Which one of you put a water filter here?

My daughter is a food microbiologist and dw is a nurse , both bacteria minded and know more about this stuff than me. They were explaining the whole thing to me and were making me sick just listening to them.
Two against one. Easier not to argue. Even easier to crack open a Poland Spring and make the coffee. Makes my fishing experience less stressful.

Sometimes a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

You would think that a microbiologist and nurse would understand that boiling water for coffee will kill pretty much all the bacteria...it might be worth using bottled water to keep the peace but there is no scientific basis.

I believe most of the sensitivity is a reverse placebo effect. They believe it's harmful, so their body reacts as if it is harmful.

To the original question: Change the filter or eliminate it and move on. If it really makes you feel better treat the water system with some diluted chlorine bleach.
