Move to the country, drink well water
What country? 😂 At least in the sticks I’ve been to … most have at least county water now.
Literally your own well, where they bring a big drilling truck out to reach your water table, then the water is "hard" (contains all sorts of minerals usually filtered out by water treatment plants) and stains all your showers with rust and tastes funky but has no fluoride 😍😊😁
I grew up on well water. That shit was fantastic.
Indeed. So good. 😊 hugs 🫂
Some as cheap as $160. Plenty under $300. Worth it.
absolutely worth the money
Yup. Options are limited if you wish to purify the water and remove the fluoride.
do you listen to Derrick Broze? he follows the court cases involving that
You've got a lot more than just fluoride to worry about. $500 now vs $500k in medical bills later.
We used to do the RO filter thing and it’s fine, but we switched years ago to an artesian spring water supplier, but we do have to go out and fill up our 5 gallon water bottles every couple of weeks. Not all areas will have artesian springs available, but I really like the taste of the water.
Zero water filter pitcher is $30
Stealth RO is like $200
a simple bucket, filled with zeolite, with a pinprick hole and under it under the stand holding the bucket, a water container with a large funnel with some cotton stuffed in the neck will do the trick most filters also have carbon which removes the chlorine gas that forms out of the sodium hypochlorite they also add. that stuff is nasty too... it does eventually gas off and the zeolite also removes the sodium hypochlorite, it additionally removes the calcium, magnesium, iron and other shit in the water (much like RO but much much cheaper, i mean like $50 is gonna filter you like 10,000 gallons) zeolite isn't that expensive though, it's just a relatively common form of stone
