No, get a reverse osmosis system with remineralization filter.

I am not a Chemist - what do you suggest as a good plug-and-play water filtering system for a normal US apartment?

hellweaver666 Jan 10, 2024 View on HN

you can get home filter systems (either manual jug style or plumbed in) that can deal with most of these problems.

can anyone confirm whether consumer grade filters like Brita help filtering these things out?

A 150 USD RO/DI filter can remove all of this stuff. Black, white, poka dot. Buy one and run your drinking water through it. Also comes in handy when the water goes out. You can turn off from the mains and have clean water. Also pure enough to use in your radiator or water your venus fly trap! Highly recommend.

Decent reason to have additional water filtration for drinking water.

I don't understand. Is that something that a Brita-like filter can't fix?

Is this something a reverse-osmosis system can filter out at home?
