drinks the water, you drink her pee? im confused. and aroused. tell me more
I have one. Water good. Grug happy.
>he thinks it's ok to drink chemical water that runs through this
yikes
I have one. Setting it up is a pain in the ass, but it does work very well.
