1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

we have pretty hard water. A charcoal filter is enough to knock some of the edge off and make it taste noticeably better

if I planned on living here longer I would consider a whole home water softener

 

you still drink water from the tap?

 

Real 1st world toilet seat woes. The plywood seat in my outhouse is showing it's age too.

 

All day everyday

 

I usually fill my water bottle at work where the water is noticeably better

 

I drink a phuckton of water. I killed my 40oz nalgene during an hour meeting earlier

 

reverse osmosis system

 

when I lived alone I had a filter pitcher in the fridge for guests but keeping it filled with roommates is a chore so the small investment for a separate tap is worth my sanity

 

Thought about it

 

Hard water will fuck your appliances up. Washers, dish washers, fridges with water systems.

usually charcoal filters dont get ride of calcium

 

For this guy's setup, you'd need both. geez. he even has the full harness. that is a lot of work.

It does, my good roommate actually just cleaned the drain for the washing machine and commented on the buildup

 

Not sure about the ones on the market today but older water softener systems (you know, that huge tank just as it comes in from the street, usually in the garage) - used a boatload of water. Neighbor had one and his water bill was ridiculous. Removed the system - bill back to normal.

 

Calcium makes your skin feel weird after awhile

 

I should buy if and put it in my frame

 

Clogs water intake screens on washers. I see good ones at the curb with clogged screens. $1 repair $100 payout.

 

Gas fired tankless water heaters?

 

actually looks like softeners are pretty cheap, maybe I'll add one later this year
