NYC Puts Microscopic Shrimp In Its Tapwater. This is The Best Way To Make it Drinkable…
Am I the only one just learning that NYC puts microscopic shrimp in its tap water? Fortunately… they don’t stand a chance against my Sans Water Purifier. Alongside the 4-stage Reverse Osmosis filter, the Sans Purifier also uses a UV-C light to kill pathogens like viruses and bacteria (unlike my old Brita which I recently discovered only removes sediment and chlorine, if that).
I read this article about these shrimp, called “copepods,” that NYC adds to its water to eat mosquito larvae and other hazards. While I’d certainly prefer tiny shrimp to mosquito larvae in my eight glasses a day, I can’t help but feel a little betrayed (and also, horrified). The copepods are apparently harmless but… I’m looking for hydration to come out of my sink, not a seafood bisque.
And if there are harmless shrimp in my water that I didn’t know about, I couldn’t imagine how much harmful stuff could be in there, too. (And not just New York, but anywhere.) Nah, I need the gold standard of filtration for what I’m drinking: reverse osmosis. Removing particles up to 0.0001 microns in size all but guarantees I’m avoiding viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, microplastics… microscopic shrimp.
And when it comes to the best of the best type of water filtration out there, Sans countertop Water Purifier ($399) takes the cake. The Sans process removes up to 99.9% of harmful contaminants—talk about elite.
So Sans Water Purifier Is Up to 5x More Effective Than Traditional Filters.
This thing won’t stop at removing the protein from my H20 salad… with filtration this pure, it might just turn my water into the fountain of youth.
Being the hypochondriac I am, learning about NYC’s copepods sent me down a rabbit hole of what could be infesting municipal water: forever chemicals like PFOAs, viruses, heavy metals, antibiotics, hormones, arsenic (!), microplastics. But one trip through the Sans Water Purifier, and I’m drinking pure, completely uncontaminated water.
So yeah, I’m not sure if I’ve ever ordered something so fast.
The Sans Difference
I knew Sans sounded familiar, but then I realized I’d seen an article on their professional-grade air purifier just the other day. Sans means “without” in French—an apt name for a company taking the bullsh*t out of everything in our home.
Apparently, founders Adam Bedford and John Fanelly got the idea for a silent, sleek, medical-grade way to keep your air inside clean during the pandemic. They wanted to clean the air, but they also wanted to design a product you’d actually want in your home, not an industrial-looking monstrosity you have to hide behind the chair.
So, Sans was born, and now they’re getting vouched for by doctors, Forbes, Architectural Digest… you name it. They launched their elite Water Purifier only recently, but something tells me once people catch wind of what’s swimming around in their water glasses the boxes will be flying off the rack for this product, too.
At First, I Thought $399 For a Water Filter Was Insane…
Now I’m thinking, for everything Sans does, it might be a steal. For one thing, the system automatically dispenses water into the glass pitcher, ensuring I always have a full pitcher of water ready to go. (The tank holds about 118 fl. oz.)
It’s also got an instant hot water setting, so I can whip up a cup of purified hot tea in a matter of seconds. If you’re like Ted Lasso and think tea is just “garbage water,” you probably haven’t tasted a cup steeped with professional-grade purification. One cup of this will turn you British real quick.
Similar to the Sans Air Purifier, my Water Purifier also uses SmartPure technology, with a precise sensor and a digital display that gives me a readout of the total dissolved solids in the water. It also indicates when it’s time to replace the filters. (The filters impressively last from a range of 12-24 months, and come out to $75 per year without a subscription and $67.50 with one.)
One Glass of Pristine Tap Water, Hold the Shrimp, Please.
It took one bold Redditor to uncover the truth about these shrimp in 2010. All I’m saying is, if they’re not telling us about the MICROSCOPIC SHRIMP, what else could be in the tap water? But with my Sans Water Purifier, I don’t even have to worry about that anymore.
Sans offers a 30-day risk-free trial with free returns, so if you’re unsure if you want to avoid chowing down on microscopic stir fry when you wanna quench your thirst, you can always try it out at no cost. Standard shipping is free, it’s backed by a 3-year warranty, and you can even pay in interest-free installments.
The bottom line is I’m drinking purified, pristine, delicious water, all in the comfort of my own home. If you’re not into shrimp, or you’re just looking for the best way to hydrate with peace of mind, I cannot recommend Sans Water Purifier enough.
