many people now a day drink bottle water because they believe it is better for them. do you think bottle water is better than tap water and what brand of bottle water do you drink? also many people have start refilling the water bottle after they have finish drink all the water. do you refill the water bottle with your water at home after you have drank all the water or do you just throw it away?

tap water - i love to drink tap water better than bottled water.
I love tap water better than bottle water. Every day we use tap water to drink and do some washing. But we usually boil it first before drinking. We have a water machine for filtering the water in the jug and we can just drink it without boiling it. In spite of this, I still love to get it boiled first before drinking. I get and drink bottle water while traveling. Have a happy day as always, my happy friend.

Water is the major souce and is avaiable in the maximum amount even though most of the places they dont get the enoungh soft water for drinking.I usually use to drink the soft tape water we just use the aqua fillter for making water more sweet and mineral. The water in our place is not so soft water because we are near to arabic ocean. Only the few places in our city get the soft water. Our place get the soft water but not too sweet. In our place the people use to buy the 20litres bottle purified water. One of the famous brand are the bislary and sweet. We have our own plant to make the hard water soft.Because we cant do many think with the hard water.(Main think to say that i use the tap water for drink). In case during my travel if i buy the one litter of two liter purified or mineral water i never through the empty botles and i use to store the water for the fridges use. Whats you opnion for the discusssion.

I am completely and totally against bottled water. It's stupid to pay for something that you can get out of the faucet in your kitchen, and the plastic bottles are extremely wasteful. I wouldn't consider refilling the plastic bottles, either. For one, plastic is semi-porous and can't be completely sanitized, so over time the re-used bottle could contain harmful bacteria. For two, plastic contains harmful chemicals that will eventually begin to leak into your water after you've used the bottle for a while. When I need to take water with me somewhere, I use a glass bottle with my own filtered tap water. I have broken a couple of my glass bottles, though, so I will probably be getting a good stainless steel one.

i buy bottle water once in awhile if i am away from home and have had to much soda then i will buy bottle water. i have reused the bottle before but just for about 2 weeks than i get a new one. i brought myself a cup with a lid and either put soda or water from my refrig. which has a filter on it. thank you for your response. happy mylotting

Hi there Happy! I prefer bottled water since our tap water in our area isn't really safe to drink.

It depends what the tap water is like where you live. Here its fine so i would usually drink that. the only time I would consider buying bottled water would be if I was thirsty whilst out somewhere and unsure of the quality of the tap water - though I'd still be more likely to go for juice instead.

the water here is fine except when they put chlorine in it than the chlorine is strong so, i drink the water that come from my refrig. which has a filter and i do not taste the chlorine. i was told that is what they put in the water once in awhile to help purify it. thank you for your response and happy mylotting.

So far, i seldom buy bottled water. I prefer to use my own filtered tap water for my daily use. I always changed my filter, every year and i am confidence to drink my filtered tap water. I only buy bottled water, when i am out from my home and had forgotten to bring along my bottle flask. Well, bottled water cost more then filtered tap water, right? And it's not really healthy to drink water from plastic bottle, as well. Because, the plastic bottle was recycled so many times, until we are not sure how clean is the bottle anymore...

i did not know that the plastic bottles were not that healthy. i would assume than that the soda in plastic is probably a recycled bottle too. thank you for your response and happy mylotting.
