Title: Just good old water ?
Post by: sbenkoski on April 05, 2018, 09:58:57 am
I'm so bless to have a sand point well and have wonderful water out of my tap! I feel sorry for all who have to buy water! Do you have to buy water to drink ? If i'm traveling I buy bottled water. I once drank bad water and it caused havoc on my life and body for over a year.  Do you drink spring water or purified ? "if you buy it or what ever is on sale"

I have a water filter on my tap... but water is okay to drink out of the tap here without it.
But lately, I have been hearing that certain hormones get into our drinking water that can't be filtered out, so you're drinking hormones from birth control bills that people pee out that gets into our water supply. 

I have been buying this water from Ralphs that is part of their organic line & the water is distilled, & it doesn't have a chemical taste.  So I have been trying to make sure my kids, at least, don't have to drink the water from the tap.  A couple of my neighbors get those big Sparklett water jugs delivered several times a month, I think I might go that route shortly.

I drink either bottled water or boil tap water to be safe.

We drink bottled water all the time but I do use tap water to make tea and for cooking.  I just don't trust our little town to provide good, safe water anymore.  We buy bottled that has been filtered by reverse osmosis; supposedly best for you.

:rose: :rainbow: :rose: I drink both tap and bottled water. I do know that bottled water has a better taste than tap to me. Road trips I buy bottled for sure, easier to get a good container, that doesn't spill as easy!  :rose: :rainbow: :rose:

I buy cases of purified water because spring taste funny. I'm a water drinker and keep it in every room of the house and in all the cars.  I use tap water for cooking.

There is a spring about two hours from my house.  That's where I get my water.  I am actually going in the morning.  I get about 65 gallons each time I go.  I cook with it too.  When I travel I get bottled water.  The one with the highest ph level.

I purchase my water. I DO NOT trust the quality of the water that comes from my tap. Being from the East Coast, I usually buy Poland Spring water. But since I have relocated (temporarily) to the West Coast, I usually purchase the local brands or Dasani or Aquafina.

Hello! :D :)

I'm so happy for you that you don't have to buy water, I, unfortunately, have to buy water. I currently am working on drinking more water as I'm getting sick from not drinking enough water. I will do it though for my health, have a great day. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

Purchase water.  Wish we didn't have to but like others i don't trust what is coming from my faucet.   I do use it to make tea but it's being boiled before drinking.  So sad.   Wish we had a well.

When I drink water, it's from a 1 gallon container most of the time, but there are times I did drink water from the kitchen faucet.

I live very near the Great Lakes (one mile away) and our city water comes from there. We still filter it, but it tastes the same as the bottled water you buy at the store (which we do have on hand for road trips or local outdoor outings).  On several occasions and in many different locations I've had the tap water inland just an hour south of here and it all tastes nasty compared to what we have here.


I do buy distilled water at the store a gallon at a time to use in a CPAP humidifier, but never use it for drinking. I could, but really have no reason to.

We are lucky to have public water and it is soft.  We have a filter on the tap sink and it tastes really good!
