Water Filtration

We just bought a water filter setup. Nazava Saringan Air (filter water - I love how "water" is "air" in Indonesian. I want them to change the word for air which is udara to "water.")
We got the 13.5 liter one you can see at that link above. With it we can drink tap water. It may replace the water we get in the five gallon bottles just like in the States but not sure. Anyway it will reduce our use of that and pay for itself. It cost a little over twenty dollars and we pay two dollars for one of those bottles via the landlord who doubles the price to supply it and change the water - they're heavy. We very seldom get the Aqua water in plastic bottles now, have stainless traveling containers. Doing our bit to reduce plastic guilt.
