Tap or Bottled ?

(1/3) > >>

tp4tissue:
So.... they be like, yo Tp4, bottled water's got _Leeching_ of petro-chemicals.

But if you look at civil engineering water (mains) pipes, they're metal, BUT, with a plastic inner liner.



Thoughts ?

Shapey Fiend:
The tap water quality is pretty good where I am so I'm fine with that.

To be honest I very rarely drink water anyway I just have a few mugs of tea a day.

noisyturtle:
Plastic creates waste and costs money, but tap tastes like ****.
The age old conundrum.

I've always wanted to get one of those big fancy countertop purifiers they have in water stores, but then you are buying expensive filter sets every few months for a unit that already costs $500

Shapey Fiend:
I live in a hard water area so it tastes good I guess? Water tastes like water to me.

Now if I'm on holiday in Singapore or something I ain't drinking the tap water. If it's been through 6 or 7 peoples bodies already I'll take my chances with the microplastics, which are probably already in the tap water anyway.

Faceman76:
I have a filter on my tap that makes the water taste okay.  At work we have a fancy reverse osmosis filtration system with a built in heater(perfect for tea or coffee press).  I've been meaning to pick up an under the counter reverse osmosis setup for home and will get to it eventually.
