This is great but if you're cluey you are buying spring water from sources that can tell you what's in the water. Corporate bottled waters owned by Pepsi and Coke and such, like Dasani, are just shitty tap water in a bottle. Spring waters typically don't have additives like flouride because why bother. buy those. the plastic bottles are fine as long as you're not leaving them out in the heat or reusing a bunch of times.
can you link one? the only filters ive seen that can remove everything are crazy reverse osmosis systems that need a fucking plumber to install and cost close to 800$.
ZeroWater, 10 Cup Pitcher with Free Water Quality Meter, BPA-Free, NSF Certified to Reduce Lead and Other Heavy Metals https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073PZ6O0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZAopBbKH98CH5
Thanks for the link, but it does not remove fluoride.
ZeroWater filters are not certified for the reduction of fluoride however fluoride is an inorganic compound. The TDS meter is designed to detect inorganic compounds.
It also does not remove estrogen.
Again for any real water filtration system you need a reverse osmosis system that will require professional installation and cost hundreds of dollars.
I'm sure that these "over the counter" pitchers are not hurting as they do remove some bullshit, but they do not remove the worst stuff that is causing problems.
