I had a carpet fitter come to my house, I offered him a cup of tea, and he said I don’t drink tap water it’s got all sorts of crap in it, ok I said, then he went outside for a cigarette! 🤔
@@mlev1111when buying something from an unknown small brand that uses technology that’s pretty new, don’t trust their products lol. There haven’t been research done on their products whether it has negative effects if you drink from their system for 40 years or so. Bigger brands mostly have, plus they really don’t want to poison their clients as it will bring down their million dollar business.
We just got told we have forever chemicals in my town & they're giving out free filters and bottled water now. It's become so bad they can't keep up with the demand of the free items and turns out, they knew about this for quite awhile now and only recently decided to start doing something about it. I encourage everyone to look up your city/village's water quality reports for yourself just in case.
Pretty much every in America. They just won’t tell you about it. The main pipes created in America were all lead pipes, plus all the pollution from the early 1900s with the “forever chemicals”.
I’ve never trusted the Gov so I’ve never drank or cooked with tap water since i became an adult i’m 44. Cause deep down I’ve always known if something went wrong with the water. They probably wouldn’t tell the public until they had to plus my apt is old so I know the pipes are old, but im tired of carrying heavy waters every week. I’ve been for some years looking for an alternative and was gonna buy the berkey. Cause systems like this post are so expensive to buy and keep up with. The berkey the military uses but now they are saying it’s bad so there’s that. All my family and friends have made fun of me and given me shit for not using tap water at all. When they would see me only use filter water to cook they always would say you are so wasteful. I bet if they found out how bad the water is they would not look at me weird anymore. I want to also filter the shower water wish I could have afforded all this years ago but is what it is. It’s sad that poor ppl don’t have access to good medical, dental or water and food. How sad that only ppl with money can afford the basics of life that keep a person in good health. I’m narrowing down what I’m going to buy for the kitchen and to filter my shower.
Some places are blessed to have that. Most places aren’t in that position unfortunately. Also, make sure they’re not adding anything to the water if that’s the case. That happens more often than most realize.
No berkey. A lady here in Ireland sent her water from berkey to be tested. Berkey has good marketing but nothing to back up their claims. The water results came back with awful high readings of aluminium and the others were doubled too.
You can just buy a simple $30 PPM meter and see how much is being filtered out. My 5 stage reverse osmosis system will turn my 250ppm tap water into 7ppm. That's basically pure water.
It’s because of the fluoride filter is using alumina which produces aluminum, there’s one filter that uses carbonate apatite instead which apparently works.
@@lup6974 Sure there’s a high upfront cost but it pays out. A big berkey is 2.25 gallons and comes with two black filters for $400. Each filter lasts 3000 gallons so for $400 dollars you get 6000 gallons which comes out to 6-7cents/gallon, which if you used 6 gallons a day would last you over three years and then you can buy new filters at $175/pair! It’s not that expensive and you can also use it with boil water advisories etc. if you save a little over a dollar a day. You can have one this time next year….
remember that bottled water (not including spring-sourced) is regulated MUCH LESS than municipal tap water. The quality of municipal tap water is checked multiple times daily. Tap water quality is also very subjective to where you live. Tap water isn’t evil
Got to be careful because regardless of those tests or not it means nothing after it leaves there and actually goes threw your part of the pipes and depending on the pipes and how old they are in your house. Which no amount of regulations outside your house can detect
@@RobBrightBeast that's what water testing is for. Everyone has that ability, most don't realize how easy it is. I recommend not doing the free testing because the information is for them, not you.
@@RobBrightBeast the tests are pulled from peoples hose faucets at random addresses all across the city… so it is testing the water that is specifically coming out of the faucet. I know this because I’m a certified water operator and I pull these samples every week.
“The quality of the tap water is downright dirty” This is alarmist and categorically false. It highly depends on where you live. People should be encouraged to drink water even if it’s from their tap. I know, shocker right?
The water where I have lived leaves a stain in my bowl. The only time that didn't happen was when I visited Guyana. The places I have lived and had filthy water were Daytona Florida, Philadelphia, Delaware County, Claymont DE and Ocean City NJ.
Alkalised water isn't healthy .. it affects the stomach HCL so the digestion doesn't go well ... Boby that's one of worst filters you may apply.. Think twice and consult a doctor. You may also read more researches about those kinds of filters

