I have a natural spring right behind my house, coming straight from the mountain rocks.
Indeed, doesn't contain too much minerals but at least is clean.
When I was living in a big city, I used tap water, but filtered using a Brita filter with active carbon.
Uff that sounds amazing.
Someone’s checked their water 🤝
I actually took a sample of that water to a lab.
They asked me where did I get such a clean water and my answer was: from my backyard, straight from a rocky spring, filtered by some moss.
I never regret leaving big city behind.
You should start shipping that water to other plebs
I will exchange it for coconuts 😄
I live surrounded by high mountains, at high altitude too.
So no way could have coconuts here.
springwater is the norm here on #madeira
the amount of additives in it varies widely between areas, but i just buy it in 6L bottles anyway
though i would LOVE to switch the whole thing out for a commercial-sized RO system for bathroom and kitchen, big because it won't need maintaining as frequently for the volume
the downside of the springwater is that it's quite limey
Death, brita don’t filter shit. Everyone should support their local spring! #satsforsprings
No local spring where I live. But enough coconuts 💧
Living water is the best water 🙌
If you do not have another source of water, brita is still doing good job. Now depends which filters you use. Are many.
I tell folks to buy or make distilled (or zero water filter) and seed with clean spring water and earth salt for minerals. I agree it’s better than nothing, but mostly for taste, smell and sediment. They don’t filter out asbestos, fluoride, other heavy metals and leave a considerable amount of chlorine left.
Distilled water is only available in bad plastic bottles where I am from.
Hard to avoid microplastics unless you distill your own. Can find a liter distiller on amazon or another big box site
Copper tubing and a couple of kettles gets you distilled water.
Love this. Like buy an alcohol still or trips to the hardware store kind?
That is actually awesome. Do you still need to clean/filter it?
yes sometimes when is heavy raining and water is coming with more dirt and will filter it.
I need to build a deposit basin.
