I'm sure it is a fixed problem and you can get faucet lead filters already, they're just not affordable because capitalism.

Also the $1 is linkbait; it may be $1 in materials, but especially if the housing was 3D printed, the actual cost would be higher.

That said, no reason this product commercially available should be more than $10, and/or given away for free along with refills to the people most impacted while they work on a more permanent solution.



May I ask how much the already available filters cost? I thought these things would be cheap
