A bought a filter that improves the water quality for my house, including water softness, and it’s a total game changer. Didn’t realize how shitty my water was. -Reduced the chlorine and iron, which were measurably bad. -The softer water makes hair and skin feel so much better after a shower. Not dry.

But Lyn if we tested the water after filtration you will find that there is still some contaminants in it. Clearly that filter does not work and you should just remove it. In fact you are censoring valid water that someone likely paid to put into the water supply, are you some kind of communist? Rather than discriminate against certain particles we should just make it easier for them to get into the water and connect any waste pipes directly to the water supply.
Had heard it was game changing on hair/shower. Especially in some other countries with harsher water
That’s part of why I didn’t get one earlier, but the plumbing company is great and we’ll get regularly checkups on it. Worth it for us.

I just got a stainless steel gravity filter with extra fluoride filters. My city has pretty good tap water tastewise but I just didn’t want extra chemicals in the water. Should be opt in instead of opt out

We thought about one too. Would be interesting what type/brand of filter it is.

Have you measured the ph? I've come to appreciate the importance of 7+ on the ph scale. Otherwise most of what goes into the body comes right out 🌊
You probably know this, but if it’s a water softener, hopefully it’s adding back minerals. Otherwise I think it’s bad for blood pressure to drink water that’s been softened. I should use chatGPT to confirm but I’m almost positive you already knew this.

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good analogy. 🤣

Greatest investment ever. Everything is about water and the more you improve (intake as well) the better you will be.
This house water softener continues to be amazing. Such a boost for skin and hair. If this whole bitcoin thing ends up not working out, then rather than working at McDonald’s I’m going to go into the water softener sales business! image nevent1qqsz7gu4qnxymhvk8xmphpzf64h6s7rzn5zs33w2k3zg8fjrw5mvnegpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgv9wmdn

Water is the physiological basis for consciousness and memory
Soften water has a little extra sodium in it but not enough to be worried about. If you are, you can use potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride to soften the water.
