#3It’s really a shame how bad water has gotten in my lifetime. I only trust protecting my family with a RO because I no longer trust our government preventing corporations from poisoning our water or trust our government to safely filter and transport water to our household.

Reverse osmosis water filter systems. They basically "squeeze" water through holes small enough for it but not other larger contaminants.

Trusting someone else with your families health or safety is a mistake. They will never care as much as you do.

#8I installed a whole-house filter that was great when the EPA's recommended limit was 70 ppt, since mine drops it to < 10 ppt. Now that it's something on the order of ppq, I may have to add RO to at least the fridge, since that's where we get drinking water.

#9Does anyone know how to go about getting home water tested? Is there a place you can send it, or kits to buy? 23andMe for water?
