do you buy bottled water?
only when travelling
shareI buy 1 gallon jugs because it doesn't gunk up my coffee machine like tap water and I don't want to drink fluoride. I also use bottles, but always make it a priority to recycle them.

Sometimes when I am out I will buy a bottle of water.
shareYes. Who drinks tap water? There could be a dead body floating in the reservoir.. just sayin
shareYep, along with puke, pee, and poop that at one time was floating in that water before it went through the filtration system where you live.
shareBottled water and tap water come from the same reservoirs. 🤣
shareBottled water comes from a variety of sources, including many of the same sources as tap water. Sometimes the water you can buy in a bottle is simply public tap water that has been enhanced in some way, such as changing the mineral content. Other sources of bottled water include springs, wells, and surface waters.
shareWell I'm sure they filter the water before bottling it. But if Department of Water also filters the water. And many of us have home filters on our tap water. Honestly, it's all the same stuff. I don't see the benefits of most bottled water over tap water.
shareDasani is just tap water.
shareOccasionally when I'm traveling and frequently when I have parties, but at home I drink tap water with a filter on the faucet.
shareSame here. I have a PUR water filter attached to the tap. It's so much cheaper than buying all that bottled water, and you don't have all those empty plastic containers polluting the environment.
shareI work outside and our water source there is not reliable for drinking so I go through about 2 cases a week in the summer.
shareYes. I buy Crystal Geyser brand water by the gallon. I also drink lots of Perrier.
shareVery rarely. I hate the bottled water industry. Nestle gets the water for practically nothing, but there are still places in both Canada and the US who don't have drinking water??? Yeah. It needs to be a situation where I can't get water from a tap. At home my fridge water is filtered, and even when I'm hiking or camping and they don't have potable water, I have a lifestraw so I can drink it anyway.
sharedo you trust those lifestraw filters?
shareFor the most part. I mean I wouldn't stick it in sewer water. Nor would I drink from the Ganges with it, but I've certainly used it camping and hiking quite a bit. It doesn't filter salt water, heavy metals or chemicals, but it does filter e-coli, and other bacteria.
