I never drink unfiltered and unboiled tapwater and buy bottled water. My main reason is that I dislike the smell and taste of chlorine that is used to purify the water. I would rather take my chances with the bacteria (natural) than the chemicals and hormones (unnatural). Spring water hasn't already been consumed and excreted by another human... http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/jun/02/water-system-toxic-contraceptive-pill Sonovabich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really easy can you use a spanner ? if so no problem mate the inline ones are the easy ones to fit, just empty out your cupboard and it fits inline you may have to remove a section of copper pipe to fit it but its pretty easy and to change the filters is just a quick twist and pull. The water auto shuts off when the filter is removed so no leaks.. Its a good idea and will save you money in the long run.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I only buy bottled water for convenience and so I don't have to clean my water bottle after usage. Your lifespan is Genetic, water is H2O, so why even worry about it, do whatever you want... you'll die eventually anyhow, get back to gaming.

Buy a reverse osmosis filtration system from around $100 (US). It's a filtration system that can quite literally turns sea water into drinking water. You can also buy de-chlorinator drops at your local pet store. One drop per gallon and "poof" the chlorine is instantly gone and it's safe for humans. We buy bottled water for the convenience, not the taste. My kids take a bottle in their lunches and we'll grab a few bottles if we're taking a long drive. Other than that, it's tap water and ours tastes great. I have several thousand dollars of salt water fish, corals and other ocean critters that are swimming in straight tap water right now in my aquarium that has been de-chlorinated and salt added. If they can handle it so can my family. Leadfinger and baldie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The water here is very hard. On its own it tastes mildly bad, but not horrible. East-side Madison water was worse. I generally don't detect a bad smell or chlorine in our water, but I did around the last time they reported slightly elevated, but still safe, biological contamination. The double filtration cut through that and left the water tasting nice. I do think charcoal filtering imparts a pleasant taste to the water. I love the first few pitchers of water right after replacing the filters. That new filter taste does fade after about a week or so, and I replace the filters about every 2 months. baldie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

After seeing & meeting the morons that run our water department, I ran tests on the tap water available. PH off the scale & harder than a witches' tit. Really? Be advised, if you value your health, you'll look into things and take no one's word for the "quality" of your drinking water. And the Illinois EPA isn't to be relied upon as a quality inspector. Asked for a plant inspection, and they had the vendor that's responsible do an inspection on themselves. Wow, wish I could grade my own paper. Bottom line, it's your health, and the health of your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

As Baldie suggested installing an inline filter system is easy and very low cost compared to buying bottled water. Because the Bafoons that run our water district are unable to operate a brand new system to produce good NON tasting water 2 of my neighbors and I are seeking election to the board (5 member board, 3 seats available, 3 people running = slam dunk) Changes are coming to this towns water . . . . .
