Water, Perfected

Somewhere along the way, tap water wasn’t good enough.

I built an RO filtration system, hacked together from parts that definitely didn’t all agree to work together. Tubing everywhere. Meters. T-connectors. Valves. A Frankenstein’s monster of hydration.

But when the last air bubble cleared the line, there it was — clean water, built by hand. A stupid, beautiful victory.
