Do you buy/ drink bottled water? I can't seem to make myself drink tap water so I either filter it or drink bottled water.
-
I am a chemist and I know for fact that filters can only filter the solid residue in water but nothing more
although they all claims that this water system can give you 100% pure water and there is no such thing for real
even bottled water is not 100% pure
and I Live in new Orleans the water here taste horrible so I have to buy bottled water to drink and I don't use tap water at all only in laundry, showers,.. etc I even buy water gallons to cook and make coffee with
-
Yes, I buy bottled. I haven't tried filters, but I do drink tap water from time to time too.
-
I found the online video called "tapped"quite helpful, myself. I use a water pitcher that filters out fluoride and all the rest of the chemicals. The ones you can put on your faucet don't last very long.
-
I drink filtered water out of my refrigerator and also buy bottled water, although I don't drink that very often. Honestly, I'm too addicted to soda!
-
We use bottled water to take with use to town , and filterd for when we are home.
-
Water I am more of a beer whiskey kind of guy lol
-
I prefer bottled too, but in actuality, tap is better for you. The chlorine kills more bacteria.
-
I like bottled water.
-
Really? You know that there are bottled water companies that take their water straight out of the tap. It is the same thing. It is all in your head.
-
Some put minerals in it, and it sometimes makes the bottled water taste bad. That's why I drink tap water.
-
We have sulfur water, so we have to buy bottled water for drinking. (Unless you like to drink rotten eggs!) I miss being able to just drink water right out of the tap, like I did when I was growing up, in Connecticut, where the water is actually drinkable. The more places I travel to, the more I realize that there are a lot of parts of this country that don't have good drinking water.
-
i dont like tap water so i get water bottles. also we have a water system in the house.
-
I drink tap water when i make drinks like tea with it, but I just can't drink it by itself. It seems weird but i just don't like it so I always buy bottled water.
-
Nah....I've heard that sometimes, the things in bottled water can be even worse than what would be found in your tap. I'm not a big water-drinker to begin with, I prefer soda or iced tea, but my iced tea is the kind you mix in a pitcher with water, and I've always used tap for that.
-
Unless you live in an area where the water is really bad, generally tap and bottled are the same....so, no need to waste your money on bottled water...
-
I prefer bottled water because it has been filtered. Tap water is not safe unless you boil it before drinking it.
-
I definitely do not like tap water. It has a very different taste than bottled water! Bottled water is filtered and completely safe! I do not suggest anyone to drink tap water.
-
Yes, we buy bottled water because the water where we live is scary. It has a faintly bad smell and taste and there is a fernary next door where I know the guy dumps stuff into the ground so I avoid drinking it. Also the house where I did live (and my sons still live) has "city" water and to me, you might as well just take a big swig of bleach as it is extremely clorinated. Once my mom saw on tv that bottled water is as bad or worse than tap water, but I will still take my chances on bottled water.
-
I believe bottled water is a waste of money and resources. Think of the plastic bottles, the transporting of the plastic bottles. There is no guarantee of the purity of the water in the plastic bottles. I believe filtered tap water is the safest.
-
we drink bottled water our town well is awful
-
I drink bottled water at work. The water there is terrible tasting and there is stuff floating in it. At home we have the one in the fridge so I just get water and ice from there.