@@jjlol7457 well, I amnot an expert but the best one of the best filters is that 7 stages filter or 7 levels filter .. but choose a one that does not affect water acidity
I got a water distiller about 3 months ago and wow. If you saw what was at the bottom of that thing when I'm done it would make your skin crawl. 1/8 of an inch of white, chalky stuff, some brown sticky smells like something dead stuff and a full on rainbow. I can tell the difference in myself, the brain fog lifted, but my one plant that has been dying lately came back and is vibrant. Amazon, $115, I got the 1 1/2 gallon so I didn't have to do it every day. It works. Good luck everyone!
@@katherinel4987 Co-z, there's all types but that's the brand, I believe it was, Dr. Berg uses. I still want to try the reverse osmosis ones but for me right now, this is a good first step.
Your drinking water quality depends on the geology of where you live, the treatment steps your area takes (if public), and pollutant inputs into your environment/groundwater/surface waters - while many people do have concerning levels of life-altering contaminants such as lead in their water many do not. Most drinking water treatment facilities release contaminant reports publicly and you’ll find most of the time that the plain tap water is very safe to drink and does not require this expensive extra step that may not actually do a whole lot
It’s only passed through plastic for a short period of time, and the last filter also filters out micro plastics, aslong as your not drinking hot water your fine
Much like most of the things he says in his videos, there's just not enough science backing the alkaline water health claims. It's a gimmick for you to spend money on filtration systems. Tap water being bad is possible, but the only way to really tell is to have your home water tested. Again, FlavCity, it'd be nice if you provided ANY sources for the health claims you make in your videos.
@@jesussalinas3947 I agree with you.!!. He can go ahead and eat those 2 slices of pizza if he want when he's 45 lol that heart burn is gonna come back with vengeance
I looked at my state and county and OMGosh! Now I’m scared. I’ve been drinking water only filtered through my fridge but now I want what you have to filter my water. I live in a subdivision that’s 25 yo and a huge amount of people in here have cancer. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2017. I’ve lived here for 22 yrs. Thank you so much for this info. I’m making changes and I’m sharing you info with my entire subdivision and many other people. How awful is it that community water is this bad. 😢
@bruce peterson it onto chlorine.. it's chlorimine and it's there for obvious reasons. It isn't harmful and some areas(especially in wa tropical places) need to treat their tap water in order for it to be safe from pathogens. That isn't what this video is even about.. it's about filtering out heavy metals. I didn't say all tap water tasted good, I said it's completely safe and harmless to drink.
@bruce peterson treated with what though? Some places need more clorimine then others. Protip: if your water taste like chlorine(clorimine) just fill your cup or pitcher and let it sit out for a few hours without a lid on and the chlormine will evaporate out of the water and it wont have that taste anymore. . Chlorine doesn't do that.
Really? What about poor people, mentally or physicaly disabled, who can't afford it as they will never ever be able to earn such a money.... Please do not really talk about responsibility for their own life.... Things are not so straight forward and simple as you think.
@lup6974 You can get a basic ro system for 150 and like 30 a year max in filters after that. I mean that's the cost of like 6 cases of water bottles for a whole years supply plus its cleaner.
Sure, I’m some areas of the US the drinking water can have high heavy metal contamination. However, the realities of this are that most of the drinking water supply is fine. Get your blood tested for heavy metals and you’ll see that they are within a very safe level. Since everything has trace heavy metals that naturally occur in some amount in soils, they show up in our food too. Our bodies can naturally get rid of most of these. But, you do you.
Yes I’m in Georgia, just moved into an apartment and was wondering why my stomach was bothering me. I found out it was the tap water. I started buying bottled water and the stomach issues are gone.
Actually tap water is very safe because it’s highly regulated. Yes, some of the limits for metals and pollutants haven’t been updated in a while which need to be updated to modern standards but tap water overall is very safe for most people
Not true, kiddo. Not highly regulated. If this were so, you wouldn’t have the Flint Michigan and other cities in the news recently with high levels of (lead) & other toxic chemicals found in their tap water. This doesn’t sound like highly regulated to me. Each municipality is different. There are high levels of chlorine and chloramines in our water here in Florida. Drinking chlorine destroys gut health and leads to unhealthy gut microbiome. There are unsafe levels of toxic chemicals in our local water. My sister in Illinois has toxic water for her town. No one drinks the water there. You might do more research. Kindly, j.
@@johnjohng668 Kiddo? Well sure some places are neglected when it comes to tap water quality but it’s still highly regulated. My tap water quality here in upstate NY is some of the best in the country. And places like flint Michigan are not due to poor water quality from the source but rather old lead pipes that need replacing. Once they were replaced, tap quality is massively better. Most places in the country have decent water quality
Tap water is fine, but a brita filter works great but I KNOW for a fact the water in at least OK and FL water is fine, my Dad worked in waste water and water treatment. This guy doesn't mention the amount of (ppm) heavy metals that's in the water... so you don't have a baseline. Also if you look at heavy metals are in water you might think it's bad but even if it's 100 ppm it's literally so low that you have to use a super sensitive tester to read it. (Ppm is parts per million). If you live in the USA you have the cleanest treated water in the world. Also this guy likes Alkaline water..... that should tell you everything you need to know about him lol. Hope ppl read this!
Seriously pisses me of how much these nerdy health “experts” spread misinformation online all the time. They cherry pick and misinterpret studies that fit a specific narrative. My dad works in waste water management in FL too and I know damn well my water is safe. People are so caught up on shit that doesn’t even matter like that one random study that shows tap water possibly causing a minuscule chance of developing Alzheimer’s in a very specific case. Like stop complaining and be grateful you even have clean freshwater to drink whenever you want in the first place.
Get yourself a clearlyfiltered pitcher or a water distiller. Britta is not doing you any favors it barely filters out any of the floor ride in your tapwater it’s worth it trust me

Whole home is where it’s at. Hot and cold clean water at any source. Yes it may not clean out EVERY single chemical but water is the universal solvent.
I also recommend to do grander revitalized water with the osmosis system and then for the shower buy the shower head with mineral balls in it to fight mold and your hair won't fall
I agree completely!! No one should be drinking their tap water. & Brita do not remove fluoride, one of the worst parts about 60-70% of the worlds tap water
It’s not good for you to drink R/O water. Because it is so stripped on minerals it will actual absorb the vitamins and minerals in your body when digested. If your going to use R/O you need a mineral filter to add them back in once the waters been cleansed

