Chlorine was used as a chemical weapon during World War I, so you could say it’s definitely hazardous,
but it doesn't kill everything.
I actually found some great info on rust and how to get rid of it over at

If this heads down that path and people start talking about those kinds of gadgets, I’m shutting this whole thing down immediately. And you? You'll be getting a permanent ban before you can even blink!

Think of this forum as a spot to share what's on your mind, toss around some ideas, and swap info. Sounds good, right?
If I look closely at what you wrote, it feels like you're just picking at your own flaws without actually adding anything to the conversation. Is there even a point?
Since our bodies are basically over 70% water, shouldn't we be a bit more picky about what we drink?
Think back ten years—who actually bought bottled water back then? Just people grabbing seltzer for a cocktail, right?
Nowadays, either the water quality has tanked or we've all just become way more health-conscious.
Can we really trust the tap water coming out of the sink? I have my doubts.
And bottled water? Who knows how it’s processed. Is it just filtered through some cheap mesh? Plus, there's the plastic issue. PET packaging is definitely not the way to go.
Then there's filtration. It all depends on the filter quality, ranging from basic meshes to pricey setups using silica sand and silver powder. But even then, most filters don't catch everything—bacteria can slip through, and chlorine often stays put.
Basically, filtration helps, but it can also be a bit of an illusion.
Options are narrowing down. We either need to find a pure spring or make our own clean water at home.
There are really only two ways to get truly pure water, which are
reverse osmosis or distillation using a home setup.
Reverse osmosis is pricier than a distiller, doesn't strip away every single impurity, wastes a lot of water, and those replacement membranes? They're outrageously expensive.
