During the D.C. Environmental Film Festival I saw a documentary called Poisoned Waters that talked about the quality of D.C. tap water. Not to my surprise, it’s terrible! I was not very happy with the way the pitcher and faucet filters were working either. I decided to look for an alternative because I didn’t want to buy bottled water, which often times is the same quality as tap water and also contributes to plastic waste.
I purchased the 4 gallon Zen Water Filter Purifier through Amazon for $49 and I am so happy with the way the water tastes. I would like to test the water and compare it to the water from the faucet filter I was using and regular tap water to get a more scientific assessment of the quality, but for now I am happy that at least it’s better than what I was drinking before.