@@caslnocat3108 you basically stated in your first comment: this channel is useless because these foods are too expensive. Or that is what I understood it to mean. I see a lot of this, this specific excuse being made that foods like these are too expensive, despite it being a very black and white statement. Not a good conclusion or insight on the problem this guy is trying to fix/aid. Just instead perpetuating this excuse and allowing people an easy out. My family struggled heavily with money my whole upbringing and we made it work, so I know the reality is just conscious budgeting and strategizing ways of saving money by buying these foods in bulk or from a discount grocer store. Also just avoiding food waste and buying nutrtious foods that keep you satiated. The reality is, our system makes it unnecessarily difficult to access these foods, so that we are stuck with conventional options that they choose for us. But it is still possible to choose for yourself, just takes being conscious and thoughtful. Thinking people will never change is helping absolutely nothing and isn't really grounded in reality, as people do have the power to change. The system is built to put us against each other so we argue about smaller insignificant differences, rather than staying hopeful and working together. We as a society have formed a clinical distrust for each other because of media, that is generally unwarranted, as we have more in common than you think.
He probably will, everyone ages and gets something whether it be cataracts or arthritis or whatever. and then he will be wondering if it was from that one time he drank tap water.
@@TheSwissCheese87the Berkey System is “just a carbon filter”… The elements are composed of a formulation of more than a half dozen different media types constructed into a very fine matrix creating millions of micro-fine pores. The pores are so small that pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, sediment and sedimentary minerals are not able to pass through them. The media formulation both “absorbs” some contaminates and “adsorbs” other contaminates. Next, heavy metals ions (mineral molecules) are extracted through an Ion exchange process where they are essentially electrically bonded to the media. Finally, our filter elements are designed such that each water molecule can take several minutes to pass through the filter elements whereas these molecules passing through other filtration systems pass through those filters in literally microseconds. The longer the water molecules are in contact with any media, the greater the removal of the various contaminates. Black Berkey Purification Elements are more powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. The micro-pores within the cleanable Black Berkey purification elements are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them. Black Berkey purification elements are so powerful, they can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this performance. The powerful Black Berkey purification elements also remove or reduce viruses, pathogenic cysts, parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, cloudiness, trihalomethanes, silt, sediment, heavy metals, foul tastes and odors, yet they leave in the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs and…. Because Black Berkey purification elements fit most gravity flters, existing gravity filtration systems can be upgraded. This vastly improves their ability to remove unwanted contaminates.

Step 1: Test your water. EWG only shows you local data, not the water quality necessarily coming out of YOUR tap. Test your water, then match a filtration system to what you find. Water quality varies. It's not as bad as you might think.
Beware RO storage tanks. Dr. Mercola has cut open older tanks and was blown away with what they found in them. He suggest to give the tank to someone that you don't like.
This is an ad, guys, he’s trying to make you feel fear, and then presenting you with the “solution” to that fear. The vast majority of tap water in the US is perfectly safe to drink. Your municipal water utility tests the water constantly for all kinds of bad stuff. Stories like Flint, MI break headlines because of how rare it is. Don’t buy a water filter just because someone on the internet made a claim without backing it up. Reach out to your town’s water utility if you have questions about water quality, stay safe, use your head!
Not rare, ignorance is bliss tho :-) micro plastics, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals… people are getting sick everywhere from water, obviously in diff. rates due to location, environment, money/resources… Flint Michigan is a big name but the truth is that if we all knew/ cared about what we’re putting in our organs they wouldn’t be alone in their crisis. If it’s not for you, fine. And yea his job is to sell products, but it’s clear his motivation is to promote health-promoting products specifically. If it’s not concerning to you, that’s fine! But “fear marketing”? Nah. It’s just actually frightful if you know what’s in your water and how it affects your organs over time. Check out your area: www.ewg.org/tapwater/
He’s findings is great - not going to lie But if you want to lose your sanity follow every one of his steps. The average person doesn’t have the time or the money to go through all of these.
Or you move to a country where the tab water is actual of better quality than the water you can buy in the supermarket. Germany: "The tap water is so good that it matches or beats mineral water in terms of safety and often taste. In multiple blind-tests, various mineral water (still and sparkling) were tested against normal and carbonated tap water. Tap water came out at the top or equal to the mineral waters. See links for 3 of the blind tests below."
that's fine, but the same thing goes with food, it's not the same as it was 20 years ago. They are sticking all kinds of hidden chemicals in our water and food these days, which causes so much inflammation in our systems.
We distill then add mineral drops to all of our consumable water. Yes, it takes time. Yes, it is slow. No, my shower water isn't distilled. But, you should see the black and white sludge in the bottom of the distiller after 3-4 runs.
I'm 61 years old and have been drinking tap water my whole life (1/2 gal per day for the last 20 years). Like most people my age, I also drank water out of the hose growing up. May be too late for me. 😆
Well if you’re completely healthy there’s nothing to worry about, and just goes to show how bogus some of these online health “experts” like Bobby, Paul Saladino, Santa Cruz Medicinals, Organic Jaguar, etc. can be.

Unfortunately reverse osmosis does not completely remove everything. I have a distiller here at home and that is the purest form of water you can drink. I’ve had mine for years and it’s only gone up in value since then. You can add back some minerals as preferred.
The rate of cancer in America jumped up 3x as high in 2021 than it was the previous several years before. I'm sure it's related to a certain shot the government has been pushing, but it's also because of the microplastics and the chemicals in our water and food. Your comment is irrelevant.

