Drinking Tap Water

[Mr Nobody]

How safe is Tap water ?  I think alot of shit you buy at the store like Spring Water, Distilled etc is bullshit they probably just put tap water in a container and sell it. Anybody else chime in.

Depends on the community.

Brasil has  the most fresh water, so it's all good after you remove the worm larvae.

LOL after you remove the worm larvae, how the hell you do that?

Some water companies have been known to simply bottle filtered tap water and then slap a picture of green mountain streams on the label, "suggesting" it is spring water. Usually, the label will contain the source of the water - if it is filtered or collected from a more natural location.

I use a water filter at home and at work.

Good information, I figured some of these companies were "shady".

McDonald's use to sell it's own bottled water...So that tells you how bogus it is...

I've read that most of them use regular water, then they throw in a drop of spring whatever into the tank its now ''spring water'' and they can say it comes from a stream in the wilderness, when its all from the Detroit river.

Dasani, a Coca-Cola product. Despite its exotic-sounding name, Dasani is simply purified tap water that’s had minerals added back in. For example, if your Dasani water was bottled at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Philadelphia, you’re drinking Philly tap water. But it’s not the only brand of water that relies on city pipes to provide its product. About 25 percent of all bottled water is taken from municipal water sources, including Pepsi’s Aquafina.

I believe it.
It's cheaper, more practical, and they can still meet the label claim.

This.

In Gilbert, Az where I have a home, there is a tremendous amount of turbidity (essentially clay) and hardness (dissolved minerals) in the water. Needless to say I have a reverse osmosis system and water softener to insure the quality.

Its all bull.

If anything, just buy this if you want fresher water

Kinda like adding a spritz of holy water to a tank of water, and now it's "Holy Water", or like in Constintine, where they put a cross in the water tank, it became "Holy Water".

Yep good point.

I was gonna see it for the first time this weekend.
Thanks.

[WOOO]

tap water is king...

Not necessarily.  Just in my area alone there's a community where a gas pipeline runs through and it ruptured, contaminating many of the wells.  There's another large city nearby and they have radium in their water (and some people drink it  )  A Brita isn't going to filter that out.  I'm on a private well and I still use a Brita, but it's just for the taste factor.

Yes on a gas pipeline, I worked for a company near a big gas storage facility you could smell the gas in the water I wouldnt drink it.

I have a filter in my fridge, so it's purified tap water. That said, Rome has awesome water that runs out of fountains throughout the city.

The mummy, because he didn't know Kung Fu.

Distilled water is water that has been through a “still”…that is water that has been boiled and the vapors condensed…resulting in water with nothing in it.

Reverse osmosis is a process where they force water under pressure through a membrane that only lets water molecules through it, holding back everything else…resulting in water with nothing in it.

In freshman level college chemistry I asked if there was any difference between the two and I was told that only the most sensitive tests stretched to their very limits can distinguish between the two.

You should only use distilled or de-ionized water in your car's radiator...this will prevent mineral build up.

Excellent point.
