Fr fr night water is magical
Conversely, morning water tastes stanky
You gotta flush the tap for a bit. When water is stagnant in your pipes overnight contaminants can leach into it (including lead if you have lead pipes or lead in your fixtures).
mmm, sweet sweet morning water
Not when you have a reverse osmosis filter, it's all good
Night shrooms is magical too
We got a Berkey and I can't go back.
How is living with it for primary use? It sounds appealing versus a plumbed in system or countertop on-demand reverse osmosis, but it’s a big space user
I bought it for our RV - it's a great option there. Even with the two element model we can easily keep up with water needs for a family of three. The issue at home is just that it does take up a lot of counter space.
Cool, thanks for the info! 👍 Been looking into one for home use

Do people say that?
Uncultured swine does
Yeah, "it's just water" is something I've heard plenty of times.
There's some Dasani garbage in my fridge that I keep for delusional guests because Amazon sent it to me by mistake. It has an ingredients list on the label. Ingredients, plural. The fuck does WATER need an ingredients list for?
Never heard of minerals?
that counts under "water", as you don't generally go out of your way to filter water and add minerals back in.
it'd be like listing every element in an orange, no we just write "orange".
And yet, Dasani (and I'm sure plenty others)does just that. Incredible.
Funny you should ask. I was shot by the cartel and lost the use of my legs so I began collecting them obsessively to cope with my depression. My wife, on the other hand, doesn't even know the difference between minerals and rocks.
the only taste difference i'd feel comfortable with is metal leeching from iron/copper (had some water from a pump in a nature reserve that tasted fresh as fuck thanks to the metal pump) and differing hardness, otherwise water should be quite standard.
honestly a lot of the water in the rest of the world kind of sounds terrifying
Gotta say rain water hit different.
