I have one of those pitchers that I mainly use to get rid of the chlorine taste in the tap water, but are the actual health claims about drinking filtered water actually true? There are claims that these dinky little passive filters can get rid of things like lead and PFAS which I honestly don’t believe. Especially if you’re using it with tap water which I’d assume would always have some kind of active filtration before it gets to your home, so the idea that whatever got past the industrial grade filter at the water treatment plant can be caught by a little plastic one sounds more than a little fishy to me. Anyone have knowledge about this.
Project farm did a cool unbiased comparison of the different water filters. Tldw: zero water wins.

Do you want to have 0 total dissolved solids? A lot of minerals in your drinking supply can be a good thing.
Very cool link though, thanks!
I’d just make sure whatever filter you choose can filter out PFAS. I think that’s the most important aspect, besides lead of course
Yeah I thought about that, too. Depends on what you want I guess!
