Sawyer tap filters remove 100% of microplastics (which I'm really hoping is legit!). They fit right on your tap and other than looking a bit funny work great. Just replaced my Brita filter with one a few weeks ago.

Quoting as 100% effective is a good indicator of bullshit in any scenario

Well also that tap water filters are usually a giant plastic contaminant themselves.

What makes its limitation 500 gallons "per day"?

Plastic-digesting microbes.

I am a plastic digesting mega organism apparently!

You're not digesting it; it's slowly disrupting all your systems.

Best filter is to not have them in the first place

Pretty soon drinking water is going to have to go through a centrifuge first haha.
