Bottled Water or Tap Water?

[soxmuscle]

Since upping my water intake about ten times what it once was at, my family has no longer been able to afford or have no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on payed for poland spring or ice mountain.

Instead we bought a water machine that you just put tap water in and it purifies it for you.

I sometimes use the water machine, but alot of the time I'll just use tap, especially when I refill my bottles at school throughout the day.

So without further ado...

EDIT: This is not what you prefer, because anyone in there right mind would choose the bottled water. This is more so, what you drink. Thanks.

I drink tap. Why the fuck should I pay for water?

i live in toronto, i get 24, 500 ml bottles for about 6 bucks. Only reason why i use them is because its great to dispose of the bottles after you finish with them, and popout another instead of finding and fighting a water fountain for a refill.

btw couple weeks ago a 11 or 12 year old girl died from poision from a plastic water bottle. She had used that very water bottle for about 8 months and as the plastic got old, certain chemicals entered the water and eventually she got poisioned and died :S. So throw out your water bottles as soon as your done with them, or use plastic bottles for long term use.

 

[soxmuscle]

Wow, I never knew that. Before I had boughten my bottles, I was using empty gatorade bottles for my three bottles I brought to school.

Very sad.

I thought that plastic lasted 100 years before any change to their composition.

my guess is, it wasn't the plastic that changed, but the germs and such from not washing the bottle and just reusing it daily.

love tap...from most places at least

I bought a pur water purififer thingy that attaches to the tap from sams club. Works awesome. Filters last about a month and a half. I just fill up some gallon jugs and keep em in the fridge.

I live in Toronto and have been drinking tap water for years. And i am still alive... sane and healthy!!

She probably didnt wash to bottle for the 8 months she used it.

Do you know that if the label does NOT specify the spring source, then it is actually Tap water that is being bottled? In which case you are paying for bottled tap water!! e.g. the 'Dasani' brand made by Coca-Cola.

I say bottled for 1 reason and you'll all understand why . I live near the city and , Im actually just out of the city and we have a well where I live. I would drink the water no problem , but it tastes weird and it has a slight egg smell . I cook with it no problem , its perfectly safe to drink , but I just dont like the taste. So I have a machine with those 18L water bottle. I go throught 2-3 of those bottles a week

i use brita tap water tastes like goat piss, but brita tastes like nothing.

 

[CowPimp]

Tap water contains traces of every single chemical we use. Unfortunately, I'm often forced to drink it at work, or drink no water at all. However, at home, I drink only spring water. It tastes better on top of that, at least in my opinion.

 

[Tha Don]

i also use the brita water filter, the water in my area is undrinkable without it!

Yeah, same here. Though I have seen some water coming out of taps in areas of Toronto which just made me pour it down the sink. Most places are fine...probably had more to do with pumbing than the water.

Yeah, I heard about this as well. Actually, there is a pretty larger percentage of bottled water out there which is just filtered tap water. Dasani drives me nuts. I can't stand the taste of it for some reason. The process is mind boggling, though. They demineralize the water, and filter it, THEN they re-mineralize it before bottling.

There needs to me a "both" option. I usually bring a bottled water to work every day, but fill it five or six times with tap water throughout the day. If I drank bottled water all the time, I'd be broke.

And yes, I have to take a piss right now.

That's good to know. I'll be in Vegas for a week next September and I'll make sure not to drink tap water (my first trip to Vegas).

A both option, I thought, would have gotten all the votes. I think its pretty office that anyone would prefer bottled to tap, so I just wanted a flat out what you drink more of.

Growing up in the Islands,in alot of places we didn't have running water,The water we drank and used was Rain water that is collected from running off the roofs and drain into a huge cement container,and I never seen the inside,but those things are old..older than I am.BUt we would use it for everything.So I use tap water.I remember sometimes there would be stuff in the water,my dad was like "drink it or pick it out,no waste the water" cause you know when summer comes...no rain and we gotta conserve the water.But when it did rain you would see everybody outside with buckets and collecting water and showering.

 

[sgtneo]

Be sure to take a good look at your bottled water. Reverse Osmosis Filtration is supposed to be the purest you can get (short of distilled). Carbon Filtration is mainly to remove any chemical taste. "Oxygenated" water is total bullshit. and some of the bottled water suppliers use stright tapwater.
