Reply #36: How odd...I noticed the 'filter your own' water machine [View All]

[Norquist Nemesis]

at the grocery store yesterday. I don't normally pay attention at that section, but for some reason it caught my eye. For 49cents, you can run your own water through for filtering.

I commented to my husband that it's probably a scam. How does one actually know that the filter is in good order, or that there a filter even exists in the machine? He said he thought what it was worse that by having such machines implies you should filter your drinking water...that tap water is bad for you. He also said he remembered years ago going with his dad to fill up jugs and joking to him that it was probably coming from a water pipe off the street! LOL! Guess he was right about that.
