filtered water

[Primemuscle]

Exclusively, almost one year.  Before that it was a combination of distilled water and cheaply filtered water.

One week into drinking only distilled water, I felt much better.  I wasn't expecting that.  Could be the filtered water I was drinking has some chemicals or heavy metals that were slightly affecting my health negatively.  I was using a cheap faucet, carbon filter.

The myths regarding distilled water go like this:

It doesn't have any minerals.  So what?  Ask anybody who says that which minerals and in what amounts should be in water.  They can't tell you because it's all marketing by the people who sell mineral water and water filters.  We should be getting our minerals and other nutrients from food, not water.  I do add a little bit of Redmond's Real Salt to my water anyway, for other reasons.  So that gives me sodium and other trace minerals in my water anyway.

It's more acidic, so it dissolves some of its plastic container and then you drink plastic.  This is exaggerated, and we consume many more plastics from other sources than from plastic bottled, distilled water.  All you have to do is make sure you don't leave your plastic bottled distilled water in the heat, or exposed to sunlight.  Otherwise, buy your own distiller.

I'm considering purchasing my own distiller which is nothing but stainless steel and glass.  They are expensive and bulky, but the bigger more expensive ones can distill 8 to 18 gallons per day.  The cheap, counter top ones take hours just to make a little less than a gallon.

It's so acidic that it leaches out minerals from your body.  That's a myth.  People eat and drink stuff many times more acidic than distilled water and that doesn't happen.  Your stomach acid alone is many times more acidic.

As for filtered water, the best filtration system is reverse osmosis.  The problem is that the best filtration system can filter only 98% or less impurities.  It also wastes tons of water which stays behind in the filters.  It's also very high maintenance and expensive, replacing filters, water lines, etc.  For that kind of money and trouble, I'd expect water that's 100% pure of contaminants.

The process of distillation is simply boiling pure H2O out of its contaminants.  The water (with its contaminants) is boiled, the pure water then turns into steam and is captured and cooled.

"Yes, you can drink distilled water. However, you might not like the taste because it's flatter and less flavorful than tap and bottled waters. ... This process removes impurities and minerals from the water. Some sources claim that drinking distilled water will help detoxify your body and improve your health."

Getbiggers, do you see now why the industry doesn't want you to know it's okay to drink affordable, distilled water?

Those prices don't even include the cost of filter replacement and other replacement parts.  A friend of mine pays over $200 a year in replacement filters alone.  It also doesn't include the cost of wasted water.

Getbiggers buy new expensive water systems every week and throw out last weeks.

I do typically buy 1 gallon of drinking water everyday.  it is .80 for a gallon of water.

reason why I buy it? when I pay for something, no matter how cheap I end up using it. and I typically drink gallon of water per day.

works well for me - also off season bbing (I believe being smaller/healthy than a big fat bloated mess in the off season) so I fast till 11:30am and the gallon of water helps keep me full.

carry on gents
go eagles and ravens

I got news for all you I'm healthy because I only drink this type of water. You will die like the rest of us.

That's a lot of water. You must pee a lot.

You're right I am old which means I have been drinking tap water for a very, very long time. My digestive system works great. Most trace elements are harmless. Here's the scoop on Clackamas river water, which is what I get. http://crwater.com/drinking-water-treatment/

People who are concerned about drinking tap water because of the tiny amount of chlorine in it can boil their drinking water which removes the chlorine.

Thanks for the link to the EWG tap water database. Here is their report on the tap water where I live.

City of West Linn
EWG's drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group by the Oregon Health Authority, as well as information from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History database (ECHO). For the latest quarter assessed by the U.S. EPA (January 2019 - March 2019), tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards.

Your water treatment plant runs outdated mixed media sand filters and the quarterly water quality report indicates your 7X the recommended level of Hexavalent Chromium (Erin Brockovich wouldn’t drink your water) and TTHM (known carcinogen) levels 219X the recommended levels.

And you think you have good tap water?

Imbecile.

Interesting. You know, I've looked into this several times before but as you say there are many negative things to read out there.

Depends where you live I suppose....

I just drink tap water.

Yik

Well, well.  You are right about the levels of TTHM and Hexavalent Chromium according the the EWG reports. What is also interesting is the according to EWG these levels are extremely lower than the national average. So, thanks for the information. Maybe I should reconsider drinking bottled water. I've been drinking West Linn water for over 22 years and I'm still alive as are my immediate neighbors, some of whom have been drinking it much longer than I have. But who knows what would happen if I continue to drink it for another 20 years or so.

Frankly, I am a little surprised that you even think about drinking water conditions. Somehow, I wouldn't have pegged you as an environmentalist.

Bottled water is just someone else's tap water.
