What water do you drink at home?

[ana7887]

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?

Tap, in a glass fridge jug.

Have a filter on the tap water & also a chilled water /ice dispenser in the fridge/freezer. As we are working at reducing microplastics in our diet we never have plastic bottled water.

do you try letting your tap water stand in jugs before you drink it? that can reduce the chlorine taste markedly

Tap. But we live in a soft water area and the tap water barely has any taste. Have lived in other parts of the country where I considered bottled water.

Council juice. Usually fizzed in the SodaStream.

Tap water. Scottish tap water is the best water on the planet.

Tap but use a brita filter jug in fridge as I prefer my water nice and cold.

Water from plastic bottles can’t be good for you, won’t it contain microplastics?

Thames finest

i’m in a country where it’s not advised to drink the tap water- locals do but we have a bottled water dispenser

Tap and bought sparkling. I keep meaning to get a filter jug. Our tap water is disgusting and very hard - furs up kettles and irons so fast.

Ha, early 90s here, we still had the bowser, that did the tanks for toilets / bathroom taps. We were mains plumbed by then due to a fancy new
desalination plant. Is was hot water, the pipes needed to be a lot lower!

for drinking we had this big filter jugs that gave us chilled mains water. Big improvement.

Meant to say, back in England we use tap water and I use it for my Sodastream, was getting serious plastic guilt.

Tap usually, but I occasionally get a bottle of something like SMART water.

Tap. North west so it’s lovely. Do notice the difference elsewhere

Tap, but we use a Brita water filter. We always fill bottles to keep on the fridge at this time of year.

I can't believe that in this country (assuming you're in the UK) you have safe, clean drinking water in your tap and yet you buy bottles. Apart from the environmental issues, doesn't it cost a fortune?

Tap water.
Yes, we live in a hard water area.
No, we don’t have a water softener or filter.
Yes, I use supermarket own branded bottled water in my coffee machine because I don’t want to break it as our water is SO hard.
I have a Brita kettle for the same reason.

Tap water. Couldn’t do bottles to that extent

Tap water, or bottled fizzy water.

What's a rack of bottled water?

The OP reads like one of the many one post wonders so I'm guessing she won't come back but pleasing to see that pretty much everyone is drinking tap water

Corporation pop .

Who the heck has water delivered? Unless you are like pp and living in a very dry country or the odd occasion when the uk has problems with its supply/ pipes or the rare older houses that still have lead pipes that would be madness.

Can you imagine the uproar that there would be if the gov / council said we are no longer going to supply water good enough for drinking so you will have to buy bottled water at your own expense but we are still going to charge you the same water rates.
People would throw a hissy fit , and yet here we are doing just that voluntary !

Tap. We live in a very soft water area and it tastes of nothing at all. I used water filter jugs when I lived in an area where tap water was quite heavily chlorinated.

Filtered tap
