Where do you get your drinking water?

[longboy]

Have one of those RO taps built into the kitchen sink.

But failing that I just let it stand overnight or even boil it before putting it in the fridge.

Cannot stand warm water.

Reverse Osmosis water, I'm not too sure about that. It tastes too bland and terrible for me.

Have a look at this as well:

As long as the chlorine ****s off I couldn’t care less.

I doubt water gives anyone enough nutritional value to do much of anything in the first place.

Other - WTF drinks water?

RO water. I live on the East Rand I can't risk the tap water! The cats prefer tap water though. Weird bustards....

 

[SAguy]

Tap, then through filter, not RO though, then into soda stream. I only drink sparkling water

 

[Wary GOM]

Own borehole, through reverse osmosis filter. Dogs prefer borehole water from the tap or even water around bases of plant pots; just like @lowriderza says, weird bustards.

After two trips to an ER from drinking tap water, once in Dirtbin and once in Cape Town, yes it is safe 98% of the time, I was the lucky 2%. I now buy the same tap water which has been RO, not sure price per litre as I buy all my cooking/drinking water for the month. But its not expensive.

Own borehole. Filtered and softened. RO system for cooking and drinking. Municipal water blocked by stop valve installed inside the premise.

Where do you get your drinking water? Are you a fan of the tap, do you prefer bottled mineral water, or is reverse osmosis (RO) your water of choice?

Filtered tap water. But not RO. RO removes everything including essential minerals and you end up "dead" water.

I use RO to make beer.

really?

just feels wrong to be using additives to restore RO water to some state that makes decent beer ... you surely don't brew with vanilla / plain RO right? ... right?!?

 

[AchmatK]

Plumbed into my house from 3m underground. No filtration needed and always available when needed.

I see no one is using UV light for virus/bacteria removal.

Is that this taps with the blue light? Thought it was cosmetic only...

I forgot to add. I have an in tank uv light. It hangs inside my 5 000l water tank.

 

[AchmatK]

Got me this one.

It's usually one of the "stages" in the filter system:

Brother in law uses UV light to filter borehole water for drinking.

 

[backstreetboy]

Normal tap water from the fridge. Bottled water is just a money making scheme.

Borehole water and pressurised filtration.
