Bottled or Tap? - Page 2

at home I drink tap water. Over here, I drink bottled water. The tap water is... questionable...

Tap water here, even filtered, is horrific. Just tastes like ass (and I'm not talkin clean, fresh ass either). So yeah, I drink bottled water.

At work, we've got some filtration system that's actually pretty okay, so at work I drink that.

why filter? Even if theres shit in it its good for you to expose youself to it in your youth

Growing up on the farm was great. Drank well water straight out of the hydrant. Sometimes we would use the rusty cup that hangs on the hydrant. It was (and still is) the best tasting water ever!

One time I put it in a glass. It was a light yellow/orange color, with things floating. After sitting for awhile, the color had cleared, but there was about 1/4" of "stuff" on the bottom of the glass

Maybe that's why I'm usually healthy, I got all my minerals as a kid

For taste, IMO. Like I said, FL water SUCKS.

Does your water look like this?

I drink tap water.

I saw that picture posted on a forum a week or so ago.

Tap water is better for the environment which is why I drink it. I'm trying to counteract the damage my parents are doing. They come home with 5 cases of water a week.

The real issue is pharmaceuticals in the water supply (probably both tap AND bottled). Britta and the other filter companies have never certified that their filters eliminate pharmaceuticals. In other words......they probably don't.

Yeah, the well water wasn't quite THAT dark.
