My Tap Water Filter Got Dirty in a Week — Is My Water Safe?
My Filter Experiment Raises Questions
After moving to Australia I got into filtered water. The water in Australia smells and tastes quite a bit like chlorine for my little Austrian nose and the BRITA water filter* did the trick.
The problem is that the water is still positively charged in plastic and therefore basically zombie water but when I also bought a copper bottle and filled it up with filtered water, I felt more energized during the day. Water in copper bottles or cups will be charged negatively and therefore it is living water. (Please don’t ask me the details, I am not a chemist or biologist, thanks).
The water that comes right out of the tap just doesn’t feel and smell right so I did an experiment. In addition to filtering the water with the BRITA water filter* and the copper bottle, I bought and installed simple filters directly on the faucet.
According to the seller, depending on the water quality these faucet water filters* should last for about 1 month until they get too dirty and you have to exchange them.
