Tap Water

I am not too choosy. I can drink either. I prefer bottled water though.

I prefer bottled water as well. The water here tends to taste like chlorine..I even give my cats bottled water.

Tape water. Michigan has some of the best tap water around!

No i never drink boiled water.Bcoz-- In areas where tap water is not chlorinated or where sanitation is poor, there are several alternative methods for ensuring water is safe to drink. These include boiling the water, chemically disinfecting it, filtering it, using various combinations of the previously stated methods, or buying bottled water. Remember: if the tap water is not safe to drink in the area you are visiting, do not use it to reconstitute juice or to rinse fresh fruits and vegetables. Also avoid ice made from tap water. Below we describe ways to make sure water is safe to drink. Bottled Water Bottled water from a trusted source is a recommended alternative to tap water. Before drinking, be sure all bottled beverages have fully sealed caps. If seals are not intact, the bottles may have been refilled. Boiling Water Boiling water is the best method for making water safe to drink. Boiling water as recommended will kill bacterial, parasitic, and viral causes of diarrhea. Adding a pinch of salt to each quart will improve the taste. Directions for Boiling Water Boil water vigorously for 1 minute and allow it to cool to room temperature (do not add ice). At altitudes greater than 6,562 feet (2,000 m), boil water for 3 minutes or use chemical disinfection after water has been boiled for 1 minute. Chemical Disinfection If boiling water is not possible, chemical disinfection with iodine (e.g., Globaline, Potable-Aqua, or Coghlan’s, found in pharmacies and sporting goods stores) is another method for making water safer to drink. Cryptosporidium (a parasite that can cause diarrhea) and other coccidian parasites (e.g., Cyclospora, Toxoplasma) might not be killed by this method. Cloudy water should be strained through a clean cloth into a container to remove any sediment or floating matter, and then the water should be treated with iodine. Directions for disinfecting water with iodine Iodine tablets Follow the tablet manufacturers' instructions. If water is cloudy, double the number of tablets. If water is extremely cold, less than 5° C (41° F), an attempt should be made to warm the water, and the recommended contact time (standing time between adding a chemical disinfectant to the water and drinking the water) should be increased to achieve reliable disinfection. Note: be sure the tablet size is correct for a Liter of water. Tincture of Iodine - measure out your dose to water. If using tincture of iodine 2% solution, add 5 drops to a Liter or Quart of clear water. If the water is cloudy, add 10 drops per Liter or Quart. (Note: 20 drops=1 ml.) Allow the water to stand for 30 minutes before drinking when the water temperature is at least 25°C (77°F). Increase the standing time for colder water: (e.g., for each 10° less than 25°C (77°F), allow the water to stand for double the time before drinking it.

i like tap water, i have no problem with it. i find it more refreshing... i only drink bottled water if im on the road.

I use Tap water.In my place tap water is good.

no chance tab water

tap water is fine in my area, so i don't mind drinking it. but right across the county, my best friends house doesn't have good tap water. it smells of chlorine and metal. so they have to have a filtration system on all their taps.

I don't think there is much difference between the two. Read the back of your bottled water. Some of them say they were bottled in whatever municipality. Yup bottled tap water. And like all the other suckers out there you just spent a dollar on it.

I used to drink tap water but my family and I decided it would be better to switch to bottled water, so for a few years now, all we have been drinking is bottled Aquafina water.
