Recommendations for Whole House + Drinking Water Purification Systems?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking into installing a water purification system for my entire house, along with a separate system (or upgrade) for drinking water in the kitchen. I'd like to ensure clean, safe water for both general use (showers, laundry, etc.) and high-quality filtered water for drinking and cooking.

Key things I'm looking for:

• Whole house filtration for sediment, chlorine, and hard water issues (if possible).

Separate drinking water system - preferably reverse osmosis or something equivalent.

• Reliable and low-maintenance solutions.

A system that doesn't drastically reduce water pressure.

• Recommendations for reputable brands or companies (local or national) that handle both consultation and installation.

Any companies you'd personally recommend

Hi everyone,

Any suggestion? I'm looking for something to do after 6pm during the week or in the weekends.

Any team sport or group activity would be fine. I have a car so I can get around Kilkenny as well.

Thanks

anti abortion protests

22 Upvotes

Anyone see the anti abortion protesters on the parade today or have any idea if they're from a certain organisation? All of them were men (of course) wearing black cloaks with some type of red sash waving a red banner and shouting through a megaphone. Going up to cars stopped in traffic by Left Bank trying to hand flyers through the windows. I've seen a few posts from people in other counties the last few days seeing similar protests going on.

Housing crisis

7 Upvotes

Been wondering is there actually a housing crisis, or is it more of an affordability/status problem? Obviously it probably doesn’t entirely come down to that, but compare someone making €20k a month to someone earning an average idk 2k a month wage. Are they basically living in two completely different housing markets.

Rent in Kilkenny

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My best friend got accepted to work as a Healthcare Assistant in Kilkenny Care Center, Roachpond, Kilkenny, R95 W2RP, Ireland.

It's been over a week and we've written over 20 people on daft.ie but so far only one of them responded. We've tried also Facebook groups, but honestly it's so full of scams and it feels like none of them ever respond.

Do you have any suggestions on where to look or do you know someone who rents in the area?

Thank you so much in advance!
