Love this brass tacks guide. I've shared this with some friends who have water concerns. It feels powerful to have actionable steps to protect ourselves. Thank you!
Water is the foundation of everything. Your work holding systems accountable for water contamination is vital because people often don't realize the risk until it's too late. The DIY approach empowers people to take action rather than just waiting for government intervention. That's real advocacy.
Yes, I drink a lot of water especially since taking chemotherapy for cancer. It’s amazing how many people drink very little, certainly not the recommended amount.
We installed a whole house King Water filtration system over a month ago. When I boil water the bottom of kettle or pot has a white powder coating. The inside of pot is stained white. White particles float on top as it boils. Any thoughts. Have gone back to drinking micro-plastic water!
sounds like a mineral deposit. do you live in an area with hard water? Have you tried a good flush of the system? Run cold water through all faucets for 5-10 minutes, flush each outlet starting with the one closest to the filter and moving outward.
We ran all faucets with cold water for 15 mins after installation. ( which unfortunately produced a pipe leak from 2nd story onto ground floor ceiling).
I drank the water for about a week although taste wasn't as good as plastic water 🤨. I checked my tea kettle and it was coated with the white powder. Had to scrub hard. Then realized a strong half white vinegar & water did the trick. Don't know what to do. I'm showering and doing laundry with the filtered water.
Collecting rainwater and then a filtration system is probably superior to any municipal water supply. At least for drinking and cooking.

We are battling SK hynix building a semi-conductor plant in the midst of our homes. Advice on how David defeats Goliath? PFAS are scary AF.
Before filtration: cyclopure tested and there was pfas contamination.
After filtration with Clearly Filtered: non detect

Thank you, but you didn’t discuss microplastics. We should not be drinking those; some advice o that?
We covered them extensively here, including filters: https://www.thebrockovichreport.com/p/are-there-microplastics-in-your-drinking