From my standpoint, that's a lot of people to clamor for what the US uses for a transportation system for their shit and piss.
Just a reminder that berkey requires 2 filters (2 filters are needed so the filter speed is adequate) for $166 and two additional filters for fluoride (fluoride can knock you out of ketosis and damage organs in large doses). Alexapro requires 2 filters but no additional filters for fluoride. Both system filters last like 5 to 7 years usually. A pitcher from pro one (not pur) also works just as well for fluoride
Yes tap water is bad at least in my state and I had the under counter three stage R/O filter system but my water was never as clean as just using a Zero water filter system. I ditched the bulky under counter system that was more costly to replace the filters and I now drink and cook with Zero water which I can monitor and maintain a zero reading and I love it.
I got the Aquatru due to your suggestion Bobby and it is the best tasting water ever! Yes, you do have to refill but it is worth it. They were offering $150 too! No more lugging water jugs and better for the environment. Love it.

I got reverse osmosis put in when I moved to my location because there is toxic gen x chemicals in the tap water here. I didn't realize you could add minerals. I started drinking mineral water because I'm worried about not getting enough with the reverse osmosis.
Not for most people it isn’t here. On this channel, we are in a social bubble. Theres a big world of tap water drinkers outside the sphere. Even worse, you tell them its bad for you, you tell them there are heavy metals and contraceptive chemicals in the water and they cannot accept the facts and ignore you. Common sense is not common as Muck would say…
Yeah, the Berkey is the more common and well publicized, however it does not work for "surface water". When the power goes out and your not getting any "tap water"..... A filter called "Alexapure" cleans surface water. From a lake, river, creek......it looks like a Berkey, and THAT'S where the similarities end. And of course tap water, when its avialable. It cost a little more than a Berkey and its so worth it. In my humble opinion anyway.
I can't afford an expensive filter. I would love to be able to. Goes back to the same old story, poor people die due to not being wealthy enough to live. Thank you for the info. I was aware but good to know how to check.
Sure there’s a high upfront cost but it pays out. A big berkey is 2.25 gallons and comes with two black filters for $400. Each filter lasts 3000 gallons so for $400 dollars you get 6000 gallons which comes out to 6-7cents/gallon, which if you used 6 gallons a day would last you over three years and then you can buy new filters at $175/pair! It’s not that expensive and you can also use it with boil water advisories etc. if you save a little over a dollar a day. You can have one this time next year….
I requested a report from my local water company and what came back was atrocious! There were EXTREMELY high levels of radiation, fluoride, antidepressants, and opiates. All of which were above the legal limit but the water company neglected to inform consumers.
Undercounter filters waste 5 gallons for every 1 gallon of filtered water produced. AquaTru wastes 1/4 gallon for every 1 gallon of filtered water produced. As others have said, Berkey's advertized purity doesn't match lab tests, hense the law suits. Clearly Filtered makes the best pitcher style filter, as well as undercounter and water bottles. Ain't cheap, but they test the best.
Step 1: be rich
My daughters are not rich by any stretch and one has the same setup he does and the other has a Berky.
For some reason thats always step 1 :'(
Imagine think a $150 water filter is "be rich".

We just got told we have forever chemicals in my town & they're giving out free filters and bottled water now. It's become so bad they can't keep up with the demand of the free items and turns out, they knew about this for quite awhile now and only recently decided to start doing something about it. I encourage everyone to look up your city/village's water quality reports for yourself just in case.
Where do you live?
Pretty much every in America. They just won’t tell you about it. The main pipes created in America were all lead pipes, plus all the pollution from the early 1900s with the “forever chemicals”.
I’ve never trusted the Gov so I’ve never drank or cooked with tap water since i became an adult i’m 44. Cause deep down I’ve always known if something went wrong with the water. They probably wouldn’t tell the public until they had to plus my apt is old so I know the pipes are old, but im tired of carrying heavy waters every week. I’ve been for some years looking for an alternative and was gonna buy the berkey. Cause systems like this post are so expensive to buy and keep up with. The berkey the military uses but now they are saying it’s bad so there’s that. All my family and friends have made fun of me and given me shit for not using tap water at all. When they would see me only use filter water to cook they always would say you are so wasteful. I bet if they found out how bad the water is they would not look at me weird anymore. I want to also filter the shower water wish I could have afforded all this years ago but is what it is. It’s sad that poor ppl don’t have access to good medical, dental or water and food. How sad that only ppl with money can afford the basics of life that keep a person in good health. I’m narrowing down what I’m going to buy for the kitchen and to filter my shower.
Bottled waters aren’t any good either
Microplastics and forever chemicals are leaked into bottled water too! Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Just live!
Im from calgary, Canada and our tap water is amazing. One of the best in the world.
Trust the government.
What could possibly go wrong?
There's places in the US that have some of the best tap water as well
Some places are blessed to have that. Most places aren’t in that position unfortunately. Also, make sure they’re not adding anything to the water if that’s the case. That happens more often than most realize.
This didn’t age well

No berkey. A lady here in Ireland sent her water from berkey to be tested. Berkey has good marketing but nothing to back up their claims. The water results came back with awful high readings of aluminium and the others were doubled too.
You can just buy a simple $30 PPM meter and see how much is being filtered out. My 5 stage reverse osmosis system will turn my 250ppm tap water into 7ppm. That's basically pure water.

