You do filter your water, right /pol/? You don't like drinking all those HRT and women hormones pills and water amoeba, right?!

>>520243589 (OP)
When the filters are plastic, what is the point?

>>520243589 (OP)
I bought of one this and the water hurt my stomach.

I don't!

But my fucking back is in constant fucking pain, fucking hell, maybe it's true.

I only drink Dr Pepper

>>520243589 (OP)
I drink well water

>>520243589 (OP)
Nah. I like the Teflon in my water.

Only retards use an activated charcoal filter and think it is something to brag about. This thread is cringe. Use reverse osmosis filters or don't pretend to be doing something.

>>520243589 (OP)
No, i drink spring water

why did they put a glass of milk with a straw into the zerowater container ?

>>520243788
>>520243940
what do you know about this ?
i know some people who used these filters daily for decades and all of them died unusually early (relative, meaning died at around 65 instead of reaching 75/85+ which would be usual due to their "health focussed lifestyle" e.g. no drugs, including smokes, low alc, /fit/ lifestyle)

>>520244200
that's the filter, you nigger.

>>520244050
Charcoal filters organics and chlorine. There's also carbon blocks that act as a sediment filter as well.
RO filters pretty much almost everything (to a degree)
Resin filters remove dissolved ions

A complete system would be prefilter -> carbon -> softener -> RO -> resin

>>520243589 (OP)
>Brita filters are designed to reduce certain contaminants like lead, mercury, cadmium, and chlorine, which improves the taste and odor of tap water. However, they do not filter out other substances such as fluoride, nitrates, bacteria, viruses, or hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium.
you can't filter estrogen

>>520244346
See>>520244456
i believe it leaves residue of the material that cleans the water and that shit fucks your stomach. I used to get my water from some Chinese couple that I believe would use RO because they were using like some system with big pipes of steel and pans that would filter the water and my stomach never fucking hurt. But when I used this type of filters or go clean my water at Walmart or any food store my stomach would hurt from drinking the water.

>>520244456
that's not brita, that's zerowater

>>520244718
Because it removes the chlorine, but leaves the bulk of the rest of things, bacteria can grow in the water if it has been sitting.
It should be fine as long as you're drinking it immediately though.

>>520243589 (OP)
I have an RO filter

>>520244095
You’re thinking of distillation.
Besides, the amount of micronutrients you get through water is miniscule. It’s almost entirely food.

>>520243589 (OP)
I only drink bedrock filtered water from a 600ft deep well

>>520244366
Exactly

>>520244050
For example Brita style activated charcoal filters will not do anything about fluoride.

>>520244095
You can remineralize with literally one grain of Celtic Sea Salt per 1L of water.

>>520244346
I am against Brita filters. A bunch of plastic, and then it is just activated charcoal. There are SO MANY contaminants that it will do nothing for.

>>520243589 (OP)
I don't drink water. Sort of became a problem for awhile until I got all my teeth replaced with zirconia.

I drink pur unfiltred rain wter for many year. mother nature couds are te best filter there is.

Yu kow what (((they))) don want you to colect rin water? It because the best frsh water can put into bdy.

>>520243589 (OP)
Mountain Valley spring water in glass bottles, I had one of those and the filters grow mold overtime. you have to change them every few weeks

I bought a filter from infowars

I just drink sodas where all the shit is filtered out as they make the water component in a factory

>>520243589 (OP)
>Posts some gay Brita thing while talking about hormones
You need a RO system to remove that dumbass

>>520243589 (OP)
I wish they would make filters with more clearance from the bottom.
If you leave the filter submerged in water, it inevitably gets that pink slime on it.
Filters should be engineered to dry out better to prevent that junk from ruining the filter and covering the container.
Make sure to get a filter with plenty of clearance and leave the top open so it can dry out more.

>>520249886
Maybe design one and bring it to the not so free market

>>520243589 (OP)
I have thought about getting a berkey water filter for years now. What’s the best option for a small desktop space?

>>520243589 (OP)

placebo. Microplastics do more harm than anything else that's in water and can't be filtered out

>>520243589 (OP)
yes

>>520243589 (OP)
I've been drinking distilled water since 2017.

>>520250428
How does the micro plastic get through the filters?

>>520250176

I wouldn't trust those, get something from here instead:

>>520243589 (OP)
For me, it's Tap. Straight fresh.

>>520243589 (OP)
Nah tap water is safe here and bottled water is for suckers

>>520250428
You can boil 95% of microplastics away if your area has hard water. They get stuck in the residue in the kettle.

>>520251417
If it's not NSF standard 401 or better, an ultrafiltration or reverse osmosis filter, it's not filtering out microplastics. No, your 50$ walmart brita water filter does not filter out microplastics. Unless you've got a laboratory grade 20,000$ water filter, you're drinking microplastics.

>>520251667
A RO filter does not cost 20k, fucking brainlet.

>>520250428
>can't be filtered out
Thats the easiest part to filter out, what?

>>520243589 (OP)
Your filter looks like it'd give me microplastics

I distill my water.
I get everything I need, mineral wise, from food.

>>520243589 (OP)
Bought a cheap RO filter recently cause the water is pretty hard around here. Less than 100 bucks including plumbing adapters. Would recommend.

>>520243589 (OP)
What filter should I buy anons?

>>520251667
>>520252112
Just don't buy the overpriced shit. Unless you want to filter all the water going to your house a couple hundred bucks is enough for a proper RO filter.

>>520243745
I actually use this, no plastic involved.

bunch of retards itt drinking distilled/reverse osmosis/filtered shit holy fuck just drink spring water

Try a cheap RO filter for 60 bucks before handing significant money to some quack.

