Looking for a solution for drinking water

I just drink from the faucet.

get a RO/DI unit. I have a big one for my saltwater fish tank in my office and also use it to fill the big kentwood bottles here at work and everyone likes the RO/DI water much better than the Kentwood delivered water.Those big filters will last for a few years if you're only using the water for drinking water.

$189




you can even connect a line to this to your icemaker for very pure ice as well as chilled water from your fridge door.

Where are you located? Are you a Costco member? If so sign up with Kentwood through Costco and they provide a water dispenser like in an office or gym with the jugs for like $2 a month. The jugs are like $5 each and they come every two weeks to replace. Nice to also have very hot water on demand for tea, coffee etc.

Walk to refrigerator with empty glass
Push glass to cold water dispensary
Enjoy
Repeat as required

Sometimes I get a little wild and add ice

if you want clean water filtration can get expensive. It is great you are trying to avoid the chemicals that kill off the good bacteria in your gut.

Do you want something connected to a water line just for drinking, stand alone or maybe whole house?

get a filter for your fridge or tap lack others have said or, we have a Berkey Filter which gives you super clean and good tasting water and even can filter pond water into drinking water in case of the apocalypse. It sits on top of the counter and takes up space and you have to add tap water to it everyday. Its a bit of a PITA but my wife loves it.

berkeys are great and very useful. Should you lose water, you can just filter rain water, river water, etc. to keep on trucking. It is affordable on a per gallon cost, too.

There are some great $50 inline filters that handled all the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture runoff too. These work great for refrigerators or single faucet applications.

For whole home solutions, 3-stage custom designed filtration systems are wonderful. They can be pricey though as they can hit $5-6k in cost.

If you want 0 TDS water, Zero water filtration products are great. They are typically things like filtering water pitchers. They filter to 0 TDS but the filters are kind of pricey and only last around 30 days for anyone who drinks a lot of water.

I linked up a system that does 75 gallons per day .000 TDS. All RO/DI systems put out .000 at first then slowly start creeping up.

ha I grew up on tap water and there is probably nothing wrong with it but we live on the water and the neighborhood is relatively old. Occasionally there will be a slight tint to the water and I just don't totally trust it. Also, we have a baby coming in the next few weeks so I figure it would be good to have for cleaning and disinfecting the shiteater's stuff.
