Yeah. It's not cheap but jeeeze. Drinking water is just getting less and less safe no matter what the government or our water companies try telling us.
The best I can find for initial investment seems to be around 150-200 dollars, at least as far as low cost is concerned. But none of those filter systems have very good reviews. It's looking like the least expensive GOOD filters have an initial investment of around 300 dollars.
And you have to replace at least 2 filter stages every so often as well.
EDIT: Note this is mainly for USA... I haven't done sufficient research of other countries water supplies. But the US supply is horridly contaminated. Even the BEST city filtration systems are still awful. Largely because of federally mandated flouridation... Get rid of the flouride and some areas are actually pretty decent.
EDIT 2: And I should place a disclaimer that links to breast issues are as yet still circumstantial... But the way I see it, with such a clearly overstated benefit and more likely lack of any and so many possible problems, INCLUDING even just circumstantial links to breast problems? Why the heck take the risks?
