I have one and I reuse the jugs but it's a PITA to go to the water filtration place to get them filled, not to mention quite a bit more expensive than a case of water bottles. I have also started collecting rainwater for watering and I'm thinking about coming up with a way to filter that for drinking, problem then is evaporation so I can't really rely on it. I can lose probably 20 gallons of water a day to evaporation from my 40 gallon bucket.
Absolutely not what though? The guy shared his experience/opinion and that was it.
I completely agree by the way and was very happy to see the post. To me coke tastes absolutely great in a can but tastes like shit in plastic, ice tea on the other hand has a metallic taste after going through a can but no such thing in plastic bottle.
Here in NY instead of limestone we have bajillions of tons of sulfur. Thankfully my retarded well diggers managed to go like 500+ feet instead of stopping at the like <30 feet our neighbors hit water at so our water is incredibly good.
Do what they did in California, load of black floating balls to reduce evaporation.
You might be able to get a filter for your water main depending on how it's set up, worst case you can just get one of those jugs with a filter built in.
I wish i could buy happiness in a can, too
that can looks cleeeaaan, i can see this becoming my goto whenever i need water when i'm out tbh
They ought to make them resealable like those Monster cans
budweiser stockpiles a shitton of canned water to ship out during natural disasters and the like
That's just their beer but luckily nobody can tell the difference.
You can't just boil scale and sediment out of water though, you'd need to capture the vapor and collect the condensation (?)
just boiling it would only kill microbes.
I buy canned fruit flavored sparkling water sometimes, I don't how this is much of a difference.
I'd rather buy this than plastic bottled water tbh.
I live in a hard-water area and have a violent gag reflex when I drink calcified water, blow me.
Like how they're trying to market this as new yet I've seen Tesco and discount stores like Home Bargins stocking still and sparkling water in cans since forever.
Only real part that is reinforced out of all of this is the scale of recycling for cans, they are vastly more recycled thus making them better in the long run, plastic on the other hand is cheaper which is why its abused.
Why not put condensers on top of the water barrels outside so the evaporation purifies the water for you?
Thought about it but I'm pretty sure the collected water would still end up with mosquitos and other contamination, necessitating a filter regardless before it's drinkable.
Did you not read his earlier posts? He mentioned he's tried many different kinds of filters and none of them work.
You actually cannot filter hard water into soft water. It requires a whole softening process that cannot be achieved by a filter on a tap or a jug.
He's said his problem is water super heavy in dissolved lime. That's a really big problem and it's legitimately unsafe to drink depending on just how bad it is.
