1- removing TDS and drinking distilled water will LEACH your body of nutrients...
2- you remove the additives your government PAYS to put in, like fluoride which saves thousands in dental bills...
3- If your 'carbon' filter is like some in the "britta" brand they usually ADD back nutrients, like magnesium etc.
4-The water standards of most 1st world counties are very high (I'm from Australia and our treatment plants must be able to reduce virus counts by log9 = 99.9999999% reduction)
@cahriisss "the fluoride which saves thousands in dental bills" he says XD....! (im sorry, some of you will get this. hopefully alot of you. for the rest, google "fluorosis". or better yet, look at fluoride action network [dot] org's "50 reasons to avoid fluoride")
@falconeyedive Fluoride is only one example i made, not the only thing you are taking out... Also,
I had a read of that site, most of the stuff on there is based on ridiculous assumptions and very unfounded, look past the headings and i'm sure u'll see a few straight away discrediting the whole website...
Also I've drunk tap water my entire life (on top of using fluoride toothpastes) and have no flourosis...
I can hand you a first year lecture with studies and equations which may help.
@cahriisss let me first say that i respect how, even tho i was poking a little fun, that you responded in a rational, concise manner. im not used to that and am usually playing the role myself so much that sometimes i give in and can be a bit crass. just wanted you to know i appreciate that youre not one of those people who wants to contribute to a troll-off lol. im all open to any research you'd like to point me to. i think my main problem is that we are now ADDING things to water that a simple

@cahriisss in cavities, whether their water is fluoridated or not, naturally makes me skeptical, not only of the "benefits"of the addition, but what "negative repercussions" might allegedly occur if we were to remove it. one thing i heard is that fluoride accumulates in the body, which by itself doesnt sound very good. i think that probably my biggest problem tho is that, although it must certainly be cheaper to leave some water un-fluoridated, to sell side-by side with other bottled water,
@cahriisss we arent even given that choice, lets say, if we DO personally find it to be questionable, unneeded, or undesirable. i dont think i'm overly paranoid about it, i'd just like to hear better arguments as to why it is so critically necessary. love your country by the way. hope to see it (and its world-renown quota of dangerous animals^^) someday.
@cahriisss (and btw, i have no problem with other things in the water, tds, minerals, etc, because it is there in the first place. i know that most water er contains very trace amounts of flouride naturally, and that some, depending on the source, will exceed what we get in our water now. the problem is that the levels we are getting are getting there by artificial means, and, if what i've been reading is correct, at above the natural level that we would experience in nature, which, once again
@cahriisss im sorry, i had to add this, but lets say that the fluoride (the compounds formed with which pretty much range from mildly to fatally toxic) that you INGEST INTO YOUR BODY (you know not to swallow your toothpaste, right? cuz, it like, says to call poison control, right there on the tube, if you do) isnt harmful.... youre gonna pay the government to brush your teeth for you? what are you, a communist? XD!!!
@ega278 Tap water has a lot of toxins in it, to remove some f these you can distil the water, to remove the rest you pass it through a filter. When I pour myself a glass of this pure water I then add a pinch of Himalayan salt to re mineralise the water.
@WishingBones The process is: Boil water in a closed container (kettle) let the steam go along a copper or stainless steel pipe until it cools back in to water and drips in to a bottle. I make the cooling process more affective by passing the copper pipe down through a bin with water in it. Some I have my water I then pass it through a carbon filter put it in the fridge. When I pour myself a glass of this pure water I then add a pinch of Himalayan salt to re mineralise the water.
if i distilt reverse osmosis water, should filter them later, im pretty sure im not, because RO already removes 95% of all the crap in tap water, but still what is your opinion ?
@WishingBones I think you are correct. The only reason I filter the water afterwards is because some compounds have a lower boiling point than water and thus come across with the water.
@InspiredByDemand not to sure(prob alot), altho it cost me 180£, but i tested the water afterwards and it had a 0 reading on tds meter which is perfect. 100% h20. i highly recommend if you can afford

@falconeyedive it's chemical waste so it's cheaper to just throw it in our water than to dispose of it.
