5/15 I'm thinking of buying a water filter for the faucet like Brita
PUR or. those Anybody know things are for real if? things Do those
really work or are they just gimmicks? Thanks.
\_ the carbon filter brita does work...friend in env. eng. verified
this, and I studied this myself a little in ce111
\_ I used to have a little Brita pot. Now I just buy 2.5 gal
Arrowhead water.
\_ I have a PUR "plus" water filter/pitcher system. I don't know
how scientifically accurate the claims are, but the water
filtered water does taster better than un-filtered one (which didn't
tastes better than from the tap.
\_ Brita-filtered Fremont water is bland. But that's far
better than unfiltered Fremont water, which has been
described by some as "chewy." Not to be confused with
Union City water, which is "lumpy." -- tmonroe
\_ I have a Brita filter/pitcher. When I lived in Oakland, the
filtered water does taste better than un-filtered one (which didn't
taste bad to begin with). But now I live in Fremont and both the
filtered water and the unfiltered one taste bad and there's not
much difference.
\_ Well, look on the bright side, at least Fremont is much more
expensive than Oakland or Berkeley.. Hmm, wait...
\_ Oakland seems to have the superior water for the Bay Area.
San Jose seems to suck (some parts?). The water came out
fuzzy. But with the filter, it came out clear -- made big
diff. I notice that a lot of silicon valley companies either
provide small bottles of water, bottled water (like those
big blue jugs) and/or the filters/tank/tubes under the sink
for tap water. It all helps. Who knows what kinda crap
gets into the water with all the chip manufacturers?
\_ You don't want to know. |
