Question

What is the rabbi’s opinion regarding a water bar on Shabbat: with the cold water, is there an issue of borer (separating)? Is it obligatory to install a filter bypass? And is there also any problem with a residential filter installed on all the water in the house?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

A bypass should be installed for the filters in order not to perform borer (selection) on Shabbat.
