Which one do you use.. I use tap only because I believe it is better for you.. Bottled water dose not have Floride in it and is causing cavities in kids 2-5 years old.. If their teeth decay to soon they will have lots of problems with their adult teeth... I acually get filtered water from my fridge, and make my coffee with regular tap water...

Tap, alot of the bottled water come from around these parts anyway.

Tap!

Tap water, I am not paying for water by the bottle, that is just silly!

We use bottled water here since the chlorine is just to high in the tap water

mines a 50/50, at the house fridge water, tap water with one of those PUR filters on it, but some of my friends houses, ya deff want to drink bottled water, at which point its Fiji water first, then zepherhills(drink it warm and you will tell the difference)

I have a filter on my fridge and when I'm home thats what I drink. Now when I'm at my office its usally Aquafina 100% of the time.

Tap, mine come straight out of the ground.

Tap, Lousville Water Company has consistantly ranked in the top 5 in the country for cleanest tap water. Great taste, smell(none:) ) very clear

Standard issue county provided tap water.

Tap water in bottles, no one ever figures it out, LOL!

x2 -- Our tap water here is excellent. I have a Brita pitcher in the fridge in the summer, simply to have colder water available.

We have/drink both. Mostly tap with a Britta filter at home but we keep bottles in the garage fridge for taking in the car or when we're working out in the yard. At work, we have a water cooler.

at home tap water whick is right from the well ,at work I bring a couple of bottles that I fill up at home.

Tap water up here, but we got a filter that helps. My little brother says he has seen info stating facts that some of the bottled water is actually just tap water in a bottle. I can't believe that people actually spend lots of money on it. The only time I would ever buy it is if I am thirsty on a road trip.

Over here, the water is so bad that even the filters don't get everything out of the tap water.

I cannot drink tap water. It's so dry round here.

Tap... unfiltered... if we filter it the filter plugs up too fast we have so much iron in the water, little minerals never hurt anyone :hm:

Tap water in bottles, no one ever figures it out, LOL!

Same here. :D

I buy bottled water when I`m out.I thought that was dumb at first,but it`s dumber to drink soda or flavored high fructose water (tea/juice drinks) and no one questions paying for that.Bottled water won`t lead you into diabetes.We have really good water here (well) and guys that drink from my cooler on jobs always comment on how good it is.Most of those guys drink that chlorinated city water...YUCK!
As for as lacking flohride in bottled water,that`s where pills come in.

bottled, sometimes in cans. that's the only way to get Miller. although I wouldn't mind having a tap on the sink.

tap water....filtered through the fridge.

....My little brother says he has seen info stating facts that some of the bottled water is actually just tap water in a bottle.....

That part's true for some bottled water companies. I know up here two that come to mind are Aquafina (Pepsi) and Dasani (Coca Cola) are both glorified tap water. They would be different taps the water comes out of but I'm sure it's the same for the US on these two was well. I'm sure there are tons more with all the "me-too, me-too" brands trying to get in on the bottled water gig. :crazy: <---actually, that's for the consumers....the companies themselves are are smart! (or maybe there's just a lot of suckers) :lol:

depends on where i am.. home, well water.. out bottled.
as for floride, many states are removing it from their water systems, New York being one.. to much floride is not good either.. not trying to start a debate, but I have had 2 total cavities in my life and do not take floride pills etc.. my kids who use floride paste, and pills etc all have more then that already.. so the whole no floride teeth fall out arguement is goofy imho..

anyway back to water.. home well, out bottled.

My well is fed from a aquifer that is supplied from the Rocky Mountain runoff, I love my well water, un filtered.

Tap water here.
Ohio has a gigantic natural resource in the Great Miami Aquifer, a source of underground water filtered through layers of glacial till and limestone. The flavor is clean , crisp and tastes like ....WATER!!!!!
My nephew living with us is from Houston and he says he wants to take our water home with him when he goes back in June.

He used to buy bottled water and i told him,"Hey we use that to wash our trucks with"!

we use filtered tap for cooking and drinking but supplement it with occasional poland spring and deer park bottled water

When I'm at work only 'God Bless America' water for me! :haha: The water tastes bad around here- I think it comes out of the drainage ditch coming from Mexico. :lol:

Well water.. my wife filters it, I drink it right out of the tap. Does taste any worse than other water I have ever tasted including city water. Health wise I dont know, maybe its eating my insides out.. Wife has lived out here all her life with no problems so I think I am fine. Just worried all the new neighbors are going to drain out water level in a hurry and that we are going to have to redrill..

St. Louis area has excellant tap water. On the news this morning there was a story about how the number of cavaties has been on the rise in children since the bottled water craze, since tap water has flouride and bottled does not.

Tap which is broken down futher to include..... city and well water. I grew up on well water, and there is nothing like!

Bottled for the bottles.we use about a case a month.I refill from the refrigerated filtered tap.I couldn't afford bottled all the time.I drink 1 1/2 gals a day in winter and up to 3 gals daily summer.No I do not have diabetes,my doctor has the same question when she does my blood work twice a year.I just tell her(the Doc) what I have been telling them for the last 10 years.I'm trying to drink more water like the docs have always told me.They ask if I'm that thirsty.Not really it's just a habit they suggested.

