Reply to comment by StreetPen in DC Water Test Results Lead Levels? by legalhandcannon

Related to this; has anyone ever tried the in line water filters that can be bought on Amazon? Like the Waterdrop brand ones.

I’ve had this APEC one about 3 years now and I’m very happy with it

Edit: I think when I looked at waterdrop their certifications were a little sus.

Got an under sink Aquasana brand filter and it’s great. Makes a big difference in reducing the chlorine taste in the spring when they flush the system.

We got a Frizzlife Water Filter about 8 months ago. Easy install, and when I changed the filter out in September, it was easy to do. Plus saved a lot from the britas we were using.

We also did replace the lead pipes from the street to the house last month. Cost 100.00/foot or 1350 for us , plus another 350.00 for drywall repair. We were without water for two hours, and they capped off a pipe in our front patio as well. Removing a tripping hazard.

We got notified that by DC water that we had lead pipes too. Who did you choose from the list? Assuming you used the LPRAP program, that is.

S&J was who the city recommended to us. They were great.

I have an under sink filter. Took about ten minutes to install, lasts 4-6 months, doesn’t take up counter or fridge space.

Highly recommend it.
