bottled water or tap water...

[Tyler]

Tap water that is run through the filter in my fridge.  If I do buy bottled water, I buy Crystal Geyser since it uses the water I drank growing up.

[Adam]

I too will buy bottled water, then refill it with tap water at home, then throw it in the fridge.  Bottled water of choice would be Poland Springs...most commonly found on the east coast, but I have been fortunate enough to have a store in town that carries it.

I dont spend the money on bottled water.  Who is to say that it isnt jsut fresh from a tap?  The bottled water manufacturers arent regulated.  What gets me is back when my grandparents were little...they would drink water from the rain puddles if needed....heck they all survived to be ripe old ages of 90-95.  But now that we have our heads screwed on right ....we have all these "Healthy" things to intoxicate our bodies with...and live to be 70....if that.  Doesnt sound right does it?   I will just stick with the tap water. 

Timmayy!

I'm with TimmJ, why spend for it if you don't have to...Although I travel a lot for work and bottled water comes in handy on the road..

[Timmay]

Mojim thats why you do what everyone else does.....keep a bottle and fill er up evertime.  I have several in the fridge now....sometimes they are empty pepsi bottles....i just like refridgerator cold water..instead of cold tap water.

i prefer bottled spring water over tap water.  since bottled water was introduced, i rarely drink tap water anymore.

Warhawk, does your water have the rotten egg smell? We have a office in J'ville that smells awful, and one of the guys told me alot of Florida water systems have that smell. 
Anyway, for the question, I recently rebuilt my Kitchen and have a filter on every thing in there. So I drink it from the tap. I will say I bought the line filters that remove parasites as well. I have a friend that knows somebody, so the system itself was really cheap after the scratch and dent reduction

Filtered or bottled, baby !!!

I remember as a kid drinking tap water.....but it sorta gives me the jeebie heebies now.

The water in our town is terrible and our water dept is corrupt, having been caught manipulating water reports years ago.  Supposedly they're extra careful now because of the scandal, but I still don't trust them.   

Back in the 60's a company was dumping solvents (from manufacturing co's all around the country) into an unlined lagoon and it polluted town wells ... then the big cover-up.  They finally shut down the company around 1990 but the cleanup will go on for years.

So, we get Poland Springs water (from Maine) delivered to our doorstep ....

That sounds like the bottled water companies doing a little funding of an "AP" investigation to combat all of the positive press that tap water is getting.

Even if it is a legitimate investigation, water contains many natural minerals which are also the base products for many pharmaceutical products, so it doesn't shock me that some traces of various pharmaceuticals show up.

Before I get too worried about it, I'd like the investigation to move further into how these drugs actually got into the water.
