pets and tap water

[DonJuane]

Try a conventional 5 stage reverse osmosis water filter with an added "booster pump" designed for these filters (booster required for non-pressurized water systems). I stick with the old style that cost about $30US (in filters) a year to operate instead of the new fancy "quick change" everyone now sells that costs maybe 5-10 times that amount to maintain. You can find a 5 stage on eBay for around $150 and a booster pump for around $75-90 and a set of filters to last you 3 years for around $100. You can work out the math if the filter will be worth eliminating wagging those bottles up and down the hills or hanging around the door for them to be delivered every day or so - or not.

After watching locals drink the tap water, it's probably something else that will nail you in the end, with pets, likely another dog or a car that will be the end rather than the water but it's always good to prevent all the ill will we can as we move forward. And what's more refreshing than a glass of water we know is fresh because we filtered it ourselves.
