Lead, microplastics, forever chemicals, etc - seems like a lot of things to be worried about when it comes to water these days. What is your source of water, how do you get your drinking water? Tap, bottled, do you use some kind of filter? And what do you think is the best way to get water?

    Tap. Depends on where you are. Some municipalities in the us have really high quality water, some shouldn’t be touched.

    Industrial scale water treatment is the way to go the vast majority of places. I’ve got a filter on my fridge but I genuinely don’t know if it does anything. I have no idea who makes the filters, if they’re independently tested, if they actually work, or what they actually filter.

      Yeah this is sorta how I feel. Like there’s a ton of stuff I can buy but you’re never sure the quality of any of that stuff. And there’s so many options, and I’m not an expert of water filtration or purification or anything.
