I’m a plumber, and I explain to people you can wind up with legionella, cryptosporidium, etc. in their old galvanized pipes and all that, and people could care less. I tested one couple’s water for chlorine at 0.8 ppm (a pool should be 1-3 ppm). I tested it, then put my finger in the water for a few seconds, then tested it again and got 0.0, showing them that it absorbs through your skin. They didn’t care at all that their 2-month old son was drinking it and bathing in it. Filtration is so important for people’s health, and it’s the hardest thing for us to sell.
I live in a city with "award winning water" but the infrastructure is aged, so,I have been using PUR filters on the kitchen faucet. I bought dozens of filters from thrifts over the last 2 decades I have lived here. Out of the tap the water tastes blah, so I am grateful for the huge cost savings for filters..

Didn’t take much to sell less. The investment of a whole home water system, and drinking water system has paid for itself, by providing great health.
