Yeah, it's the usual "we need minerals in our water!!!!" And they don't know the difference between organic and inorganic minerals. Rocks are minerals, dirt has minerals in it. Do we eat rocks and dirt? No. But put it in the water and all the sudden people love dirt and rocks. Mmmmmmmm so delicious and nutritious!
Now that you say that I do recall something about people used to suck on a stone for something...during pregnancy or somesuch? Memory isn't that great tbh.
Ionic vs elemental form. Each form of filtration targets different analytes. So much about water chemistry is misunderstood. Thats not even getting into the biological impact of “does this matter”
Got into an argument with a water company over “natural minerals” vs sediment before when their filters werent working.
