    I have one of these.

    Its one of the best filters on the market for removing lead and herbicides/pesticides. I bet it would take out iron just fine.

    Our water always tasted funny. This fixed it. Be advised, the water will be cloudy at first until it works the air out of the filter, but it is just air, and will disappear after letting the water sit for a while. Mine did that for about a day, though I've heard it taking a week or two before it stops. Prolly depends on ur water pressure (ours is high).

    I went with the countertop version + some DIY plumbing...

    The level of iron we have is 12.4. The maximum containment level is 0.3 so not sure something that small will be able to handle the amount of iron we have. I’ll have to research it. Thanks

    Odd, Governor Kate Brown declared a state of emergency one week after the first case of the Chinese virus yet she watches major cities like Portland be overrun with homeless, Antifa rioters run rampant in the streets, and the mayor gives the police orders to stand down and does nothing. Quite the governor you got there.

    Apparently you are doing little more than parroting right wing propaganda. When one looks into the reality of the situation, one finds that, as to homelessness in US cities, Portland comes in 50th. Meaning that there are 49 cities, spread all across the country, with more of a homeless problem than Portland. I should also note that among American cities, violent crime is quite low in Portland. Like a tenth as much as elsewhere.

    Which brings us to claims of violence supposedly perpetrated by the anti fascists. Turns out that Portland's City Center is heavily covered with cameras. Everywhere you go, someone's camera has an eye on you. Thus with a little effort it was possible for the police to zero in on the trouble makers. Once the police started arresting members of the violent right wing gangs and charging them with felonies, the violence stopped, cold turkey.

    It is kind of difficult to take the word of many conservatives seriously when so many of the memes conservatives are all about, turn out to be based on a less than honorable reckoning.

    I regularly watch "Meet the Press". When Trump was running for office, and even for the first year or so, they seemed to bend over backwards to allow Trump and his spokespeople, to say what they were going to say, unopposed. But at some point they realized that they were being lied to. That they were never going to get a straight answer out of the likes of Kellyanne Conway and Rudy Giuliani. They were just there to muddy the water, to spread false information.

    At least by time the Ukrainian phone call came about, the news media came to realize that any pretentions of balance only went to legitimize the less than honorable messages emanating from the White House, that they would not be doing their due diligence if they did not point out the horribleness and the corruption of Trump, the president of low expectations.

    K. But the question was "Which of our rights has Trump eroded or even attempted to erode?" You said "Free Press" but have yet to demonstrate how The Press is being prevented from reporting anything. The Press is still free.

    I think President Trump is pro American. He is trying to make cities like this great again but when you are dealing with anti cop mayors in sanctuary cities you get, take this city for example.

    Maybe if you make your letters bigger, they give them more meaning.

    It is almost comical the way conservatives like to bash Portland. Fact of the matter though is that life in Portland is much nicer than most places. Take a trip around the country. There is more poverty in red states. Places like Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Kansas City and Houston Texas have worse of a homeless problem than Portland. Ever been to Louisiana? But you know, apparently conservatives have to bash their betters.

    Not bashing any city just picked one at random.
    The links were not made bigger, they were cut and pasted from sources that printed them bigger.

    China is a dictatorship that never hesitates to use violence to enforce the laws or simply the whims of its leadership.

    Yes, I was aware of quite a few protections BO initiated that have been scrapped.

    Seems to be something symbolic in it. Weird.

    Over regulation. The reason they could be overturned has more to do with the law and being recent regulations.

    Here is a look at a future of America. The coming narcissistic dystopia enhanced by modern technology is beyond anything we can imagine.