I refuse to pay more for water than for gasoline.

Which one do you use.. I use tap only because I believe it is better for you.. Bottled water dose not have Floride in it and is causing cavities in kids 2-5 years old.. If their teeth decay to soon they will have lots of problems with their adult teeth... I acually get filtered water from my fridge, and make my coffee with regular tap water...

Look at what it says on the back of fluoridated toothpaste...call poison control if swallowed but it’s ok to drink water with fluoride added. Doesn’t make sense to me. Since fluoride is a poison, I'll pass. If it's good for your teeth, and there's excellent scientific data proving that it’s not, I’d rather have my teeth rotted out than my insides poisoned.

Tap/filtered. We have a fridge with a water filter on it, that what we use for drinking water. For cooking/coffee etc, its tap. I remember when we had just gotten the well drilled, drinking cool water from it, straight through a hose. Man, that was good water x2.

Straight out of the well.

A few years ago I was one of those guys that laughed at folks who payed for bottled water.
I've changed my ways.Bottled water tastes alot better than tap water around here (in town).

Bottled water is a tasteless entity that we have convinced ourselves that we need. Take it and compare it to gasoline and we pay more for it than what a gallon of gas costs, and you HARDLY ever hear someone complainng about that.

I grew in a farm community and always used water from our well. The taste was clear, clean, and without chlorine. Today I use tap water, due to the fact that I want my immune system to have a build up for some of the basic bacteria that is around.

I buy bottled water for convenience of having a bottle of water to grab and go.
Tap water tastes fine where I live. If I weren't lazy about it I would refill the bottles with tap water.

I grew up drinking well water, and the house I now live in had a well which was slowly drying up. The water began tasting like I was sucking on an iron pipe. Still, it's an "acquired" taste.

Since 2002, I've had county water hook-up, as the well began to give muddy colored water in the summertime. It tastes marginally better than the "iron pipe" well water, but it still has its own distinct "flavor". Oh, well.

The bottled DOES taste better, and I keep a supply on hand for visitors/company to drink, but for me and my dog & cat, we drink straight from the tap.

I just hope it doesn't give me kidney stones. I've heard they hurt like a beesh.

Toilet water..........haha.....j/k....
Tap for me.....unless I'm out in the wilderness, then it's the nearest creek.....

In Austin - The tap water is GREAT. It tastes great and is very refreshing. It's BETTER than bottled water.

In Kingsville - The tap water is AWFUL. It tastes of salt and chlorine. Not to mention that when left to dry, it leaves behind hard water stains. Bottled water is the only way here.

Tap water, our city water is good. My late mother-in-law had the best well water I have known of. She would trade me a gallon of it every week for a gallon of ours. She thought hers was too tasty!

Bottled water is the only way to go around here. There's so many minerals in the water that it tastes quite literally like dirt. It leaves water spots from hell too. I blame it on Mexico personally. Then again it's only an hour away.

I drink tap water.

At my work one guy in the office can keep plants alive where everyone elses were dying. It turns out that he uses tap water and everyone else used the bottled water. If it cant keep plants alive it cannot be good for me.:crazy:

It's a combination for me. We have a cooler at work and I drink both at home. Occasionally buy bottled and then I refill them with my tap. I like having them in the refrigerator, cold and portable. I don't bother to try to save them if I take them out of the house. That's why I buy a case every now and then.

I drink bottled sometimes, but only the cheap generic stuff. Our city water here used to be good year-round, but ~1982, the our illustrious federal government decided Shreveport was too big (>100,000) to be allowed to choose how it treats its own drinking water. We now have to use a chemical that makes it taste like algae during warm weather. You sorta get used to it, but bottled water sales do go up sharply during July and August. Like Longhair, I re-use the bottles for transportation purposes.

Bottled water here after the third or 4th letter saying that some chemical was in the water but not to worry it wouldn’t hurt you I decided to just have it delivered to the house.

A couple of comments. Chlorine has saved more lives in this world than any other drug/chemical known to man. Fluoride is beneficial at lower dosages and so are the natural ocurring minerals (Iron, Manganese, Calcium). When filtering the water with a treatment system like a Reverse Osmosis system (most bottled water) you are removing these minerals. You then have to get these minerals in different forms if you want to be healthy and have strong bones. I could talk about this point all day but I won't.

Ohh, I used to manage a Cities water treatment plant and I am now a responsible for ensuring that these systems are safe for many communities. If anyone has any questions shoot me a PM.

Tap, garden hose, it don't matter to me. Some of these people drinking bottle water, hand sanitzer in their pocket, ect. are some of the most often sick poeple around. Let your body work its wonders on its own.

I prefer tap water. My wife uses a Brita filter and I just don't like it - it tastes like I'm drinking nothing.

My preference is well water which I can get from my outside hydrants.

Absolutely nothing better in this world than cold well water straight from a windmill on a hot summer day!

Filtered.
Tap water here makes me want to dry my tongue with a towel!
I will drink good well water whenever I have the chance, because I know the filter isn't the best.
