Bottled or tap?

if i could afford it,i would.i am debating getting one of those filters you add to the faucet tho,because ours tastes digusting. the past couple of months it's been smelling chloriney,and then we got a fail notice from the city.which is probably why it smelled like that. i'm pretty sure they add way too much flouride as well,because almost everyone i know has bad teeth.

We have the same problem i.e. where we reside. Earlier we used to buy water and drink. This used to cost my family 600 to 650 INR. every month. Hence we have purchased a water purifier and connected it to the tap. Now we drink water from it. Two years back we have bought a KENT made water purifier, it costed 14,000 INR. then.

Now a days its not recommended of drinking tap water specially to those area prone to floods like our area as water isn't that safe to drink, we only use it for bath and cleaning. We normally buy gallons of water though its not that expensive so at least its more safe also.

I wish our area filtered the water but they don't. I got a filter system for our sink but it got broke so I am going to get me a pitcher filtered water thing.

they are suppose to purity the water, but they don't. we normally drink bottled water when out traveling. and at home, we first filter the water and boil it for 20-25 minutes and then cool it and finally drink it. its safer.

I often choose bottled water.It gives me a sense of security,although,if you come to think upon it,it's not the logical option. Sometimes I envy people who live at the mountain side and have a natural spring water.They can clearly say that no one ever manipulates the water they're drinking.Of course,there are dangers,but I have seen more water related problems here than at the mountain.

I personally like our tap water, although many do not. I drink it. It has lots of minerals that I think make for strong bones and teeth.

Where I live, we have some of the best tasting water in the world, and in the building where we live, we don't have to pay extra for water. Also, plastic bottles are vey harmful to the environment, when one stops to think about how many are thrown away on a regular basis. I would rather drink tap water than bottled water.

hi dfollin I am not sure how the water system works here in Garden Grove bu t here where i am in this retirement center they] do filter our water as many people here are not in perfect health so I do not really worry about the water. I am so short of funds I have not been buying bottled water nor can I get around that easily either. I am partly physically handicapped. But I did ask when I came here about the water and felt itwas save.

I have a pur water filter thing on my kitchen tap that's where I get my water.

When I lived in Spain, I always drink bottled water from the brand "Bezoya". I lived in a very dry almost-desert zone where it rains 5 times a year, so the water they bring has gone throuh a very aggresive process and has high levels of chloride and fluoride. I don't wish to put a lot of fluoride into my body, since it's not good for your health. Here in England I drink tap water, because it's a better quality, and it's been filtered for a higher purity so I don't have any problem at all drinking it.

We use tap water only and really it is very very clean and pure water supplied in our city so we don't have any health issues. But filtered water is always preferable as you have rightly said. But in traveling i prefer either a water bottle from home or will purchase mineral water bottle which is hygienic and pure and easy to carry.

Even purified water still has some chemicals in it. I always drink bottled water, not only because I feel like it's better for you, but to me it tastes better as well. I think tap water tastes rusty almost. Your city should definitely be trying to make the water as clean as it can be. Not everyone can afford to buy bottled water all the time and if it's a health issue then it's something that the health department should be pushing for. No one deserves to have unsafe water running in their homes.

i always drink mineral you know we order mineral and they deliver the water to us and that's what always drink i never drink from the tap because sometimes it tastes like dirt and it's disgusting so i always drink mineral and bottled.

it depends, when i am in home i drink tap water from the faucet. when i am in a travel a buy bottled water from nearby mart. but no matter whether tap or bottled is must be free from harmful radicals and must purified.
