Look, water from a stream looks all innocent and sparkling. But under a microscope? It’s a tiny horror movie starring bacteria, viruses, and little metal hitchhikers.
Your body is a delicate, beautiful machine. You don’t want to feed it Cryptosporidium (say that five times fast) just because you were thirsty. Purification is basically giving your water a spa day so it’s safe enough to hug your insides.
And tap water? It’s already purified, but maybe you want it extra crispy. Or maybe you live somewhere where the water tastes like a swimming pool. No judgment.
