You can’t see them. You can’t taste them. They’re invisible ninjas. But they’re probably in your tap water right now.
One study found PFAS in the blood of 98% of Americans. That’s almost everyone! You’ve got a permanent, unwanted souvenir from your raincoat.
Some PFAS are used to make carpets stain-resistant. So, your living room rug might be releasing them into the air. Breathe deep—forever style.
But wait—there’s a catch with RO
RO removes good minerals too. Calcium, magnesium, the stuff your bones love. You end up with water so pure it’s almost sterile.
Some people re-add minerals. You can buy mineral drops or use a remineralization filter. Otherwise, you’re drinking the aquatic equivalent of plain white rice.
Also, RO systems are a bit high-maintenance. They have filters that need changing every 6-12 months. Forgetting to swap them is like leaving a bouncer asleep at the door.
