I have one of those pitchers that I mainly use to get rid of the chlorine taste in the tap water, but are the actual health claims about drinking filtered water actually true? There are claims that these dinky little passive filters can get rid of things like lead and PFAS which I honestly don't believe. Especially if you're using it with tap water which I'd assume would always have some kind of active filtration before it gets to your home, so the idea that whatever got past the industrial grade filter at the water treatment plant can be caught by a little plastic one sounds more than a little fishy to me. Anyone have knowledge about this.

Love seeing this in the comments:

Sorry, my original comment was deleted.

Please think about leaving Reddit, as they don't respect moderators or third-party developers which made the platform great. I've joined Lemmy as an alternative: https://join-lemmy.org/

    Recently while troubleshooting I've found a lot of deleted comments with dozens of people saying thanks, often for years afterwards. Reddit annoyed their most valuable posters and we're all paying for it.
