Tap 1000%

Toronto tap water is amazing.

i trust australian water

 

[Forerunner]

Can't go wrong with Fiji Water.

Besides the price.

We had a sand point well when I was a kid that was susceptible to groundwater contamination, so we always drank bottled water. Even after we drilled a deeper well we continued to get bottled water because nobody liked the taste. I still buy bottled water now that I live in the city though, I don't like the taste of the tap water here.

 

[Rocketz]

Tap. I have a Brita pitcher I keep in our fridge.

 

[Gallbaro]

That shit is disgusting.

 

[Auto_aim1]

My water purifier is kinda broken and leaking so can't use it right now, so I drink tap water which is boiled, cooled and then chilled in the fridge. I buy bottled water when I forget to carry my own while traveling.

 

[B.K.]

I usually get gallons of distilled water. The tap water where I live isn't safe. I get letters in the mail every other week that the water has failed safety tests. They claim that it's not enough to hurt a person, but I don't believe it. There is too much cancer where I live. There has to be something in the air or water causing it.

 

[DietRob]

I drink tap water. Then again I live in this town.

Wow I had no idea Hamilton, Ohio is one of the top rated places for water. I used to work in that town many years ago I can't remember ever tasting the tap water.

[Sain Drevia]

Tap, but I do use a Brita water pitcher.

Is it? How about gta?

 

[bobbyrawlins]

I buy liter bottles and reuse them with tap water for 2-3 weeks. I probably have cancer.

 

[Einchy]

Bottled.

Tap water here doesn't taste that great.

 

[MrCarter]

A few years ago the chloride smell and taste put me off in London (regulated by Thames Water) so started drinking bottled water and never looked back. The water is Wales tastes bloody amazing though.

 

[Zackat]

you guys need to get water filters instead of buying bottles.

will save you a shitload of money

 

[Messofanego]

Tap.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I buy bottled water, can't stand the way tap water tastes around here (New Jersey)

Don't you know when NYC flushes the toilet jersey gets there drinking water

 

[vypek]

Currently buy bottles. Water from my tap is really disgusting

 

[HvySky]

Tap -> filter pitcher

 

[User 479360]

I buy cheap bottled water from Walmart. We have a well, but I prefer bottled water.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I use a water filter.

 

[Strimei]

Both, though I reuse the gallon jugs and fill them from our tap. Reuse several times until they start smelling funky and getting bad, and recycle.

 

[ActWan]

I buy a bottle and fill it with filtered water till it gets bad so I switch bottles

 

[Zukuu]

When I drink water, tap. Tho, every few months I buy bottled water... (to use it as my tap water bottle).

 

[Hunter S.]

Water comes straight from the rockies, so tap. Most other cities I have been to have terrible tap water.

 

[Marvie_3]

Tap. I refuse to buy bottled water. Such a waste.

 

[Trouble]

I have a water filter built into my refrigerator, but I don't really need it since we have good tap water here in Seattle. I mostly just use it because there is a water reservoir behind the vegetable drawers so there's always plenty of nice cold water on tap.

 

[clav]

Tap. EPA regulated.

Bottled water causes health issues and is one of most expensive ways to buy water.

 

[Gallbaro]

Then you have the uber jackasses who buy water shipped from Fiji n in top of the plastic waste.

link me some legit, current articles because I am interested.

 

[hateradio]

Bottled water is so wasteful, uses lots of other materials to produce (the plastic), and essentially is more expensive than buying a filter for a few months.


At home I use a filter, and I have a metal bottle to take with me to refill.

 

[Bluth54]

I only drink water, but 99% of the time I drink from the tap or from the water cooler where I work. I do buy bottles of water if I go somewhere that I can't easily drink from the tap.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Bottom loading water cooler..Brita sports bottle when I need to refill.

 

[jerry113]

Drink from the tap baby. Save the planet, save money.

 

[teh_pwn]

Reverse osmosis from tap. 100% pure water.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

My fridge has a filter but I'd drink from the tap in Philly any time. Water department is very good here.

 

[SpecX]

Reverse osmosis from tap. 100% pure water.

Thinking about doing this. Currently drink from the fridge filtered. My wife must have bottled.

 

[jmelons]

THC in tap water

Refreshing.

 

[teh_pwn]

Thinking about doing this. Currently drink from the fridge filtered. My wife must have bottled.

That really only softens the water a bit. RO removes virtually everything and doesn't need frequent replacement. Does take more water than it provides so best only for drinking water.

 

[Marjorine]

I just buy bottled water at Costco. I know it's bad for the environment and I know I could just get a filter for the water here (small, lake town where water tastes a little weird), but I don't.

I'd call it lazy, but dragging in the 40 bottle cases of Costco water negates that excuse. Maybe selectively lazy.

 

[Misha]

well/spring water. just tastes so much better

 

[Already Torn]

Tap! I think it's full of lead, but whatever.

 

[stressboy]

I drink water filtered by my fridge.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Bottled. I used to drink filtered tap but ended up in the hospital due to what was more than likely something in the water. Never again.

 

[bobbyrawlins]

That sounds delicious.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

They found thc in a neaby town's water supply just last week. (colorado)

Pfcs in my old hometown last month. .... =/ (south colorado springs)

That was proven not to be true.

 

[Forerunner]

I just use the filter on the fridge for the most part, but I'll drink tap also. We have our own well, so it's never been an issue really. Only time I drink bottle is if I go somewhere or something like that.

Let's start with a basic article:

Followed by a few studies:

Some people follow a rule when their bottled water has been sitting inside a car in a hot sunny day, they throw it out.
