Ha! Good idea!
But nowadays I go and refill my 5 gal bottles at a machine. It gives me an excuse to visit the maunapua shop nearby. :rofl:
It supports local businesses.

A ways back I was stationed at Fort Hood in some old barracks.  The tap water had a strange bitter metal taste to it.  I installed the small brita water faucet filters and it got rid of the taste.  Later I learned that's what copper tastes like.  Or it could've been DDT, agent orange, or something else for all I know.

About 30 years ago there was a scare in the Waipahu-Kunia area about the water quality due to pesticides.
The report was that there was a high rate of birth defects and retarded kids.
There were guys in hazmat suits taking samples at the park while kids were playing in the background. LOL
That's when I started getting menehune water.

I got the big berkey and a decent supply of backup filters

Biden's EPA went after them using some crazy legal justification so that must mean they actually work

I have been watching him for years now and I know what you mean. I really appreciate how scientific he is in most of his tests. He designs interesting contraptions to make sure that tests are repeated with consistent amounts of pressure, voltage, speed, etc.

I revisited the video and couldn't tolerate the way they speed up the video so it sounds like the speaker NEVER pauses to breath. Ie...the guy is cranking on meth.  :rofl:
