      “I have to run a whole house filter just to shower with it.”

      Adding in a water filtration system to make it drinkable costs more than just buying water jugs or refiling 5 gallon ones at stores. I mean the water comes out rusty sometimes.

        I guess I meant more like a Brita filter. Or, my fridge has one built in. I never have to buy bottled water and it tastes great.

          Yeah that doesn’t work where I currently live. Even the previous area, which was maybe 20 minutes away. I had a water filter just for my fridge in tandem with the fridge filter. White spots from the drops formed on the drip tray. And long story short, I spent a week in the hospital getting my kidneys cleaned out; not really sure how to describe it fluid being pumped through an IV.

              You’re all good. And you know, they announced they changed the chemistry in the water, nice right, and so don’t drink the water or shower for a week.
