There's some Dasani garbage in my fridge that I keep for delusional guests because Amazon sent it to me by mistake. It has an ingredients list on the label. Ingredients, plural. The fuck does WATER need an ingredients list for?

Funny you should ask. I was shot by the cartel and lost the use of my legs so I began collecting them obsessively to cope with my depression. My wife, on the other hand, doesn't even know the difference between minerals and rocks.

In her defense, your wife is a purple fucking idiot.

that counts under "water", as you don't generally go out of your way to filter water and add minerals back in.

it'd be like listing every element in an orange, no we just write "orange".

And yet, Dasani (and I'm sure plenty others)does just that. Incredible.

Only laypeople think that water is a single ingredient. Science tells us that water is actually composed of H, 2, and O.

Have you tried the sequel version? I heard it was so much of an improvement. They are calling it h2o2.

Big water is scamming you by giving you water with filler air molecules. My startup takes the H2O and filter out the filler air molecules (oxygen) giving you more water per water. Experience hydration like you've never experienced before with our water.

Florida water smells and tastes like sulfur. Fuck Florida.

Fr fr night water is magical

Conversely, morning water tastes stanky

You gotta flush the tap for a bit. When water is stagnant in your pipes overnight contaminants can leach into it (including lead if you have lead pipes or lead in your fixtures).

mmm, sweet sweet morning water

Not when you have a reverse osmosis filter, it's all good

Night shrooms is magical too

We got a Berkey and I can't go back.

How is living with it for primary use? It sounds appealing versus a plumbed in system or countertop on-demand reverse osmosis, but it’s a big space user

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bought it for our RV - it's a great option there. Even with the two element model we can easily keep up with water needs for a family of three. The issue at home is just that it does take up a lot of counter space.

Cool, thanks for the info! 👍 Been looking into one for home use

Gotta say rain water hit different.

the only taste difference i'd feel comfortable with is metal leeching from iron/copper (had some water from a pump in a nature reserve that tasted fresh as fuck thanks to the metal pump) and differing hardness, otherwise water should be quite standard.

honestly a lot of the water in the rest of the world kind of sounds terrifying
