What water do you drink at home?

What water do you drink at home? Do you buy bottled water? Do you have a filter system? Do you have water delivery arranged?
With two active boys I noticed that lately we go through racks of bottled water and looking to change to either water filter like virgin or water2 or get a water dispenser. I haven’t done any research yet on any filters but worry if we install any it wouldn’t change how tap water tastes and we will still need to buy bottles.
Has anyone installed filter and happy with it after at least a year of use?

Just from the tap. Sometimes I use a Brita filter and fill bottles to keep in the fridge. About to start that again as it does taste a bit nicer.

When we moved into this house I really didn’t like the taste of the water but I’m ok with it now.

We are in a very hard water area.

Tap. Much healthier, safer and eco friendly. Water is stored in plastic bottles for years.

I have a water2 filter attached and it makes life so much easier than previously filtering. For £100 a year to get rid of the crap it’s fine. You can taste the difference.

We have filtered water on tap…. But my kids can help but drink the water from the shower! It makes me shudder! It’s all lead pipes everywhere. We are planning to remove them when we do our ground floor renovation

Tap. We put a big jug in the fridge so it's always chilled. I wouldn't regularly buy bottled water because of the plastic waste.

Tap - put it into a bottle that lives in the fridge as I like very cold water.

Topseyt123 · 22/07/2025 10:23

There's plenty of water in the tap. It's safe to drink so why buy bottled water, which is terrible for the environment because of the huge amount of plastic waste?

randoname · 22/07/2025 10:24

Tap of course.

Tap water, if I'm feeling fancy it goes in the soda stream for a bit of fizz. Nice tasting water here in the south west though.

18yrs in central London- tap water

last 2yrs out of London- tap water via a filter which was part of a water softener system we installed when renovating

Town hall water, also known as tap. Keep bottle in fridge so always cool.
