Your shower will smell less like a public pool. Your coffee will taste like the beans, not the pipe. And you’ll notice your ice cubes are clear, not cloudy like a swamp ghost. You did that. You wrestled with pipes, ignored a little water in your face, and came out victorious.
Just remember to change the filter cartridge every few months. Set a reminder on your phone, or tie a string around your finger. Because the alternative? Your filter becomes a clogged mess, and then you’re back to drinking water that tastes like a swimming pool’s guilty conscience. And nobody wants that.
Now go wash the mud off your hands and pour yourself a tall, clean glass of water. You’ve earned it.
