No I don't, and I'm honestly certain that the reason I never get sick is partly due to a strengthened immune system from drinking so much tap water.

at work we do, because chlorine in the water isn't good for the yeast and you need the yeast to be good to make the beer

at home i drink rainwater and its nice and doesn't need filtering, although i think the pump has a filter of some sort

I use a pitcher filter. I don't regret it because look at flint. These morons drank lead for years without realizing it.

Look at the fracked houses with water that lights on fire.

Also my water tastes like poo poo if I dont filter it. GJ chicago.

I drink 5 to 8 gatorades a day so I don't even need to drink water.

Our tap water here is delicious. Filtered water tastes the same as unfiltered from our taps, bottled water actively tastes worse than our tap.

The government fuckers add iodine and some weird minerals into the tap water here so I need a good filter on every tap to make sure that poo poo doesn't get into my system. One has to wonder how these people are still allowed to govern after making such laws.

I have a Brita but I mostly drink from the tap. I tell myself to use the Brita for making coffee and for the pets but mostly it just sits there.

Does Brita remove lead? I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

I only drink chemically pure H20 from a private distillery. I have to keep a salt lick in my house to prevent water poisoning, but it's worth it to know I'm protected from dangerous contaminants.

I use a Brita but mostly only because I can keep it in the fridge and I like my water cold.

That's a high quality avatar right there.
I'd never used a water filter until I moved to my current apartment. The city water is good, but the pipes in this place must be made of old pig intestines from the 1930's. My Brita tap improves the taste by like 1000%.

These are really useful for testing your tap water for all kinds of impurities. Personally I do this once a month to make sure the filters are working and that there's no weird poo poo in the water I drink. You should always make sure your drinking water is clean before you consume it, especially now when many countries are starting to put mandatory chems and minerals into the water supply.

Lol absolutely not. If you run plastic bottle vodka through like five of them you end up with something that almost tastes like a good vodka at a price that's not at all worth it though!

Good call, someone should give faucet filters to Flint so they can filter out the lead. I wonder why no one has thought of that.

Kinda wondering whether you can install a water filter on the output too. Like a nice ol' Brita filter over your penis, so nobody can get their hands on your precious bodily fluids.
