Hey all:

After 5 really nice years with our under sink 2-stage aquasana (wirecutter recommendation) we had a catastrophic leak a couple weeks ago that flooded our kitchen and dining room (and encapsulated crawl space below). I'm still working on fixing the damage it caused.

I guess I should have heeded Wirecutter's advice to have leak detector sensors, which I now have on the way.

Anyway, we kind of have PTSD and decided to install a faucet-attached filter, which I'm still getting used to. I don't love it and I miss our pull down sprayer kitchen faucet. But take comfort that when the plastic housing fails, I'll be standing at the kitchen sink and can immediately turn off the faucet.

Do all filters eventually leak? Does everyone just have leak detectors installed and are OK with this? Or are there any brands that have more of a reliable track record?

I’d love an under sink filter again but I’m stressed about it!

Thanks!

Thank y’all in advance for any very short (like 10-40 pages ideally) Thay writing recs!

My public defender office’s monthly book club has been reading and discussing very short articles and stories. With how busy we are, many don’t even find time to read the very short assigned readings.

I’d love to introduce Thay to my office. Thay and the Plum Village tradition have really transformed my life and practice.

What’s a very short and powerful reading? I can photocopy chapters of books or print online articles.

Our office touches a lot of suffering through our work. My first instinct was maybe something from No Mud No Lotus. Any other ideas?

Thank you! 🙏
