    You use filtered water to… water the garden?.. At this point you could use your blood to water the garden.

    Not saying that you shouldn’t water garden at all, because garden is good, garden is food.

      Well, it’s an under-sink inlet attached filter, so the pressure throughput is the same as if you were to use a regular faucet.

          For drinking? Yes, the water stops tasting like chlorine and iron. It also filters lead, fluoride and other unvanted elements. Simple carbon filter I believe.

          Not sure it makes any difference for the back yard though.

            Salts are fine, but you have lead in your water? Then yes, you better filter it, there is no safe lead concentration. Lead is super toxic for mammals.

            You should make lab analysis of tap water. If your water company delivers water with lead, then you should complain and deal with it.

            Another awkward translation.

              Oh yes, North American cities in the east coast are known to have many dwelling built with lead pipes. Montréal is particularly bad, due to the high amount of multidwelling midrise plexes.

              The city is running its replacement program, but it’s painfully slow. The first thing I did when moving in here was to install the filter.

              There’s nothing really to complain about. Just have to be patient and keep the children from drinking unfiltered tap water.