remember that bottled water (not including spring-sourced) is regulated MUCH LESS than municipal tap water. The quality of municipal tap water is checked multiple times daily. Tap water quality is also very subjective to where you live. Tap water isn’t evil
Got to be careful because regardless of those tests or not it means nothing after it leaves there and actually goes threw your part of the pipes and depending on the pipes and how old they are in your house. Which no amount of regulations outside your house can detect
@@RobBrightBeast that's what water testing is for. Everyone has that ability, most don't realize how easy it is. I recommend not doing the free testing because the information is for them, not you.
@@RobBrightBeast the tests are pulled from peoples hose faucets at random addresses all across the city… so it is testing the water that is specifically coming out of the faucet. I know this because I’m a certified water operator and I pull these samples every week.

@@oherroprease207oh this is interesting....didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. Can I ask what you think the city adding fluoride to water?

This is alarmist and categorically false. It highly depends on where you live. People should be encouraged to drink water even if it’s from their tap. I know, shocker right?
Where I live, I know the guy in charge of water dept- tests it and knows what's in it. He said NEVER drink it here. So....depends on where you live.
The water where I have lived leaves a stain in my bowl. The only time that didn't happen was when I visited Guyana. The places I have lived and had filthy water were Daytona Florida, Philadelphia, Delaware County, Claymont DE and Ocean City NJ.

Your drinking water quality depends on the geology of where you live, the treatment steps your area takes (if public), and pollutant inputs into your environment/groundwater/surface waters - while many people do have concerning levels of life-altering contaminants such as lead in their water many do not. Most drinking water treatment facilities release contaminant reports publicly and you’ll find most of the time that the plain tap water is very safe to drink and does not require this expensive extra step that may not actually do a whole lot
filter has plastic… avoid one small risk but exposed to another small risk…
Even the tap water comes thru pipeline made of plastic so now ehat we should do
Drink water from pond full of parasites
It’s only passed through plastic for a short period of time, and the last filter also filters out micro plastics, aslong as your not drinking hot water your fine
You pipes are also plastic can't get away from it
Much like most of the things he says in his videos, there's just not enough science backing the alkaline water health claims. It's a gimmick for you to spend money on filtration systems. Tap water being bad is possible, but the only way to really tell is to have your home water tested. Again, FlavCity, it'd be nice if you provided ANY sources for the health claims you make in your videos.
Moral of the story: Everything is bad for you

@@randybobandy9828 was on holiday in florida and the tap/shower water STINKS of chlorine.
@bruce peterson it onto chlorine.. it's chlorimine and it's there for obvious reasons. It isn't harmful and some areas(especially in wa tropical places) need to treat their tap water in order for it to be safe from pathogens. That isn't what this video is even about.. it's about filtering out heavy metals. I didn't say all tap water tasted good, I said it's completely safe and harmless to drink.
@@randybobandy9828 Scottish tap water is treated too but tastes nothing like florida water, well couldn't tell you the taste but it did stick.
@bruce peterson treated with what though? Some places need more clorimine then others. Protip: if your water taste like chlorine(clorimine) just fill your cup or pitcher and let it sit out for a few hours without a lid on and the chlormine will evaporate out of the water and it wont have that taste anymore. . Chlorine doesn't do that.

Sure, I’m some areas of the US the drinking water can have high heavy metal contamination. However, the realities of this are that most of the drinking water supply is fine. Get your blood tested for heavy metals and you’ll see that they are within a very safe level. Since everything has trace heavy metals that naturally occur in some amount in soils, they show up in our food too. Our bodies can naturally get rid of most of these. But, you do you.
Yes I’m in Georgia, just moved into an apartment and was wondering why my stomach was bothering me. I found out it was the tap water. I started buying bottled water and the stomach issues are gone.
Tap water in GA, especially anywhere in metro ATL is liquid garbage
Make sure you get Aquafina or Dasani because they don't have fluoride.
Omg same here. My bladder as well.
Actually tap water is very safe because it’s highly regulated. Yes, some of the limits for metals and pollutants haven’t been updated in a while which need to be updated to modern standards but tap water overall is very safe for most people
Not true, kiddo. Not highly regulated. If this were so, you wouldn’t have the Flint Michigan and other cities in the news recently with high levels of (lead) & other toxic chemicals found in their tap water. This doesn’t sound like highly regulated to me. Each municipality is different. There are high levels of chlorine and chloramines in our water here in Florida. Drinking chlorine destroys gut health and leads to unhealthy gut microbiome. There are unsafe levels of toxic chemicals in our local water. My sister in Illinois has toxic water for her town. No one drinks the water there. You might do more research. Kindly, j.
@@johnjohng668 Kiddo? Well sure some places are neglected when it comes to tap water quality but it’s still highly regulated. My tap water quality here in upstate NY is some of the best in the country. And places like flint Michigan are not due to poor water quality from the source but rather old lead pipes that need replacing. Once they were replaced, tap quality is massively better. Most places in the country have decent water quality

Also if you look at heavy metals are in water you might think it's bad but even if it's 100 ppm it's literally so low that you have to use a super sensitive tester to read it.

