At home we make it a point to boil the water before drinking.I feel that is the safest way as compared to other means.What do you guys feel?

Hey, Well actually where we live we always have filtered water and I actually think that filtered water is better then drinking boiled water because it is filtered. Some people only heat up the water and think it is good enough, but it needs to be boiled at 100 degrees. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

When I am at home my mother force me to drink boiled water, she says that it is the best because when the water is boiling then all the bacteria are killed so it is safe to drink.

I drink my water straight from the tap,here the water is clear so that it do not bother me to drink it from the tap.However a friend of mines water is very cloudy and dirty looking so she has to use bottled water which works out very expensive to buy.If i drink water i tend to put a flavor with it.

Here, where I live, we have the luck that we can drink the water from public aqueduct... I know that in the majority of the places around the world, it is impossible to do and to think, but here you can, and are a lot of years that in my family we drink this water, and nobody have any problems.

i personally feel the best way to be safe from water born diseases. At home we consume only after boiling it. And when i am away from home i make it a point that i carry boiled water from home. Well keep mylotting.

We purchase demineralized water. It undergoes reverse osmosis step as the main purifying step. The minerals present in the water contribute to the taste. Im pretty picky on how my water should taste like. Boiled is ok, but it tastes awful.

Mineral water is the safest way to stay away from water borne diseases when I am away from home. So,I always prefer bottled mineral water when I am traveling. At home I take filtered water. It hard to boil the water always as I take 5 to 6 liters a day... I think,filtering it will be the best idea.

we have water purifier here, the one that is called bio mineral pot. that is what we use for drinking. i can drink straight from the top and its ok with me and i dont feel anything in my tummy or body, unlike my inlaw who will have stomach right away if the water he drinks is not mineral or purified water. i agree with you boiling is the safest means, but then if we do that here i will not save on gas... or electricity... so purified water is what we always drink here.

We boil water at home before drinking. The water has come from a long way from the water plant to my home that there are so many chances that it will be contaminated by gems or bacteria. Better to boil and kill at least some of them before drinking.
