The EPA Has Found More Than a Dozen Contaminants in Drinking Water but Hasn’t Set Safety Limits on Them
The inaction on regulating contaminants — including those that likely cause cancer, reproductive or developmental issues — found in the water of millions of Americans illustrates shortcomings in the U.S. response to environmental threats, say experts.

I think I'm going to get a reverse osmosis system.
-
I have one, you notice a difference within a day.
-
I am also thinking about better filtration. PFOS is an issue here and I really don't want to keep ingesting it.
Any concerns about removing the fluoride? Is that an issue for people who brush daily?
-
I use the filter for drinking water that also takes out flouride and brush my teeth with flouridated water. Ingesting flouride to me, seems like overkill and potentially bad for you.
-
Studies show that cities with unfluoridated water have more cavities. I'd look if a fluoride rinse exists.
-
I do understand why they do it. My ? is if I brush daily with a sonicare does it matter. My teeth are a lot better cared for that the general population's teeth.
-
I mean people in the studies brush their teeth once or twice a day and still have more cavities.

Idk, my mom has one and I feel like our water tastes the same? What do you notice about it?
Edit: not saying it isn’t good to get one, just saying that if I didn’t know it, I wouldn’t notice a difference
-
It's not that it tastes different, it makes me feel better. The first time I drank it, I couldn't stop drinking water, like I had been thirsty for a long time. The kind we get is adjusted to the local water for PH levels too though, that might be why.

Sounds like when I was a kid and I could run faster when I got new sneakers.

Care to share what you had installed?

-
A difference in water taste or a difference in health?
-
Any suggestions on a brand you like?
