Drinking water- metals, chemicals, microplastics
Stet123:
Hello all. In doing some research to find better, cleaner drinking water. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as to what would be the best way to filter tap water and remove lead, other metals, microplastics etc. I see a lot of conflicting info online and lots of people trying to sell their products. What are y’all’s thoughts? Thx!

Broadly speaking? In general, unless you live in a third country and/or have no access to municipal water it doesn't make sense to even try. Well done water purification require hardware and methods that require years to train and take years to master.
The only parameter that can be relatively simply changed is water hardness.

So potentially hazardous chemicals and heavy metals(Flint, MI) can’t be filtered out of normal household taps?
Borek:
Not in a reliable way.

So we are just stuck with drinking contaminated water? No hope?
