That 'miracle' water filter article lost me at the lab test photo

Tried following a viral piece about a $30 filter that supposedly cleaned river water to tap standards. The photo showed a lab beaker clearly labeled 'distilled water,' not the river sample they claimed. Anyone else catch these stock photo slip-ups in science claims?

Did they ever show the actual test strips or just that fancy beaker shot...

Caught that too. Same thing happened with my last water test. Pure show, no proof. They zoomed in on the glass, made it look all science-y, but never gave a real close-up of the strips. Makes you wonder what they're hiding. If the results were good, why not show the actual color change? Easy to fake a pretty beaker. I need to see the damn strips or it's just theater.
