How safe is tap water to drink, lads? I live in Los Angeles and this is my only option right now...

Your sperghead is broken.

This. OP, you must purchase a Propur filtration system immediately to keep yourself healthy for the infowar.

Are you willing to pay somewhere in the range of $200-$600 for a reverse osmosis system? Do you know anything about filtration systems? Have you tested the water yet? Checked for total dissolved solids? What source are you pulling the water from?

You are in a first world country where tap water not being totally safe makes national headlines. Even if it smells a little sulphur-y youll be fine.

Sure, but that's going to be a pain in the ass to boil all of your drinking and cooking water.

Not really. The rest of the world has something called kettles. OP, just install water purification cartridges if you're so anal about it.

>ITT: spoiled first worlders get scared the TDS of their tap water goes from 40ppm to 60ppm

My word!

I hate you

I live in the UK in a light water area with natural mountain reservoirs and I still filter my water because I prefer the taste and I get more than enough minerals from the food anyway.

Never drink tap water
