City Water Filtering Setup

[George Jets]

The gallon price for drinking water at the Grocery Store just increased again to $1.30 a gallon.

Time to set up my own Charcoal Water Filtering Setup.

Pretty good city water here, but the black charcoal water filters take out the odd treatment chemicals.

Noticeable taste different between charcoal filtered and non-filtered city water, tastes great.

Nice little stock pile. Saved me $20.00 from my grocery bill for these 15 gallons. Saved lugging the gallons out of the grocery store, and dealing with the left over plastic jugs when emptied.

Filled up a white 5 gallon bucket with the filtered water, and it's crystal clear.

That's cool and I'm sure it's better than tap water.

But you know the "drinking" water in those jugs just comes from a municipal water supply, right?

The "Spring Water" at the grocery stores has better flavor than the for sale "Drinking Water" that they have filtered from a municipal supply.

I like the Spring Water, think it still has the minerals in it yet.

And of course "Distilled Water" has no minerals in it. (that we use in our automotive cooling systems).

Thank You

Maybe you could do a how to on the charcoal filter for us know nothing dumbasses, instead of just showing off?

Nice work, btw.

My new frig has filtered water and ice in the door. It does take the chlorine out. I don't know about the fluoride but probably so. The bad thing, you have to buy a specific filter for it. It has a chip in it and the system doesn't work when the filter times out. I tried peeling the label and chip off and sticking it on a new cheaper filter. Nope, they got you by the nads there. It probably costs $10 a month to use.

I stick my head under the faucet and slurp. Works just fine for me.

Ours has that too, but rather quickly it got a moldy musty smell and taste so we stopped using it. Even with a new filter it was the same way.

What's wrong with the garden hose you tap water elitist?

That's what the chlorine is for.

I love the hose taste. A real delicacy

None with well water.
