Bottled vs. Tap Water: 5 Key Differences You Should Know
When it comes to staying hydrated, not all water is created equal. As both a brewer and chemical engineer here in Kansas City, I’ve spent years thinking about water quality,
"For me, brewing is both a craft and a conversation. I love experimenting with new styles and ingredients, but I always come back to what makes a beer memorable — balance, freshness, and a little personality. At Border, we’re constantly exploring new ideas while staying true to our love for small-batch brewing. Whether it's a bold IPA or a smooth, drinkable lager, I hope every sip gives you a taste of what we’re all about."

I’m Eric, a chemical engineer and brewer, and here’s the real deal about reverse osmosis water.
I hear concerns all the time: “RO water strips minerals from your body.” But that’s not how it works. RO filters remove practically everything—including chlorine, heavy metals, microplastics—giving you nearly pure water. That’s why people get nervous.
Here’s the truth: your body only gets minerals from your food and drinks that add minerals—it doesn’t lose minerals by drinking RO water. So as long as you’re eating normally, you’re getting what you need.
Want to be extra mindful? I like adding a pinch of mineral-rich salt first thing—like pink Himalayan, Celtic sea salt, or even just plain table salt. It’s an easy way to top up electrolytes and stay hydrated. Personally, I put a bit in my morning RO water—it feels like a hydration booster and can’t hurt.
Bottom line: RO water isn’t harmful—it’s just a blank slate. Don’t fall for fear-based myths. Stay curious, stay hydrated, and let’s keep it simple.