Used Berkey since 2019. I highly recommend the Berkey System.
It's just a carbon filter..
@@TheSwissCheese87the Berkey System is “just a carbon filter”…
The elements are composed of a formulation of more than a half dozen different media types constructed into a very fine matrix creating millions of micro-fine pores. The pores are so small that pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, sediment and sedimentary minerals are not able to pass through them. The media formulation both “absorbs” some contaminates and “adsorbs” other contaminates. Next, heavy metals ions (mineral molecules) are extracted through an Ion exchange process where they are essentially electrically bonded to the media. Finally, our filter elements are designed such that each water molecule can take several minutes to pass through the filter elements whereas these molecules passing through other filtration systems pass through those filters in literally microseconds. The longer the water molecules are in contact with any media, the greater the removal of the various contaminates.
Black Berkey Purification Elements are more powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. The micro-pores within the cleanable Black Berkey purification elements are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them.
Black Berkey purification elements are so powerful, they can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this performance.
The powerful Black Berkey purification elements also remove or reduce viruses, pathogenic cysts, parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, cloudiness, trihalomethanes, silt, sediment, heavy metals, foul tastes and odors, yet they leave in the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs and….
Because Black Berkey purification elements fit most gravity flters, existing gravity filtration systems can be upgraded. This vastly improves their ability to remove unwanted contaminates.

I really wish I could afford all the food etc. products you recommend. I’d love to see you add best alternative choice for us poor people. I’ve seen Dave’a bread…but it’s very expensive like all your recommendations.
You don't need to swap out the things that work for you for those expensive products je pushes in his videos. Wheat is fine, cane sugar is fine, canola oil is fine, as long as you don't have an allergy/intolerance to it you can enjoy those things with no issue. He scares and makes people feel guilty with his claims but what he says has been debunked so many times.
You can get an RO system for like 300 bucks some even cheaper and install it yourself.
@@myriammo5960 canola is not fine. The other things are fine in moderation.
@@myriammo5960 this is categorically false. Sugar is fine? Consult your doctor on that one. Canola? Processed with chemical Hexane, highly inflammatory. Fine? Wheat saturated with high levels of glyphosate weedkiller is fine too;) sorry. I have 30 years research behind me. You won’t sell me on your position. But thank you 😊
Step 1: Test your water. EWG only shows you local data, not the water quality necessarily coming out of YOUR tap.
Test your water, then match a filtration system to what you find.
Water quality varies. It's not as bad as you might think.
Beware RO storage tanks. Dr. Mercola has cut open older tanks and was blown away with what they found in them. He suggest to give the tank to someone that you don't like.
i change them out, they cost about $40. But good call
Care to elaborate?
You cannot store RO filtered water in a tank without using some post-treatment disinfection method. Great way to grow pathogens, if you don’t.
🤦♀️😂😂
Can you explain further?
When I watch your videos i'm glad to live on Europe.
Saaaavvveeee meeeee I'll sleep in a cupboard or something and I'll be the best pet-American ever, promise!

Fear fear ….marketing marketing…..buy buy …. I make money …..yippeee!!!!
Thats why you are a bot and you drink nuerotoxic tap water
Well, i personally don't care about my water being healthy, but it even tastes much much better, without any weird taste
You sure?
Studies don’t lie. At the end of the day it’s your health. But this is important info so people can take control of what goes into their bodies.
@@Tierrittaa he provides no sources. Like none ever.
As humans we should demand access to healthy tap water. No matter what it takes. All humans need quality water to survive.
The big Berkey is excellent. Been using it for years. It’s cheaper.
Over 12 months The filters breed bacteria
How much?
And link?
This is an ad, guys, he’s trying to make you feel fear, and then presenting you with the “solution” to that fear.
The vast majority of tap water in the US is perfectly safe to drink. Your municipal water utility tests the water constantly for all kinds of bad stuff. Stories like Flint, MI break headlines because of how rare it is.
Don’t buy a water filter just because someone on the internet made a claim without backing it up. Reach out to your town’s water utility if you have questions about water quality, stay safe, use your head!
Not rare, ignorance is bliss tho :-) micro plastics, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals… people are getting sick everywhere from water, obviously in diff. rates due to location, environment, money/resources… Flint Michigan is a big name but the truth is that if we all knew/ cared about what we’re putting in our organs they wouldn’t be alone in their crisis. If it’s not for you, fine. And yea his job is to sell products, but it’s clear his motivation is to promote health-promoting products specifically. If it’s not concerning to you, that’s fine! But “fear marketing”? Nah. It’s just actually frightful if you know what’s in your water and how it affects your organs over time. Check out your area: www.ewg.org/tapwater/
He’s findings is great - not going to lie
But if you want to lose your sanity follow every one of his steps.
The average person doesn’t have the time or the money to go through all of these.
I literally haven't drank from tap in 🤔 at least 10 years.
Same
Or you move to a country where the tab water is actual of better quality than the water you can buy in the supermarket.
Germany:
"The tap water is so good that it matches or beats mineral water in terms of safety and often taste. In multiple blind-tests, various mineral water (still and sparkling) were tested against normal and carbonated tap water. Tap water came out at the top or equal to the mineral waters. See links for 3 of the blind tests below."
Bobby! Which under sink reverse osmosis do u use? I’m moving in to a new home next month and been looking at water filter system
Mercola has a whole house filter that's great.
@@my3bassetgirls777got a link?
With the severe drought in the southwest, I'm worried about the availability of ANY water at this point.
Dude, I used to drink from the garden hose as a kid. 😎
that's fine, but the same thing goes with food, it's not the same as it was 20 years ago. They are sticking all kinds of hidden chemicals in our water and food these days, which causes so much inflammation in our systems.
Yep, we lived on the wild side back then
That's because the government gets rich when you get sick yo
We distill then add mineral drops to all of our consumable water. Yes, it takes time. Yes, it is slow. No, my shower water isn't distilled. But, you should see the black and white sludge in the bottom of the distiller after 3-4 runs.
Shaky, you can get an amazing shower filter from Enagic. I can send you info if you are interested
I'm 61 years old and have been drinking tap water my whole life (1/2 gal per day for the last 20 years). Like most people my age, I also drank water out of the hose growing up. May be too late for me. 😆
Genetics.
@@johnjohng668 or just common sense understanding that tap water is not going to f****** kill you
Well if you’re completely healthy there’s nothing to worry about, and just goes to show how bogus some of these online health “experts” like Bobby, Paul Saladino, Santa Cruz Medicinals, Organic Jaguar, etc. can be. It’s fucking water… unless you’re living in a 3rd world country it’s safe to drink, quit complaining and be grateful that you have freshwater to drink in the first place.
So right. Why would I pay $0.01 a gallon for clean safe municipal tap water when I can spend thousands on filtration systems and filters 😅
We love the Berkey the best. I have a whole house water system, my refrigerator has a filter but then we use the Berkey as well.
I want one too.
Me drinking water from the hose on the farm: 👁️👄👁️
For real though I drink tap water and I'm doing pretty good. Everyone's water is different, I live in the mountains and it's really good compared to the city I used to live in.
everything about this guy screams "I don't know much about much " but he stillf keeps popping on my feed for no reason at all. a true inspiration.
keep at it kids and some day you can talk about things you barely understand for views and money.
what a time to be alive.
😆 thanks, alkaline water + stomach acids= wasted money
Just click the dots and click the "don't show me stuff from this channel"
Well i mean when has anyone known anything😂😂😂
I don't think you understand the harm that heavy metal riddled water causes. Drinking water that contains a host of toxic heavy metals can cause cancer, skeletal weakness, neurological problems, high blood pressure, seizures, acne etc. Unless you are fine with damaging your health, you shouldn't be drinking tap water.

