Im not a sales person nor do i work for or endorse this company. these filters can be found at walmart and work pretty good for hard water and high PH. some of the stuff they sell comes with an extra TDS meter as well.

@spek9 I sent you a PM, no response yet. Check your messages brother!

You can buy a R/O system for under 200$....

I use a pur that fits on my faucet. So much easier to fill than fucking with pitchers.

Just FYI, if you measure PPM after using those filters it only goes down about 100 ppm...my tap is so bad that that's a 350 after 460ish ppm out the tap

I'm expecting a PPM/EC meter from Santa and very curious what it shows. I can't get shit for info out my municipal water company about CA, MG, etc...

There is no such thing. Filtering something is different than forcing a membrane through water. The filters will clean up your water for sure but there is no replacement for reverse osmosis. Most of those filters are just the first 2 steps in the water pirification process. If you were to cheap out and cut corners make sure you use a filter with KDF-85. Still wont be nearly as good as using a ro machine or getting off the couch and taking a jug down to the water store for $1.50

I don't know how many gallons you guys need for a flush or initial setup, but I can't imagine using a pitcher. What about a spot free carwash filter that fits on a hose, most homes have a utility sink somewhere, with a hose fitting on the faucet....

I have always been able to catch and save as much rain water as I have needed
