My Wife Said Our Tap Water Was Bad. I Did Not Handle This Proportionately.
She mentioned it once. Casually. “I don’t love the taste of our tap water.”
A reasonable person buys a Brita filter. Maybe a pitcher with a little carbon cartridge. Done.
I bought a 6-stage reverse osmosis system with UV purification and remineralization that sits on the counter like a small spacecraft and filters water to a level that would be acceptable in a laboratory.
The Bluevua RO100ROPOT-UV removes up to 99% of contaminants — lead, chlorine, fluoride, bacteria, viruses — then remineralizes it on the way out because apparently pure water needs its minerals put back in. It has a built-in TDS meter so you can watch the numbers drop in real time, which is either satisfying or alarming depending on what your tap water was doing before.
Our water tastes incredible now. My wife has not said anything about tap water since. The system paid for itself in bottled water we no longer buy.
Was this overkill? Almost certainly. Do I regret it? Not even a little. Blame the internet.
