You don’t have to go all-in. Maybe try a carbon filter first. They remove chlorine and taste but leave minerals. Or get a countertop RO system that’s less wasteful.
If you do go RO, don’t store it in plastic for a week. It’s so pure that it can start absorbing stuff from the container. Glass or stainless steel is your friend. Yes, you’re becoming that person. Welcome.
And for crying out loud, eat some veggies. The water isn’t your only source of nutrients. Your body knows what to do.
The verdict, served with a wink
Reverse osmosis water is fine. It’s not magic, not poison. It’s clean, boring, and a little snooty. If your tap tastes like dirt, go for it. If your water is already decent, maybe save your cash for a nice water bottle instead.
In the end, the best water is the one you actually drink. So whether it’s RO, tap, or that dusty bottle in your car, just stay hydrated. And maybe don’t overthink the whole mineral thing. Your body’s got this.
Now, go fill your glass. Cheers, you beautiful filter wizard.
