Another UV filter
Just finished installing my second UV water filter, in addition to 3 filters (2 1-micron filters, 1 ceramic) and a UV filter. The older UV filter is rated to process 1 gallon per minute. I suppose the new one, though more compact, is also able to do the same.

The water in this part of town isn't particularly bad. The water utility company, MWCI, has a reputation for quality and reliability. Sometime ago I also tested our water for bacteria and contaminants. Naah!, nothing passed through my old water filter system. Still, I can imagine dead rats and cockroaches floating in our building's cistern and tank. Well, just that: imagination, no proof. I'm not even checking.

Why people buy water from refill stations is beyond me. They've been duped, I can imagine. I bet my DIY water filtering system yields even cleaner and safer water than what's sold in many refill stations. There, no proof, for now.

Feminist PCs, check out Camille Paglia!
Some people I know are feminists. But they're mostly the PC type, as they have become the orthodoxy in many places. This woman offers an alternative to the sorry state of feminism now.
