Yup, not sure what sink you have in your dorm but 100% agree. I’ve used for years and it’s saved me SO much money not buying water bottles. LINK: Brita Basic Faucet Water Filter System, Chrome, 1 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004INTGKK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZCJ15RYCPW58PS2179KW
Brita faucet filter so you dont have to fill water into plastic which can leech even at room temperature. it also has a charcol filter so it filters out all the bpa's, phallates and chemicals, that are found most municipalities water supplies.
Another possibility, if you know you will have a tap in your room, is to get a filter that attaches to the tap directly, such as this one (not a recommendation, just from a quick search for "faucet filter" - there are many brands/models)
That would be limescale. It is fairly safe to drink it is just an indication of hard water. It may mean periodically decalcifying any appliances that you use that water in though (like a coffee machine). If it is just for drinking you can go purchase one of those filters that you install directly at the end of the tap. Example: Brita
32 dollars a month is my ENTIRE WATER BILL. 32 dollars isn't shit, the problem is you spent it for literally no reason, likely ontop of paying a normal water bill. That is the definition of wasteful, and since you can't understand that then I KNOW how you spend the rest of your money - stupidly, because I know tons of people just like you. But that's beside the point...
This fuckin thing AND extra filters would cost less than what you spent IN A MONTH on plastic fucking water jugs.
It's clean water, right in your fuckin sink, for less than you're wasting, while not yeeting 30 goddamn plastic jugs into a landfill each month.
That chick didn't have a problem with you buying water, she had a problem with you and the ridiculous way you waste money and pollute. And now, like her, I'm gonna go back to not even acknowledging your existence.
I used to have this on my faucet. It screws on and you flip the tab on the side to go between filtered vs non-filtered water. First thing that came to my mind but it would be very easy for her to change the tab on the side back to regular unfiltered water.
Welcome to CT!
It’s really good here, both Mass and CT has quite the requirement for clean water. Just try even walking off the path near a protected reservoir and you’ll have shining lights pulling up to you in minutes.
Chlorine is alright, it can be a little high but affects only taste
It makes your faucet like the fridge, except it flows much better. So its Easy to always have perfect water for soups, pets etc.
I've been using a Brita like this for several years and it works well for me. I normally fill a couple of gallon jugs with it to keep in the fridge. I remove it afterwords as I find it a bit bulky. I too live in an apartment where other options won't work.
