Just Wondering...

[GODDESS6]

i buy alot of bottled water, they are always saying here (omaha) how they filter the waste water to drink, well i say no thanx~ i know even my bottled water comes from somewhere too, but i have a hard time drinking what i like to call "sink water", i literally gag on it~ maybe it is totally in my head...i was just wondering how many ledgies drink bottled water & do have have a preference of brands, i tend to buy FIJI natural artesian water & you...?~

I drink bottled water, but don't like the "fizzy" ones. No particular brand.

I'm a bottled water fan. I have Sierra Springs in my house which I use for cooking, drinking, etc. I like Fiji, Volvic or San Pellegrino for when I want bubbles.

I drink both boiled water at home, and bottled water. Bottled is more delicious

I drink both bottled and tap. Usually bottled, but when I run low sometimes, I'll refill a few bottles with tap. I decided the other day that tap IS gross. I was mowing, and opened a bottle that had tap in it, and the difference was DAY AND NIGHT. The tap was terrible, in comparison.

I drink only purified and/or distilled. I can't stand the taste of tap.

I have a filter on my fridge at home so I use that when I'm home. Otherwise it's bottled water only. I can't stand tap water.

here, I love the tap water we have, Put it in a bottle and let it set in the frig for a few hours and it tastes better than any water I have ever had.

Both Deb & myself also drink Ozarka & Deja-Blu bottled water...Hell, I even saw Deja-Blu water in a can in Dallas a few years back.

I fill up my water bottles at the de ionizing/filter machine at Whole Foods or the Glacier fill up station at Safeway. One gallon, 30-39 cents. I drink tap water, too, but i don't think I should around here. (It's very polluted here, and the ladies in Marin have something like triple the national average for breast cancer).
But I sometimes don't get water in time since I have to make extra grocery trips because I carry it in my backpack.
Anyway, I like the fill-up-my-already-used-gallon-containers myself method, rather than buying bottles and bottles and bottles of water. And I almost trust well filtered water more than "natural spring" because in my head, there are few places that pollution does not reach - if air is polluted, and rain falls from it, then bam, pollution. Although there are still a few clear areas.
The thing is, you can get actual reports about the quality of your water in the area. Also, you could get a Britta filter for your tap. A girl in my enviro law class who works for a chemical testing place said that Britta filters out the things you'd be worried about.
I'm sure you could find a lot more info online if you looked. I've also recently learned more about the process of filtering water, and it is pretty thorough. So if you have tap water once in awhile I don't think you'd suffer adverse effects.

i used to use a britta pitcher, i loved it, but the filters became almost obscure, glad i'm not the only one who doesn't like tap water~

I feel like I see them everywhere. You could probably get them online. I'll send you some for your birthday...
Almost everyone I know doesn't drink tap water.

I buy the stuff at the grocery store wher you put in gallon jugs out of this special tap.
