I love water. Filtration is ideal. I live in n.j. and I believe the tap water is making me crazy but I feel great. competingpros.com if you need a plumber. |

Interesting to see what people think about water. The reason bottled water (purified RO, not "spring" water)is so popular is that people do not trust tap water. I'm in the water business and I filter mine at home. Another growing problem with municipal drinking water are the disinfection byproducts such as trihalomethanes and halo acetic acids (carcinogens). These come from using chlorine and chloramines for disinfection of public water supplies. The EPA watches these emissions closely, but with over 190,000 water treatment facilities in the US, it's a tough task. So, give me bottled and filtered water, but RECYCLE the plastic. |

Indoor plumbing is quite taken for granted. To have hot and cold water that is potable and that safely removes waste should be considered a hallmark of civil evolution. I'll drink to that! |

the sheer usage of fossil fuels to bottle, package, transport to retail outlets, and then have consumers use more carbons to drive to (pick up) and transport the bottled water home is criminal. when you add to that the additional energy necessary to then collect and recycle used bottles, its really insanity. we should all be drinking our water from the tap and if we need it "on the go" it should be in reusable hard plastic bottles with a multi-year lifecycle - my 2 cents! |

The ULTIMATE is hypocrisy about bottled water is the new campaign for Fiji Water . . . FijiGreen.com. Sure, the folks at Fiji may indeed be trying to improve their effects on the environment but the fact remains - the energy to secure, bottle, and ship tons of WATER from a small Pacific island to the affluent markets like the USA is a total waste of resources; nothing GREEN about that. Let's watch more companies try to con us with their call themselves green. |

Top NYC restaurants are getting rid of bottled water, and filtering their own (for a charge of $5) |

I've been drinking filtered water at home for 12 year and I love it. Every time I travel and drink tap water I just about gag. I don't buy bottled water when home because it's not necessary. I prefer bottled water when away because it justs tastes better than tap.
Even though water is supposed to be tasteless, I can definitely taste the difference between filtered, bottled, and tap water. |
