In reply to the discussion: US Lowers Fluoride In Water; Too Much Causing Splotchy Teeth [View all]CountAllVotes
(20,890 posts)62. I had my water delivered
There are lead pipes in a lot of those old buildings in S.F., including the ones I lived in. The last place I lived was so bad that the person living upstairs from me developed lead poisoning from the lead in the water. Of course the tight wad landlords weren't about to fix this problem, hence the reason I avoided the fluoride while living in San Francisco.
It was expensive as hell but what pray tell can one do about such a condition other than move? Having drinking/cooking water delivered every week was a far cheaper/healthier option rather than drinking the poisonous water coming out of the faucet.

The 5-10 micron filter you mention is 5-10 thousand nanometers. RO works at the 0.1 nm scale

The people that are overly reacting are the woo mongers who are jumping up and down saying "See!!1!"
