      It was.

      I’m paying about C$50/ year for an under-the-sink cold water inlet filter. It’s not a subscription, but that’s roughly how often I need to replace the filter. So $2/mo isn’t that bad.

        Jesus, how much water do you drink?

        I hope you’re aware that it’s possible to drink too much water and die from it…

            You use filtered water to… water the garden?.. At this point you could use your blood to water the garden.

            Not saying that you shouldn’t water garden at all, because garden is good, garden is food.

              Well, it’s an under-sink inlet attached filter, so the pressure throughput is the same as if you were to use a regular faucet.

                  For drinking? Yes, the water stops tasting like chlorine and iron. It also filters lead, fluoride and other unvanted elements. Simple carbon filter I believe.

                  Not sure it makes any difference for the back yard though.

                    Salts are fine, but you have lead in your water? Then yes, you better filter it, there is no safe lead concentration. Lead is super toxic for mammals.

                    You should make lab analysis of tap water. If your water company delivers water with lead, then you should complain and deal with it.

                    Another awkward translation.

        Surely their price is considerably low, but given the limited locations where people can actually get access to the water, it is not that cheap. Imagine waiting in line with your mobile phone and your cup to get a little sap. You would want a huge water tank to cut down the frequency of fetching water. Good for motorhome users though.
