Local tap is dubious at best and leaded at worst so we fill 5gallon jugs at a filter station the next town over. I’m getting tired of transporting and paying for water, so I’d like to make a filter that won’t just clog up with hard water in a week. Anyone have recommendations on where to start?
Strictly drinking and cooking. The utilities say it’s safe stuff but honestly it’s nasty if it isn’t boiled first. That said, I don’t often get bathwater in my mouth so it’s not really a problem there.
Now I am thinking of more aesthetically pleasing options. A pond? Stores vast amounts of water and some plants can also help remove contaminants as well. Then a small filter to pass water through before consumption
