What kind of water do you drink?



And don't tell me this is a biased poll, because I know already.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. none

fish fuck in it

[ret5hd]

4. try dihydrogen monoxide

[democracyindanger]

20. Wow. Straight to the point.

That's hilarious.

[trogdor]

2. I hate bottled water.

We have a well and a whole-house filter for the sediment. Our water ROCKS. It's ice cold year-round because it comes from about 160 feet underground.

[StClone]

9. That sound ... AHHHhhhh so refreshing.

Mine comes from 112 feet down. It's high in nitrates, Iron, Manganese and tanic acid. It takes so much filtering to make it look and taste good that it's basically distilled after it comes out the tap...bleeech!

If we drill deeper we hit one hundred feet of super hard basalt high in radiation...yum!

I like Evian, but buy anything cheap.

21. Oh, I'll Bet Your Dentist Just LOVES Your Family!

Well-water families (along with bottled-water, filtered-water families) don't get the added benefit of flouride in the water.

-- Allen

But that stuff is just put in the water for mind-control anyway. :-)

3. Tap because I've got to die from something...

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

5. What is a cheapo water filter vs. an expensive one?

I use a pur pitcher filter. Is that cheapo? I really don't think the filters are all that cheap.

[UdoKier]

7. Not to disparage...

but Pur and the Brita bottles would be the cheapo kind (they are better than straight tap, provided you change the filter regularly.)

There are better filters, they are bigger and go under the sink or on the countertop and get out a lot more contaminants, and the cartridges last longer. They are still much more economical than bottled water.

I'll change the wording to "inexpensive", though - I was just being flip, not trying to insult anyone (except the bottled water drinkers, of course! :evilgrin: )

6. straight tap water, nothing else. I would never pay for bottled.

[ThorsHammer]

8. Same here

[no name no slogan]

10. Tap thru a good filter

Our city water smells bad most of the time, for some reason. Could be our pipes, too, i suppose.

[Beaverhausen]

11. I live where chromium 6 is found in the water. so I drink bottled

sorry if you have a problem with that.

[UdoKier]

14. It's not my problem, it's the environment's problem.

It's not just the millions of tons of plastic battled water wastes, the increased promotion of bottled water has been a deliberate way for companies like Bechtel to change the perception of water as being a part of the public commons to being a commodity. This helps in their efforts to privatize all water supplies and then gouge often very poor people for it.

There is a lot of info out there about this, I hope you'll take the time to educate yourself about it.


If your area really has contaminants that absolutely cannot be filtered, I'd hope you would at least opt for the huge jug system rather than buying tons of the little bottles...

[Beaverhausen]

22. If its OK with you - I buy 2.5 gallon jugs and recycle them

OK? Do I meet your standards?

:eyes:

19. My folks drink bottled water too.

Where they live, the tap water tastes just like lake water. It's horrible.

[Squatch]

12. At home, distilled (in 1 gal jugs) water.

When travelling, ROWP bottled.

[Rainbowreflect]

13. 98% distilled.

I would say it's the only water I drink, have it at work & home, but I realize I sometimes drink water other places.

[Squatch]

16. I've just recently started drinking it since my wife is pregnant.

Before that, I would just drink tap water.

[Floogeldy]

15. Brita, filtered in a pitcher

Its a lot better than tap.

[Richardo]

17. Well water from 300 feet down...

:9

Crystal clear from the tap. They's GOOD things about living in Texas sometimes. (and no, we're not near any petrochemical plants.)

[Left Is Write]

18. Mostly tap water. It's adequate, neither great nor lousy.

Sometimes bottled water when I'm out and about.
