DIY triumph! I researched filters for bathroom faucets a while back. The popular skincare ones turn out to filter almost nothing. Best option I found was by PUR, with good third party testing.
I just installed it on my bathroom sink. I can now wash my face and hands and brush my teeth with vastly less toxic water.
Filters last 3 months. I'll be stocking up now that I know the unit fits my faucet.
I am delighted all around.

If you need a bathroom or kitchen faucet water filter, I found this helpful chart while doing product research tonight.
(Yes, whole house is much better, but I'm a renter, and they are not in everyone's budgets either.)
If you have other similar, relevant info to share, I'd appreciate it.

Interesting study: How much chromium, copper, zinc, and cadmium can be removed from water by making a cup of tea?
Northwestern University, 2025-02-24: Brewing tea removes lead from waterIn a new study, Northwestern University researchers demonstrated that brewing tea naturally adsorbs heavy metals like lead and cadmium, effectively filtering dangerous contaminants out of drinks. Heavy metal ions stick to, or adsorb to, the surface of the tea leaves, where they stay trapped. ...
“I’m not sure that there’s anything uniquely remarkable about tea leaves as a material,” said Benjamin Shindel, the study’s first author. “They have a high active surface area, which is a useful property for an adsorbent material and what makes tea leaves good at releasing flavor chemicals rapidly into your water. But what is special is that tea happens to be the most consumed beverage in the world. You could crush up all kinds of materials to get a similar metal-remediating effect, but that wouldn’t necessarily be practical. With tea, people don’t need to do anything extra. Just put the leaves in your water and steep them, and they naturally remove metals.”...

6 Things You Won't Believe Still Run #WindowsXP
By Sydney Butler
Published Jul 20, 2024"Industrial control systems operate and monitor large systems like #NuclearPower plants, automated production lines, #WaterPurification plants, and so on. Windows XP might still be used in some of these large systems for a few reasons. For one, many of these systems can't be taken offline for long, since they provide critical services or goods. There may also be a massive loss of income if they go offline to be updated. Especially given how there are likely to be bugs in new software and operating systems. It might also be necessary to replace perfectly working hardware to work with new software.
"Upgrade plans for major industrial systems can take years to plan and execute, and if everything is working just fine, there's little incentive to do it. Many of these systems aren't even connected to outside networks.
"This is why it was necessary to sneak #USBDrives into facilities to infect them with #malware like Stuxnet. This is a practice known as '#AirGapping' and if your system doesn't need to be online, it shouldn be seen as a basic security measure."

@Chrissy It's the taste that those tablets leave that it not appealing to most people. It is a last resort for me.
If you only need to purify on occasion one of those small Sawyer filters work well, because you can just screw it to a plastic drink bottle. Lifestraw bottles are also great & practical in that regard.
Also keep in mind that most water filters do not filter out viruses. That is where tablets come in useful.
In the end it is about knowing the condition & supply of water in the area you are going to, that can lead you to making an informed decision.

@rnzbot_nz
Do they have to use clean water in datacentres? Could they be built as water purification plants, with the heat from the servers used to drive the purification process?Or, how about running water though the datacentre cooling system, then into the heating system of a neighbouring operation? Say a hotel, or dairy factory. Whatever is nearby and uses a lot of hot water.
As #BillMollison said, the problem is the solution.

Better living through egg whites. It turns protein aerogels are very good at filtering water of micro plastic and other contaminants, even salt. It's not clear if you have to throw the gel away at the end of the day but if it's cheap and low impact to make maybe that's okay.

A new way to produce hydrogen and purify water at the same time has been discovered by researchers. The method uses a catalyst that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when powered by electricity. The hydrogen can be used as a clean fuel, while the oxygen can be removed to produce distilled water.

😳 The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
“Sampling from the input and output pipes confirmed that the purification system was stripping the acceptable input chlorine concentration of 2.5mg/L to 0mg/L in the output.“Researchers noted that the two machines had been fitted with commercial water purification systems that included a 5.0-micron carbon filter (designed to improve taste and remove odors) and an ultraviolet disinfection unit. Both carbon filters and ultraviolet light are known to decrease chlorine concentrations. “
