**Title:** Testing a 5-Stage Water Filter with Purity Meter
**Background:** The speakers, who previously drank tap water in Vancouver (considered one of the cleanest in the world), encountered water problems after moving to a new location. They got sick and started buying bottled water, but sought a more practical and eco-friendly solution.
**Solution:** They purchased a 5-stage water filter with a built-in impurity meter to test and improve their tap water quality.
**Key Findings:**
* The tap water tested positive for impurities (meter reading: 11).
* After filtration, the water quality significantly improved (meter reading: 000).
* A comparison with mineral water showed the filtered tap water had comparable, if not better, quality.
**Outcome:**
* The speakers solved their domestic water problem.
* They reduced plastic waste from buying bottled water.
* The impurity meter allows them to test and ensure the effectiveness of their filter (or any future filters).
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, numbered and in short sentences, without opinions:
**Water Quality and Filtration**
1. Vancouver, Canada is known for having one of the cleanest water supplies in the world.
2. The speaker experienced water quality issues after moving from Canada.
3. Lead contamination is a concern in some water supplies, particularly in older infrastructure.
**Filter Specifications**
4. The chosen water filter has a 5-stage filtration process.
5. The filter can remove solids, lead, trivalent chromium, and sulfuric hydrogen from water.
6. The filter comes with a built-in water impurity meter.
**Testing and Comparison**
7. A water test showed "11" on the impurity meter before filtration, indicating high impurity levels.
8. After filtration, the same water tested "00" on the impurity meter.
9. Mineral water was also tested, showing a lower impurity level (20.02) but still containing some minerals and additives.
**Maintenance and Usage**
10. The filter needs to be replaced every 3 months or after 3,395 liters of water.
11. The impurity meter can be used to test water quality from any source, not just the filter.
**Environmental Impact**
12. Using a water filter reduces the need for single-use plastic bottles.
13. Not all collected plastic bottles are successfully recycled, contributing to environmental pollution.