I stopped drinking tap water when my fish went gay.
Absolutely 👏 thank you for your knowledge on this subject. It's very important especially with children & their developing brain. We have a Berkey & our children only drink Fiji water bc it's great for detoxing metals. But I definitely want to splurge on one under all our sinks. Thanks for sharing this!
This is why I’m glad I live in the country… can’t beat clean natural well water
Me watching this while smoking a blunt in my bathroom sitting on the counter refilling my glass of tap water in the bathroom sink💀😂 if tap water ain’t killed me it ain’t Finna kill you foo
💯
Its not killing you..... its making you stupid. Just like how you couldn't comprehend what he said. He never even mentioned what dirty tap water does to your brain. But you do you. These videos aren't geared to your type.
This entire channel is watching how someone can slowly convince themselves that everything is killing them.
@@KBEARallday my city's water has neurotoxins... Better to filter those out.
🤣
Unfortunately reverse osmosis does not completely remove everything. I have a distiller here at home and that is the purest form of water you can drink. I’ve had mine for years and it’s only gone up in value since then. You can add back some minerals as preferred.
you shouldnt drink completely pure water that has no minerals
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is literally DYING to get the fresh water we use to flush our toilets with. We love ya Bobby, but...
The rate of cancer in America jumped up 3x as high in 2021 than it was the previous several years before. I'm sure it's related to a certain shot the government has been pushing, but it's also because of the microplastics and the chemicals in our water and food. Your comment is irrelevant.
But what?... He shouldn't do what's best for him and his family and just be happy drinking toilet water? Do you drink toilet water? Or are you just trying to make him feel bad for taking advantage of the opportunity he's fortunate enough to have? How does virtue signaling and petty guilting help those other people less fortunate?... Eat butt Billy.
Define "rest of the world."
@@leonfrancis3418 seriosly? Most of population is poor or not wealthy enough to aford this system.
@@leonfrancis3418 according to www.cdc.gov/healthywater/global/wash_statistics.html About 3 billion people worldwide lack adequate facilities to safely wash their hands at home. From my standpoint, that's a lot of people to clamor for what the US uses for a transportation system for their shit and piss.
Just a reminder that berkey requires 2 filters (2 filters are needed so the filter speed is adequate) for $166 and two additional filters for fluoride (fluoride can knock you out of ketosis and damage organs in large doses). Alexapro requires 2 filters but no additional filters for fluoride. Both system filters last like 5 to 7 years usually.
A pitcher from pro one (not pur) also works just as well for fluoride
Where did you get that under cabinet lighting? Wow it’s nice!
Yes tap water is bad at least in my state and I had the under counter three stage R/O filter system but my water was never as clean as just using a Zero water filter system. I ditched the bulky under counter system that was more costly to replace the filters and I now drink and cook with Zero water which I can monitor and maintain a zero reading and I love it.
Does this still work if I live in Flint, MI?
The quality of water actually varies not just from state to state but city to city.
I got the Aquatru due to your suggestion Bobby and it is the best tasting water ever! Yes, you do have to refill but it is worth it. They were offering $150 too! No more lugging water jugs and better for the environment. Love it.
Listening to this makes me glad that I am German and that we have standards. Tap water quality is one of the most thoroughly controlled things in Germany...
What specific color are you blue cabinets? It's such a gorgeous color! Thanks!
Well that is just your USA Problems, here in Germany all Tap Water does fullfill high standards.
I can barley pay my monthly water bill, I'll b damned if I'm gonna buy anything else.
Then don’t do it. He’s not pointing a gun to your head.
Berkey leaks aluminum into your water.
Right that’s what ive been saying lol
His OCD must make him really fun at parties.
My friend. I don’t believe its OCD, its common sense.
@@RandomVidzzz888 common sense? To what very padantic and think everything that isnt benefiting your body is killing it? Most peoples tap water isnt toxic lmao.
@@randybobandy9828 I believe you are right, not everyones tap water is toxic. However, that may be okay for people in the Austrian Alps, or the Scottish highlands, it will not be the same for those living in the cities. London’s water smells for example.
