The New York Times Dining In/Dining Out section this week had a fascinating article by Marian Burros, one of their best writers, with a companion piece by Lawrence Downes, about making homemade seltzers and sodas. The article points out that many people prefer to drink their water carbonated and that this, like bottled water, leads to concerns about materials being wasted and recycling issues. Burros and Downes investigated home-carbonation systems and found them very impressive. Waterfilters.net staff and consultants also found this intriguing, and wanted to pass the word on to readers.
The article points out that while the EPA does test water to a considerably higher degree than most water bottling companies, many of us still should be concerned about lead in tap water that comes from corroding pipes in the water delivery infrastructure. Waterfilters.net offers many water filters that remove lead from drinking water, and in the name of good health and enjoyable dining and drinking experiences, we urge readers to investigate these filters and – for those who can’t get enough fizzy stuff – enjoy reading and considering making their own carbonated drinks!
