Because of the we did not like the taste of our tab water and we were concerned with plastic in the water when buying bottled water, we bought a reverse osmosis filter for home. We added a mineral filter to the system so we get some minerals as well (only to improve the taste).

I still quite a fan of this even when I drink water from plastic bottles when I am on the road.

Cost wise I found it evens out per bottle when compared to buy cheap bottled water from e.g. Aldi. However, it is not necessary to carry water bottles anymore which already is quite an improvement and well worth the money.

The article has bad news for ya then...

> the most commonly detected plastic was polyamide, a material commonly used in water filtration systems and "the most popular membrane material used in reverse osmosis

Ugh, I also have a reverse Osmosis system and this is the first time hearing about this. Anyone here knows is there is research suggesting that these filters may have adverse health effects?

Don't Aldi's water bottles have chlorine like city water does?
