Finding clean water is a major challenge in today's world, and I'm afraid I don't have any easy answers for you. You have to dig deep...

Not all filters can remove all the impurities added by today's water channels and sources...

Bottled water which is single-source, in bottles which leach less, AND has a short travel distance is rare...

In most areas, well water and other natural bodies is best tested regularly by a lab which will tell you the results...

I've heard of a few other methods of water purification, such as multi-step macro-process, but I've yet to try them myself.

I’ll probably settle for filtering local tap water as well as I can. There are a couple of restaurants and cafés in town who obsess about water quality so I should probably talk to them.
