First, a shocking fact: Florida’s water comes from the Floridan Aquifer, which is basically a giant, ancient sponge made of limestone. That limestone gives us calcium and magnesium—great for bones, terrible for your coffee maker. It also gives us that lovely sulfur smell, technically hydrogen sulfide, which is the same gas that makes farts smell like… well, farts. Surprise! Your kitchen sink is a geological fart machine.
Also, thanks to our agricultural runoff and aging pipes, you might have chlorine, lead, or even trace pesticides in your glass. Not enough to hurt you instantly, but enough to make you wonder if your ancestors survived the wilderness just so you could drink pool water from a Brita pitcher. So, no, a $20 fridge filter won’t cut it here. We need a superhero system, not a sidekick.
