Title: Do you like tap water?
Post by: camellia0 on August 02, 2018, 08:54:54 pm
Would you drink it or would you buy bottled water. I drink both.

Usually just tap water unless I am out and forgot my water bottle.

No I drink bottled water.  The only time I use tap water is when I make tea then heat it but I don't drink it straight from the faucet.

I drink tap water all the time. I'll never understand why bottled water is supposed to be so much better. I guess if it's been refrigerated and over ice, it will taste good but it's not something I'll go out of my way for.

Would you drink it or would you buy bottled water. I drink both.

So a church I use to go to there was a couple snotty women going all ballistic because they wanted bottled water there.  I told them that they couldn't tell the difference in a taste test Oh yes they could.

SO.... I have two samples of water.  They taste both and swear the one is way better than the other. Sample A it is def the bottle water because it doesn't taste like minerals and a bunch of other non sense.  They sure were P****ed when I told them both samples were from the tap.

Now that was funny!

It could depend on the water.  Some people who have wells have Sulphur water and you can't drink that. But general city or county water is fine. Some people have weak minds and you can convince them of anything.

I drink  tap water at home but have to  put a lot of ice in it. Now I won't drink the tap water at my dad's house as it has way to many minerals in it and taste awful. It is well water and not a real dep well at that, they drink bottled water after years of me getting on to him about it.  When I lived in the  South East part of the state we had  well water that tested out at 99.8 pure. But it was real deep well, which tested out purer then  bottled water. Oh how good it was.  And I sure miss it and our friends.

I drink our city tap water straight from the faucet.  From home and from work.  When we lived out in the country I only drank bottled water though. The water stank nasty... when I boiled my eggs it would turn the shells a shade of orange.  Grosses water and well set up you could imagine.  I wouldn't even cook with the stuff.  Another time I had well water we had a filteration device installed on the water softener... a company had to deliver jugs of hydrogen peroxide every other month or so. Love me some city water.  It's tested regularly and tastes fine to me.

We have a reverse osmosis filtration system so that we don't have to drink our tap water.  When I eat out, I ask for a slice of lemon for my water.

I grew up on well water on the farm and even drank water from the garden hose.

Our water passes the state labs. but really don't taste good. you can cook with it bath with. your choice. I have to be very thirsty. No wonder I rather drink milk or soda or the can veg or fruit water when I was young, parents never bought water that was unthinkable.

Boy, that really depends on the area of the country you are in, whether you have city water or a private well, and what's in your water and how it is treated.  I drink and cook with bottled water.  I live near, but not in, Flint, MI.  Unless you have been living under a rock, you must have heard of the problem there. However, I have a private well.  The problem is I have a very high arsenic content.  In order to treat it I have to get a reverse osmosis system which I have not done yet because I may or may not move in the next several years.  If you have a private well, you need to have it tested probably every 3-5 years!

I used to drink tap water in the midwest. I would take my powerade bottles and fill them up with tap  water and put it in the fridge. it was cold and good :)

I think the tap is okay where I live, but I would prefer not to drink it unless I had no other option. Water that comes through our fridge filter is fine.

I am not a fan of tap water.  The water in my area has too much chlorine in it.  The only way I can drink it is with ice and it has to be very cold.

Our tap water is not fit to drink regularly.  We get a notice on the back of our water bill about every other month stating the water quality test taken three months prior violated the allowable limits of certain contaminates.  This has been going on for years.  I don't know how the state allows it to continue.

No, I do not like tap water at all. We have a well and it is the best tasting water that you will ever find.  When I go to Restaurants, I order water to save money and it is the most awful tasting water. I add Lemons and Sweet N Low to make Lemonade and it tastes so much better that way. :monkey:

No, I didn't like the taste of tap water then I found out, more than half of all bottled water comes from the tap so I put a water filter on the faucet and once I put it in the refrigerator to get cold, I can drink it.

I have well water and it is the best. I don't like tap water if it is city water. I can always taste the chlorine in it and it is nasty. I never ask for water when we go out to eat or anywhere else.
Bottled water doesn't taste as good as my well water, but I will buy it if I'm out and have nothing with me to drink.

I only drink tap water if I drink it at all.   I've ready many articles about how bad bottled water is for you and I don't really like water anyway.  Our water is well water so it's perfectly fine.  My granddaughter visited this summer from AZ and they don't drink their water unless it's filtered so she had a fit about drinking it right from the faucet when she was here.

We are lucky to have good tasting tap water in my area, so that it what I drink about 95% of the time that I drink water (which is probably 90% of what I drink in terms of overall beverage choices). I do drink it through a pitcher filter or through our refrigerator filter, but it is still tap water.

I grew up drinking tap water, but a few years ago, when everyone switched to bottled water, I did the same.  Our tap water tastes fine to me, but I've been conditioned to believe that it is not as good as bottled water. A couple of years ago, I bought a little portable water filter that filters one cup at a time.  It's super convenient to take on trips and as long as I have a container, I can refill it with my filter and I never have to buy a bottle of water.  (I just have to buy new filters every few months.)
