I do like that my countries tap water is perfectly drinkable/inflammable. I have no need for such fridges.

Just fyi inflammable means flammable .

Inflammable is something that can be inflamed

But in case anyone was at risk of thinking they understood the logic of the English language, flammable also means inflammable, so good luck.

Most of North America, the tap water is perfectly drinkable; but it can still be improved with extra filtration.

These also provide water colder than a tap can.

To be clear, very much a luxury item, not a necessity in any way. They've just become quite common over here.

The filters are also particulate filters; they won't do much if your water is actually considered unhealthy due to bacterial contamination/you're on a boil water notice.