@@RandomVidzzz888 people in the Austrian alpes or Scottish highlands don't have tap water..they have well water. Why do you think most tap water is bad?
@@RandomVidzzz888 there's nothing "common" about his derision. Some of what he points out is true, but he's overly critical about a lot of things, such as tap water.
The 3-stage filter system wastes a lot of water. Unless you can divert the “waste” water to water plants outside or as toilet flushing water, then it would be an ecological option.
Don’t ever use tap water ever
I drink 50-100oz of tap water every day. I’m still alive AND I didn’t have to buy an expensive water filter…
Been drinking my whole life and I have no health conditions.
The water in Australia is pretty clean, also reverse osmosis water has downsides including less minerals which can lead to serious health issues.
The water we drink in the US is better than what millions of people around the world have access to, even unfiltered.
Flint, MI has entered the chat.
@@CapCrunch45 sadly you’re right! I’d say that the majority of our water is better though than lots and lots of people around the world.
True but I still would want the best water I can have.
I can’t believe people are skeptical about being healthy. Being healthy minimises so much suffering?? But I guess it’s “too hard”.
I’ve never seen someone so out of touch lmao he just sounds arrogant at this point.
I'm a supportive follower and take your advise.
I'm a bit conflicted now as you promote R/O water with "artificial/added" minerals and chemically enhanced water for alkalinity.
Why are people knocking on Bobby. We know good stuff are expensive but he is GIVING VALUABLE INFORMATION ON PROTECTING YOUR HEALTH. So just do what u can. Don't be a hater.
I got reverse osmosis put in when I moved to my location because there is toxic gen x chemicals in the tap water here. I didn't realize you could add minerals. I started drinking mineral water because I'm worried about not getting enough with the reverse osmosis.
They used to call it a conspiracy. Now it's just the common viewpoint.
Not for most people it isn’t here. On this channel, we are in a social bubble. Theres a big world of tap water drinkers outside the sphere. Even worse, you tell them its bad for you, you tell them there are heavy metals and contraceptive chemicals in the water and they cannot accept the facts and ignore you. Common sense is not common as Muck would say…
@@RandomVidzzz888 True.
Yeah, the Berkey is the more common and well publicized, however it does not work for "surface water". When the power goes out and your not getting any "tap water"..... A filter called "Alexapure" cleans surface water. From a lake, river, creek......it looks like a Berkey, and THAT'S where the similarities end. And of course tap water, when its avialable.
It cost a little more than a Berkey and its so worth it. In my humble opinion anyway.
The water sucks! Unbelievable what they deem “safe”. So grateful to have a reverse osmosis system. A great investment.
What’s crazy is, it’s a spring by me they say not to drink that water because it’s not “safe” but it’s cleaner than the city water lmao 🤣
What water socks? Tap water isnt the same everywhere... you do know that right?
Alkaline water could throw off your pH and cause a significant health event.
I can't afford an expensive filter. I would love to be able to. Goes back to the same old story, poor people die due to not being wealthy enough to live. Thank you for the info. I was aware but good to know how to check.
Sure there’s a high upfront cost but it pays out.
A big berkey is 2.25 gallons and comes with two black filters for $400. Each filter lasts 3000 gallons so for $400 dollars you get 6000 gallons which comes out to 6-7cents/gallon, which if you used 6 gallons a day would last you over three years and then you can buy new filters at $175/pair!
It’s not that expensive and you can also use it with boil water advisories etc.
if you save a little over a dollar a day. You can have one this time next year….
I requested a report from my local water company and what came back was atrocious! There were EXTREMELY high levels of radiation, fluoride, antidepressants, and opiates. All of which were above the legal limit but the water company neglected to inform consumers.
Zerowater is the best... Project Farm has a TH-cam video on the best water filters.
Project farm the only guy I trust
You literally cannot get any better than an RO system...
Undercounter filters waste 5 gallons for every 1 gallon of filtered water produced. AquaTru wastes 1/4 gallon for every 1 gallon of filtered water produced.
As others have said, Berkey's advertized purity doesn't match lab tests, hense the law suits.
Clearly Filtered makes the best pitcher style filter, as well as undercounter and water bottles. Ain't cheap, but they test the best.
Aquatru doesn’t filter out fluoride completely
WOW ok you know your stuff Bobby you win again great many thanks
