I always heard that drinking hot water from the tap was unsafe (at least where I'm from) due to the risk of lead being picked up from old pipes. Also sediment from the water heater.

    Yes, you shouldn't drink hot water from the tap. I have a water dispenser, as in an equipment where you put a 20L mineral water bottle and you can pour either cold or hot water.

    Been wondering if those Brio things were any good, I just don't have the money to spend on replacement filters. But hooking a water line up to it and having hot/cold water that has gone through the reverse osmosis process would be nice. They are like $400 though, and $150 after that a year in filters last I saw.

    If you live in a place where there are still old lead pipes in the system, which almost everyone in the US does, you should start pushing your city representatives to get it fixed. It's a major hazard in all sorts of ways.

    I live in one of the very few cities in the US that replaced all of its lead pipes a couple of decades ago.
