So what kind of water do you drink on a daily basis? Spring/bottled water, Tap water or Filtered/ Purified water? Here we drink Spring water, I buy big packs of it at Costco. My kids drink at least SOME tap water though, because it has flouride and it's good for their teeth, but I can't stand the way it tastes. But they like the water from the faucet just fine, and I like them getting the flouride so I let them drink that. What about you? What kind of water do you drink?

We have well water here in west virginia.
It is like spring water, but it was also tested for floride and has natural flouride in it.
The dentists don't give my kids flouride treatments because they get way too much in the water.
I have even heard that too much flouride causes cancer...and that the Europeans have eliminated the use of it. So beware!

WOW WOW WOW, never in my life have I heard that, actually the pediatrician specifically asked if they were given the tap water. WEIRD. i'll have to look into it more since i've never heard of it.

We drink bottled water, the tap water here tastes like chemicals. I buy it by the gallon, it's around 60 cents. I bought a filter, but they get expensive when a family consumes as much water as we do, plus I find that they always get some weird black floaties in the water. If we're struggling with money, I boil our tap water to get rid of the chemical taste.

Me too, and the price of the filters is what really got me, especially since I didn't really like black floaties in my drinks, and I was stuck with the pitcher and leftover filters!

YES! We had the black floaties too in the filtered water, gross!

fluoride is a carcinogen that was actually used as bio warfare in I believe the first world war, if not then it was the second. I prefer to not have it in my water. how is it regulated anyhow - in the summer we drink a lot of water. that is for the most part the only thing that I do drink -
anyhow I usually opt for distilled water, it is not the best tasting but it is supposed to help with arthritis. we have a lot of calcium in our water and as you age it gets stored in the joints and organs causing discomfort/pain.

I'd rather have spring water then any of the other kinds, although i use tap water when i'm coffee, tea, kool-aid or cooking so i stil use it sometimes.

Depends on where I am- At work it is strictly bottled water- We bring it in and put in water coolers- The town water is gross! At home I get it out of the fridge- Which comes from the tap- but it is filtered. I always grab bottled water when I am out and about- So we have lots of that around too! Nothing beats a glass of ice cold water!

My wife and I have a filter attached to our sink faucet. We primarily drink that water, as it is cheaper then constantly buying bottled water. We do keep some bottled water in the basement fridge though. We have found little bottle of water. They are about half the size a normal bottle. We notice we would drink only so much of a bottle of water and then be done with it. The smaller bottles are about the same price. However, they can be difficult to find. So far, I have only found them at Sam’s club.
