Get a reverse osmosis (RO) filter! What you drink is BAD!

it is one of the best ways to clean drinking water at home. It works by pushing water through a super-fine membrane that traps pollutants but lets pure water through.

  • Removes up to 99% of harmful metals like lead, arsenic, and chromium.

  • Cuts PFAS ("forever chemicals") by about 95–99%.

  • Filters out pesticides, drug residues, and hormones at similar rates.

  • Reduces chlorine, fluoride, and disinfection byproducts that affect taste and may harm health.

  • Even catches tiny pollutants like microplastics and radioactive particles.

The result is safer, fresher-tasting water that encourages your family to drink more. This is especially valuable for kids, pregnant women, or anyone with weaker immune systems.

RO units are super affordable compared to buying bottled water long-term: small under-sink systems cost around $150 and easy to install (I did it myself in an hour), and filters usually only need changing every 6–12 months.

Be advised that the inexpensive RO systems waste 3 to 4 gallons of water for each gallon of filtered water. And you need to add minerals back into your RO filtered water for optimal health. (Per Grok today)

I sell innovative high quality Swiss made waterfilters here in Cyprus since I got interested in this topic when we built our house here. I found out that people often get blinded by the amount of filter elements or fancy texts but I strongly recommend that you look at the quality of the filter elements. The text often says it filters chlorine and pesticides but does not disclose how much of it... and often it's not a lot. A water molecule is about 0,28 nm in size and with todays technologies you can filter very close to that to filter absolutely everything unwanted (Nitrates for example are very small particles but you can also google a chart where you can see what will be left in if you buy a cheap filter). Often fancy looking filters only filter in the micrometer range so there will be lots of unwanted chemicals left in there. To sum this up... don't go for the cheapest filter - they often look the same - inform yourself what you want to get out and purchase the filter you need. The amount of minerals you get from unfiltered water is most likely not significant enough (and also very dependent on where you live) to avoid to filter them out (they are bigger in particle size than some unwanted particles). Often companies offer you cartridges to re-mineralize water but it's often low quality and not bioavailable. You should get plenty of minerals through food or other supplements but I would not waste money on a cartridge to re-mineralize water.... just my 2 cents :)

The space is so flooded with systems. I’d love to confidently buy something that works. I know, but back in the day James you’re very centered around health with your YouTube channel. Sure be awesome if you or your team could identify some good water systems.

I am very passioned about water. Our body is mostly water. RO is the way to go!!! Also I can’t not recommend enough to get this electrolytes and minerals !!! It has no flavor and it will do wonders for your body. https://tr.ee/XnJAkl

I am passionate about water too, but we drink Kangen water. It’s alkaline, ionized water with a pH of 9.5 and negative ORP (oxidation reduction potential). If you research it on pubmed, use term electrolyzed reduced water. It is alkaline water for drinking, but there are also other pH waters that can be helpful for cleaning or antimicrobial uses. Fascinating field we have been learning since 2010.

If your diet’s solid, RO water usually isn’t a problem. But, it’s not always needed either. I’ve got access to mountain spring water, so light filtration does the trick. The good stuff.

City water is often gnar-gnar. I’d very likely have a much stronger filter if i lived in one. I do use distilled/osmotically filtered water for certain appliances to prevent scale buildup. So, water being devoid of minerals has its place elsewhere too.

Use a distiller. $100 on Amazon. 100% pure water unlike RO.

I’ve had a RO system at home for years and honestly couldn’t be happier - I even give my cats filtered water to help prevent kidney / bladder stones!
