People who buy bottled water are fish at life.

First, try not to be leveled so easily. Second, I have a little gamble.

That's just not true. There are many differences in bottled water. Many of them are just municipal water. Many of them are just municipal water ran through carbon filtration, which just removes tastes, odors, chlorine sometimes lead and so forth. Then, you can move on to reverse osmosis water and so forth. There are some very high quality waters like Aquafina for example. Making tea or coffee with just about anyone here's tap water and aquafina water will show the difference immediately. For those of you just lumping all bottled waters together, that's a stupid mistake. For example, most of you probably have better city water out of your taps than Evian water. They're not all created equal. I don't do bottled water or the 5 gallon jugs; however, I do have a Reverse Osmosis system in my house. I have city water. I'd have that for city water or well water.

Well Water: A straw in the hole in the ground tapped into an aquifer that's flowing from God knows where. If I poured your orange juice in the dirt and let it run through the ground into your plumbing, how excited would you be to drink it in the morning?

City Water: Sure, they have to have it meet certain criteria that, imo, is not strict enough for drinking purposes. But hey, like 0.5% of the water they make is used for consumption anyway. It's not cost effective or logical to treat it for consumption. And, they measure on averages for the day. So, the water might be over a Contaminant level in the a.m. but you test 4 more times in the day and the average goes down, you're ok. Furthermore, they're testing in the facility. How about going through all the 100 year old pipes for miles to get to your house? there's one town about 30 minutes from me that still has wooden city water pipes that are rotten all to crap loses millions of gallons a month. You ever see a city water main break? Looks like crap. How about I go down the street a couple miles, throw in a noodle, let it run through all those crappy pipes, go through your mucked up plumbing and through your crappy aerator on your faucet and have you eat it?

Whatever. It's not for me. I treat my drinking water. It takes better to me. Coffee and Tea don't even compare when made with better what. Peace of Mind....etc, etc.

You can get yourself a simple TDS meter and see the differences in the bottles of water. I wish the people that always run their mouth about it would do this.

The NY water is so good one former mayor (maybe Giuliani) considered bottling it and selling it.

[/ QUOTE ]
In Houston, they actually did sell tap water from bottles. The agency that makes water down there just took their normal supply, put it in jugs and slapped a "City of Houston" label on it. I got the impression that they were leveling all of us, but the water was available in stores.

Your obviously not in that camp. Honestly go taste well water. Go taste water from a cities who tap water doesn't taste good (much of Florida) as an example. I don't think buying Fiji water is the answer but some sort of filter probally is.

[capone0]

So tap water from Houston and NY is good. What does this prove? Tap water from many cities is terrible. In those cities I think it would be alright to filter or buy bottled water. Your points are pretty weak.

2. I pay $0.15 a bottle - Cost

[/ QUOTE ]
I really have trouble believing $0.15 is a savings over the cost of tap. For all the gallons and gallons of water we use every month, the water bill is like $30, and one of your arguments is that your 16 ounces runs 15 cents?

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess you missed the part where I said it comes bottled. I can pull one out of the fridge that's nice and cool and already bottled for my consuming pleasure. That's easily worth $0.15 a bottle.

Plus when I toss it in my recyscle bin it goes to some recycle plant where someone has to sort it and recycle it. So, I'm also providing jobs, for the low, low price of $0.15 a bottle.

Btw, did I mention that you buy it in it's own individually packaged bottle?
