Some people just pour the water in the filter, which has different types of filtering processes. I have seen.

A couple of years back we do boil our water to drink, but there came a time when the water stores boomed and almost everyone purchases drinking water from the water stores. So instead of boiling water to drink, we just order from the closest water store and they deliver the water to our home. We don't boil water anymore.

Yeah its really good for your health to have pure water because if your drinking water is not up to the mark then you might get sick and have health risks but my family is not boiling water as we are getting the water mineral water from one of the govt institute at some price so we are taking that to minimize the risk of sickness.

That is good. Mineral water is equally good only. When I go out of station, I buy Mineral water only. Since it is costly to use for day-to-day usage, I boil water at home.

Boiled and filtered water has to be the best way to drink water for your body, especially if you drink it warm and not chilled, because it is better for your digestive system that way. I read somewhere that drinking chilled water puts unnecessary strain on your digestive system because then it must be heated up to your body temperature, which uses up a lot of energy. However, I drink chilled water, because it's more refreshing, and I like the taste of water straight from the tap - boiled water is healthier, but it has a certain taste that I can't get used to :o)

Even my friend says that the taste you get from the water straight from the tap is entirely different. I also agree that warm water is good for health. Cold water requires strain from digestive system. But what to do, every time we cannot get warm water. When it is there, I will drink it. Thanks friend for the good points.

we have a filter in our house where the tap goes, so we don't have to boil it anymore. but i think boiling is really good, it makes sure that you don't have any harmful critters floating around in there ;)

Even here also it is available. It is called Zero B i.e. zero bacteria. Earlier I was using it.
