[11:58] IsambardPrince It has a slight chlorine taste to it. [11:58] IsambardPrince granular activated carbon filters are really pretty much all you need. [11:58] IsambardPrince Because the water isn't that bad to start with. [11:58] schestowitz[TR2] It has a slight chlorine taste to it. [11:58] schestowitz[TR2] so does rfk [11:59] IsambardPrince Brita's standard and "elite" filters, and the Amazon Basics, produce the best tasting water of any pitcher filter I've tried. ● Apr 21 [12:00] IsambardPrince I've tried ZeroWater, tasted too much like distilled. [12:01] IsambardPrince The lab tests show ZeroWater lowers the pH to like 6. [12:01] IsambardPrince Brita filters lower it some, but not that much. [12:01] IsambardPrince You want as much alkalinity as you can get. [12:02] IsambardPrince I really feel like paying for ZeroWater filters is overkill. [12:03] schestowitz[TR2] how do you test it? [12:03] IsambardPrince They cost something like $11 a filter, but to get them down to that, you have to buy 8 at a time. Each one is only good for about 20 gallons maybe. [12:04] IsambardPrince Simple Lab I think it was called. [12:04] IsambardPrince Modern Castle tested a bunch. [12:04] schestowitz[TR2] teasted TESTED? [12:04] schestowitz[TR2] or asmazon testedd? [12:04] schestowitz[TR2] as in, [12:04] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Mom was only getting like 5-6 gallons per Zerowater filter. [12:04] schestowitz[TR2] "we pay some dude in state of ILL" [12:04] IsambardPrince Before it clogged completely. [12:04] schestowitz[TR2] "with free samples" [12:05] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Tested. [12:05] IsambardPrince You don't want your water to be completely scrubbed of all dissolved solids. [12:06] IsambardPrince That mainly removes calcium and magnesium, which are your minerals that provide alkalinity. [12:06] IsambardPrince Without those, the water starts absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. [12:06] IsambardPrince That forms a weak acid. [12:07] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I've also done crazier stuff. [12:07] IsambardPrince Like Binchtan charcoal.