>produced by reverse osmosis, which damages the water

Muh water damage
Tell me about that "damage"

>Others use various chemicals such as zinc or copper that also damage the water.
But RO removes them
>Distilled water and reverse osmosis water will demineralize the body.
>Some of them use reverse osmosis, which removes beneficial minerals and
Not true. The amount of minerals you get from water in negligible compared to food. Also food usually contains beneficial minerals in higher concentrations.

>>520243589 (OP)
I use unfiltered well water.

>>520243589 (OP)

Why are reverse osmosis pitchers so expensive like 300+ dollars?

hormone molecules are small enough that commercial water filtration would not remove them from your drinking water

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5810225/

>>520255846
>commercial water filtration
What exactly do you mean by that? What methods of commercial water filtration?
>>520255846
>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5810225/
You link doesn't say anything about water filtration

>>520256092

do you need me to explain why that's relevant

>>520255482
>requires filter replacement every 10 gallons
:/

>>520256236

No but you still didn't specify what methods you mean by "commercial water filtration".

>>520256373
not being poor is essential to modern living

Guys i plan to stock the rain for use it at home, someone know some good filters to use for purify the water

>>520243589 (OP)
>HRT and women hormones pills and water amoeba, right?!
Drinking water filters don't remove any of that shit.

>>520256236
>the study discusses the molecular size of hormones

Absolute molecule sizes aren't even contained in the publication you moron.

>>520256869
>Drinking water filters don't remove any of that shit.
Depends on the filter. Brita shitters certainly don't.

>>520256733
Rainwater is disgusting, any setup you have that could make it reliably drinkable would be better put to use just filtering your existing govt water. If it's subsidised or you have an actual good reason that isn't vibes look into how Australia does it.

pfft, hahahaha filters...stop being poor and buy a distiller
>but muh minerals
take a multivitamin or eat a bowl of frosted flakes, literally 10-20x more minerals in those than a glass of shitty municipal water

Destilation will not remove xenoestrogens and other endocrine disruptors like PBAs and femoids pee on birth control pills.
Their particles are not volatile.

But Reverse osmosis will remove most of them

>>520243589 (OP)
Yeah but I don't have to because I don't live in a shithole like china where 90% of the groundwater is polluted and students have to pay for hot water at school.

I filter it to get rid of the chlorine aftertaste, primarily.

>>520243589 (OP)
Country well water here. Damn straight I have a pre-filter/softener/3 filter-reverse osmosis/Brita pitcher arrangement. Eventually, I'll pop for the UV bulb but it's under control.

>>520243589 (OP)
I bought a tabletop water distiller, but I've only ever used it for making moonshine.

>>520258497
bpa's have a significantly higher boiling point than water, they are left in the boiling tank and do not travel through the evaporation coils, xenoestrogens for the most part are volatile, those that are not also have a much higher boiling point than water so once again they are left in the tank. also if you're that worried they have a charcoal filter attachment for $30 that you plug into the 7-12 gallon finished product tank which last 9-12 months each. i'm not saying reverse osmosis won't take care of bpa's and estrogenic bullshit either, it will, but why fuck around w/that when i can get the same results from my distiller which is plumbed into my home so every floors kitchen has it's own dedicated faucet

>>520243589 (OP)
I have a filter jug, yeah
Those filters last forever

>>520258497
also where I live the biggest concern is the EPA superfund site 4 miles away where like 20 train cars full of dioxin were buried 10 foot underground @ a fertalizer plant that went bankrupt (was cheaper than paying for proper disposal)

>>520259428
fuckin based ethanol enthusiast. i use one of my older distillers, i think 5 gallon tank on it, to do the same w/mash+juniper to make gin. comes out too sweet though and I cannot figure out why

>>520245762
>drinking chemtrails
wew lad

>>520243589 (OP)
>not even reverse osmosis
May as well be taking estrogen pills, tranny.

>>520259681
i said that backards, the xenoestrogens are non volitiles so they stay in tank, the volitiles which are much fewer are scrubbed w/carbon filter

>>520252904
The idea is that pure water does not get processed well by the body and needs a binder of sorts to help out, which is why we like electrolytes. RO is great for removing the nasty stuff, but I would throw back in a bit of salt or just toss a rock into the reservoir for some remineralization. See how your lizard brain reacts to pure water vs Fiji water from the store.

Actual food and water that is not intentionally poisoned to weaken the unwashed masses are gatekept by rich people with cost. A hall of cost, so to speak.

>>520256733
Throw some silver coins in the container and maybe put some chlorine dioxide in as well to prevent nasty shit from growing.

What type of yeast do you use? I've had that trouble with some types of turbo yeast.

Guys post based water filters to buy. I live in Greece (shithole) and drink tap water. I heard you talk about reverse osmosis etc. I don't know shit. Please someone help

>>520243589 (OP)
Nope RO water only sir. Its expensive but this is the unit I use:
https://aquatruwater.com/product/countertop-reverse-osmosis-water-purifier

They make under sink models too but that one is plug and play and has the capacity you need.

RO doesn't get the PFAS out which is also an endocrine disruptor.

dont listen to the americans, just buy bottled spring water

4. Drink a variety of spring waters. If you drink spring water, alternate the brands you drink, if at all possible.

Recomended Brands Of Spring Water Are:

European: Iceland Springs, Evian, Aqua Panna, Volvic, Evamor and Voss (but not most other European brands).
i already do this

SPA masterrace here

There is estrogen in the water supply.

if i lived near that many pajeets i would definitely be paranoid about water

They make inline filters. Put it where the water comes in the house.
