Water Filter - Do you use one or drink water straight from the tap.  

My wife boils the water first, waits till the time it becomes cold, puts it in a filter. From filter it is then bottled and kept in refrigerator. This process we have been following for more than 20 years and I particularly like to drink as much water as I can, because this water is free from any bacteria.

at the office there's water filter. at home though, we drink straight from the faucet. if there are instance that the water from faucet is unclear, we boil the water before drinking. :)

Actually, a filter woudn't really help the water from my tap. I live out in the country and I have very hard well water. The system I would need to make the water drinkable would cost me about $2000. Plus I would need to buy special things to go with it. So we either buy our water at the store or we find places that will let us fill up jugs of water. I won't even cook with the water from the tap but I will use it to wash dishes and take a shower.

My fringe has a Water Dispenser built into it and it filters the water befor you drink it.... It taste so much bettre than water straight from the tape. I think it makes a Big difference...

Frankly, I never trust the water filter. In fact the water without running can be very dirty in the tap. So I have never wanted to use a water filter. I prefer to boil it and then drink it. Water straight from the tap is cleaner than from the filter. I think many people won't believe it, but it's true.

I never drink straight from my tap coz its not safe at all. I do care about my whole family's health and also I have a small baby. I dont want he gets any kind of sickness from unhealthy water he drinks everyday.

We definitely use a water filter. Although our tap water is very safe to drink, I don't like the taste of chlorine in it.
I used to use rain water from my tank, but that is not very safe, as the run off from our roof could contain chemicals.
Once one has bought a water purifier, the cost is free, as you just use the water from the tap to fill it up.

either filter the water or boil it...i won't touch the one staright from tap...

I live in Florida in the United States. We bought a water softener when we bought our house but I still can't stand the taste of the water! I use to use water filters and need to get of my behind and install one so that I can actually drink the stuff. They say you should drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water per day. Thank goodness for Crystal Light.

we don't have water filter at home an we rink water straight from the pump.. actually, water is safer here in our place, here in the province than the water in the city that's why, we don't need a water filter here.. we also buy water from the water refilling station for my baby's use...
