Oh boy I sure do love plastic with my water.
Realistically though, is there any way to really filter out these?
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.
