     @grey nice! I heard the claim that microwaves destroyed the nutritional profile of food, but never saw evidence for that claim

     @wizardmanperson @grey Same! I always thought it was more of a meme because people would say stuff like *food loses it's aura when microwaved*, which meant opinion Descartes from me. Kind of on point regarding not being too schizo if you want your ideas to be taken seriously. I use mine mostly to boil water or soften butter, but reading this makes me deebly goncerned.

     @BowsacNoodle @grey @wizardmanperson I'll still boil my water with it for my French press coffee / tea. I don't think I have to worry much about fucked up proteins and glucose in my RO filtered water :blobfoxthinksmart:

     @bronze @grey @wizardmanperson Yeah boiling water can't be a real big problem. I'm told an electric kettle is a better way to go though, since it's much faster and probably less energy usage.

     Do you normally heat up your left overs at 1000W for 5 min? This whole thing is p retarded, don’t take advice from the PPN.

     @grey @bronze @wizardmanperson We had a unit like that at an office complex that was free for everyone at any of the companies. I loved having ramen or tea on demand with near boiling water. Personally, I like the small electric kettles that heat up in like 3-4 minutes for a house.

     @wizardmanperson @BowsacNoodle @bronze @grey Easy enough really, you want a glass one with a stainless element cover and no electronics. The bimetallic cutoff works far better.

     @BowsacNoodle @bronze @grey true, but a lot of them have plastic components inside of it, that have direct contact with the water. Pick one carefully

     @IsraelDelendaEst @wizardmanperson @bronze @grey How do those instant hot water heaters work, and can I get one of those for boiling water or would it be nasty?

     @IsraelDelendaEst @wizardmanperson @bronze @grey I looked it up after asking, and people have had this discussion hundreds of times online. Instant hot water heaters can handle it, but you need the stainless steel type that don't get stripped by the extremely low dissolved solids, often acidic, water from RO. It's acidic because of dissolved carbonic acid which returns to solution under heat. So basically it's going to eat my heater alive and not worth it.

     @BowsacNoodle @wizardmanperson @bronze @grey That said I've got one around here somewhere but I've not used it for years. My go-to is a knockoff Jetboil and an adapter so I can refill the chubby little canisters with cheaper butane.

     @IsraelDelendaEst @wizardmanperson @bronze @grey I was told to pursue RO by a fella I know in the water biz. I wanted one for a while, and all the new gay chemicals make me think I have to get it sooner than later. I was not prepared for how many questions I’ve started to autistically uncover in the process.

     @BowsacNoodle @wizardmanperson @bronze @grey Depends on your environment. Here in the desert I've about got time to roll a cig and get comfy on a rock, it's probably going to suck at altitude in the cold.

     @grey @IsraelDelendaEst @wizardmanperson @bronze Which filters are needing replaced? My idea for my sanity and wallet is to first run an inline pre-filter I change annually. Something like pic rel which claims 12 months or 5k gallons. That would function similarly to the first filter in a 3-stage RO, I reckon. Maybe use one of those for the final stage of yours has a post filter as well. I can't speak for the brand of course, but you might be able to find a substitute tank and filter on ebay of all places.

     @BowsacNoodle @IsraelDelendaEst @wizardmanperson @bronze Is there a good RO system that isn't super expensive to replace filters in? I made the mistake of buying a chink thing off amazon years ago and can't get filters for it now.

     @BowsacNoodle @grey @wizardmanperson @bronze Might as well go for a cheap whole-house filter, less of an arsehole in the long run and it'll do all your pipework some good. Those things are for camper vans and the like, really.

     @IsraelDelendaEst @grey @wizardmanperson @bronze Yeah this is just a pre-filter for under sink. I don't think I'd want whole house because of loss of flow but idk maybe not a big deal.

     @grey @BowsacNoodle @IsraelDelendaEst @wizardmanperson @bronze buckeyehydro.com/ is who I go to for all my ro and filtering needs, although the membranes are most likely just the standard size. Additionally, using quality and small pore prefilters will keep your downstream filters working longer, and ensuring you have high enough pressure at the membrane will save you in the long run although you may need a booster pump.

     @grey @BowsacNoodle @IsraelDelendaEst @wizardmanperson @bronze Also, if you're using a DI resin, you want the highest rejection rate possible from your membrane, because the DI resin is more expensive. Although, DI isn't typically used for drinking water, I've mostly seen it used with reef aquariums and in chemistry labs.
