Frank.. Here where I live, tap drinking water is excellent.. There isn't any problem at all and I think everyone should have access to clean drinking water..
@Steve North Do you have any parameters relating to your water? Source, hardness, dissolved materials, etc? I'm curious. Frank
Frank.. NO.... Other than it being..... wet..... and cold....... I have NO idea as to what kind of water it is... I turn on the tap and drink the water.. I have been doing that for years and I'm NOT dead ........ yet.. We live in the country and the water I get is from the city and NOT well water.. I can't remember anyone up here dying from the water.................... Oh wait................... I remember someone drowning a few years ago in one of the local lakes.. Does that count ????
@Steve North Water is a good suggestion. I drink one cup of coffee in the morning and a few carbonated (no sugar seltzer) a week. I leave a sugar soda for treats or stomach upset. Usually less than once a week. Unless I'm having a bad week like last week. I think I drank 2 or 3 cans. My area has hard water. But I just drink tap water also and bring my own to work in a stainless steel bottle.
@Kitty Carmel There's that stainless steel again! Can't escape it. Not that I would be concerned, though. Frank
I know you have mentioned stainless steel before. Don't know what else to use. If I drop glass like I have that bottle, that's not going to work. Don't want to use plastic. I think I will stay with the stainless steel.
@Kitty Carmel That gym and your use of it might just cure all your problems at least all of them with aches and pains.
Kitty we're the same as you, the water here is VERY hard... although also like you our water is safe to drink straight from the tap.
I agree. I don't need fancy bottled water and don't want those plastic bottles anyway. I just drink tap water. Grateful to have safe water out of the tap.
We don’t buy water to drink either. We do filter it though, and our water might be drinkable without that, but we do not like the smell or taste of it. We did use the water distiller and just drank the distilled water for quite a while, and I think that is probably the best wate to drink; however, it takes several hours for it to distill a gallon of water, and then it has to be refrigerated and stored, and it just seems easier to simply use the water pitcher filter for most of our drinking water. There is also a filter on the ice maker in the refrigerator, so when we get cold water or ice cubes from there, it is filtered, too.
I drink bottled water and we filter our tap water for making coffee, lemonade, or whatever. I would think that Maine would have good-tasting water but the city stuff is bad. Not as bad as what I had in California, but bad. I couldn't even see through a glass of water in California.
My tap water is fine @Ken Anderson ...even drank it for many years but a few years ago I switched to bottled. I use tap for coffee, etc.
When I first moved to California, I was in Pasadena and the water looked like coffee. I didn't even like the way it made my hair smell when I showered. Then I lived in Buena Park, Cypress, Long Beach, and Anaheim, and didn't consider the water to be drinkable in any of these places, although not as discolored as that in Pasadena.
