Yeah, they say every 151L.

You can use that to calculate how much water to drink per day. But I think generally it's around 2L (?). So you should technically still be changing it every 2 months and a half.

There are so many symptoms, I don't even want to begin naming them all.

Don't you watch the Simpsons? It's the exact opposite XD

Why waste time on the Simpsons when you could invest it in greater things, like South Park, Family Guy, House, or Dexter?

Well this is my Hamilton tap water story. I foolishly forgot to bring bottled water or a filter or anything with me to residence when I moved in Welcome Week. Of course WW was boiling hot my year (not last year but the one before). I was so thirsty I decide I just had to drink tap water and fill up my Humanities Society Nalgene with it. At home I'm used to drinking Brita filter water so I was a little skeptical about the tap water. I found the taste to be pretty off putting. I only continued to drink it for the rest of the week b/c it was so hot and I was really thirsty.

I'd recommend bringing the filter.
