What is your primary source of drinking water?

[Dimpie (JIGSAW)]

Straight from the tap and then I add bubbles

 

[Herr der Verboten]

7 stage filtered rain water

Not 72?

Normal Tap water, water is decent where I stay.

We have lime in our borehole water. Just have to soak things like shower head and kettle element in vinegar for a while from time to time and then you're good to go.

I thought hard water is also bad for the pipes? .. I had to install a softener for my borehole water

We havent had any pipe issues to speak of. Which is not to say they can't be busy clogging up.

It does build up in pipes, but quite slowly. It's a lot worse for things like your geyser element, kettle and other appliances that heat water.

Tap

 

[FiestaST]

At least no one said "tab".

Same okes who call it a "handbreak".

Aquazania

Same. My family had a dispenser and we were collecting Oasis water bottles, but then heard that Aquazania does deliveries and switched to them ... nicer dispenser, better tasting water, and home delivery for the same monthly price. Talk about a no-brainer.

I get Woolworths still natural spring water delivered in the 4x5L boxes.

Do you add this to your order as well?

derailing the thread.
have you had any issues with the bottles opening very easily?
Almost feels like they were not closed completely.

 

[OutlawJoseyWales]

Pick n Pay has a system where you bring your own 5L bottles and fill them up from a large tanker of the same water you get in bottled water. Much cheaper than buying bottled water. Then I also buy fizzy water which I drink a lot.

 

[DHimself]

I live in Durbanville and hit the H2O straight from the faucet. But I grew up in JHB and remember drinking straight from the hosepipe, on those warm days you let the first bit of water through to cool the pipe, then you gooi. I swear that was the most refreshing water ever.

The house was built 35 years ago. I've been here for 23.

 

[Heisenborg]

Jhb water been steadily getting worse. You can still drink from the tap but once you pass it through a filter you realize how kuk it was. I use a tabletop filter

So if I don't add salt in my softener for 2 months then my pipes would be fine?
