Aquafina labels: It's really tap water

[~*Maria*~ 1]

The smell of chlorine (if thats what i'm smelling - smells downright disgusting) from the tap water here makes me yack, i for one refuse to drink tap water, i'm too used to drinking pure clean tap water from scotland, with none of the stuff thats in the water here, so purified bottled water works fine for me, hubby lugs 2 cases a week for me from the grocery store and doesnt complain, he's more than happy to do it seeing as i quit drinking soda a few months back.

Most tap water is fine to drink. People just like to waste money.

have you ever drank LA water..??

I don't feel like I am wasting money either.....

I should maybe invest in a good filter, then I could filter my own water but I like the convenience of the bottled water....

get a brita water filter. i used to use one in germany.

after drinking german water, i can see why beer is so popular over there

buy a few bottles, refill from the brita water filter. i've done that

For what? Tap water in Germany is great as it is. I never touch bottled water in Germany. No need to.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with German tap water when I lived there.......

I HATE Dallas/Ft Worth water, though. It smells ..." mossy" [or something] to me. Can anyone tell me what the heck that smell is in their water?

Here in East Texas, it's good, but we drink it cold filtered from the fridge anyway.

Our tap water here in BFE Indiana smells like bleach. If you fill a tub for a bath, it's just like being in an over-chlorinated swimming pool. Mags hasn't drank from the tap here at all that I'm aware of. We lug cases of bottled water home from the store every week. I don't care that it's from a "public water source", as long as it ain't from OUR public water source.

People, people...check it out...

I'm a germophobe and whatnot...and I have a water tester. Most bottled water is nasty! Tap water even with the best filter is almost off the charts! But you know those machines where you put the 5 gallon jugs under? On a scale of 0 - 200 part per million, it's like 20 or summat.

I can't remember the number exactly, but it's something ridiculously low like that. Awesome water. And even awesome ice cubes. You know how ice cubes look frostyish? Ice made from that water is clear.

But it's gotta be a reverse osmosis machine. And truthfully, the ppm vary depending on which machine you use....so get a water tester if you're unsure.

Buy yourself one of those dispensers, and start drinking water from there. 5 gallons is like $1.25.

[Fandango 1,439]

Ok, I've just been told that the frostyish is due to the air in the water and nowt to do with the additives or whatever they are.

But it still tastes better, so neener

Another option is a distiller--I can remember visiting a store which sells them about 6 years ago in Calgary.

Back when I owned a house, I had Culligan install a reverse osmosis system for our tap water.

Right now I buy Crystal Geyser in the gallon container - we go through about 6 gallons a week.
