Why I filter my water

[fett]

Pretty disgusting isn' it? That is the Britta I use to filter water from the kitchen tap.

You're letting all those nutrients go to waste?

You ought to smell the chlorine when I fill it up. I have only used filtered water since I moved up here. The retail cost of a single Britta filter is close to $10. I score mine real cheap at thriftstores because people buy the setup and give it up. I know my water supply is going through old pipes, 1970's, but if they are using water that has half the shit in mine and saw that pitcher, they would think again.

[Tashtego]

Old pipes? Around here you can still find lead pipes in houses. Gives the water a little extra special somethin'. Nothing like a tall shimmering glass of lead water to go with a delicious window sill or door jam.

The town I work in had some issues with thier water system. On the bills they sent out to thier customers they added a notice that they did not know what the long effect would have if you drank it. Nice!

Stay away from water, it's nasty. Drink beer!

[fett]

Yeah, I know. But I have to have a full pot of coffee in the morning. I filter the water for cooking, as well. The water I have is just beyond belief.

Why not put a large "inline" canister filter under the sink and be done with it? Then you would not have to wait for the water to drip through that damn thing.

[fett]

No room. That's where all my pots and pans are. I owned a house for years and I have done all the plumbing I'm going to do. It's easy once you get used to filling up the pitcher beforehand.

You smoke cigarettes, yet you're worried about filtering your water? :ROTF:

Well you've got to watch out for those carcinogens

[fett]

Cigs taste good and it beats sucking my thumb. But cruddy water makes everything taste bad. I didn't say I was perfect.

[ABSOLUT CHARVEL]

to think you shower with that stuff .... don't you?

[buzzsaww]

no way, vikings only shower in the guts and blood of the vanquished!

[fett]

Your Tap Water could be as bad as mine. Has anyone done what I just showed you? You just may be shocked.
