Anyone drink tap water?

[gassy]

I just read an article about how on average tap water is cleaner than bottled water. Even when I run it through one of those britta filters, I just don't like the taste though. Plus I don't really believe the article. It is a little ridiculous the money and effort that I put into drinking bottled water when I think about it. Maybe I could get used to the tap water.

I don't waste my money on bottled water. Its over rated IMO. I put a squeeze of lime in my good old tap water and I'm ready to go. Just drink plenty of water!

I drink tap water, i do have an inline filter that helps....I am lucky to live where i do, there is a lot of fresh water here...I live in the rocky mountains, very clean clear water in this area..
I think there is a lot of filters on the market now that really do help if your water is not that tasty, The last place i lived was so high in iron it reaked through the house and turned every appliance red, i did not drink that high quality h2o...

Yeah dude, tap water is the way to go. I used to drink a ton of bottled water until I realized I was a poor college student - that and the fact that tap water is much more easily available since I don't have to run to the store when I run out. I used to use lime in my tap water, too, before I just got lazy with that as well and gave up on it. You just need to get used to the taste, it's really not that bad after a little bit , we all kind of get spoiled with the filtered water and what not when it really isn't that much different. I guess that depends where you live though - i've seen some pretty nasty tap water, haha. Either way, I don't think one has an advantage health-wise over another - I swear by tap water.

bottled water is a waste unless you live in a 3rd world country.

I love the tap water where I am from, it tastes better than most bottled. I often visit my brother down in London and the water taste vile, so I guess the area you live in helps, from a nutritional standpoint tap water does contain some minerals.

Anyone here tried that ozone cleaned/filtered water with absolutely nothing in just h2o, I have heard it is the best for hydration.

the tap water is great where i stay, cant remember the last time i bought a bottle of water

 

[RFIG]

my tap water taste just fine.

i think alot of bottled water is from the tap

 

[irish2003]

most bottled water is regular tap water anyway.

i fill up a gallon jug twice a day and replace the jugs once a week.

I did see something on the 20/20 about the two.Not sure which mineral it was but they said that if you only drank bottle water u would not get it and it could hurt your heart,long term.I think that most of the consumption of this mineral you get is from the water you drink.Wish i was not so vauge sorry.

Guys, if you had a racecar would you run regular oil or synthetic Mobil 1? Its the same thing with your water. You would be amazed at the krapp that is in tap water; hell just look at the pipes that it has been running through and that should be enough to tell you how shitty it is. Do you really want to put that shit in your body? Yes, when you filter bottled water some of the good stuff gets filtered out, but those minerals can easily be replaced with diet/supplements. Bottled water has gotten a bad name because of politics and some unscrupulous companies that don't filter their bottled water properly.

That is a good point I can see the crap that builds up in my shower and I wouldn't want to drink it, nor do I want to ingest fluoride either. FL is 49th out of 50 for water quality, so I guess it depends on your region. There are these things called glacier water machines at my local supermarket that double filter and uv treat regular tap water. It costs 30 cents to fill up a gallon, so I just bring empty jugs every week when I shop and fill 'em up. Way cheaper than bottled water but same taste and quality.

very good point

i wont drink tap water, i have 4, 5 gallon jugs i fill about every 10 days, it is the same double filtered system that 6.86pc said.... it is very good...

another thing i do is put some collodial silver in it, it had some great immune benifits that i have witnessed first hand.... it comes in a dropper bottle and you just put a few drops in each jug, you cant taste it...... its really good for food poising too......

[Braven]

I drink a mixture of both but when i drink tap water i filter it first. The bottled water is a local companies still spring water tastes amazing... for water

I no longer drink tap water. I travel often and have found water purification in public water varies from area to area. ive been sickend by tainted water before that came from the tap. its bottled water for me.

I live in the Rocky Mountains and the water is high quality H2O. So I drink tap water usually. There is also a large bottled water producing company in my area and they bottle the same stuff that comes out of my fawcet.
