We boil water and store it in a stainless vessel. Our well water is clean as pipe water always has chemicals. These days you get water filters and aqua guard here in India is quite in demand. I somehow prefer boiling it ourselves as these water filters use certain chemicals to purify the water and I am told the water does not taste that good. We also get water in bottles and here again there is no guarantee that it is pure. What is your water story?

@Noor0000001 But once you buy a filter it should stay with you for a while. Do you keep changing your filters often?

Ahh yeah the water in the bottles are a bit questionable I agree with you. We are fortunate to live in a place where the water is good. and taste clean.

We are very lucky in having clean water piped directly to our homes, we can drink it straight from the tap. In spite of that, sales of bottled water have rocketed in recent years, I have no idea why!

That water that you get through the pipes goes through chemicals possibly chlorine Yes bottled water is mostly for those on the move but I have seen fridges loaded with them as well probably they do not trust pipe water.

@Fleura I have seen someone doing it at a railway station. He had loads of empty water bottled and he was filling them up (lol)

@allknowing That's what makes me laugh - anyone can bottle water and sell it. I could bottle the tap water and make my fortune that way!

@allknowing Good idea to boil water there if not sure. I only boil water when I heat something up on the stove. Our water is fine so do not have to boil it.

@florelway Do you just use it for drinking or also for other use - bathing, washing vessels and cooking

@May2k8 Since water is boils anyway while cooking plain water should be good enough

I would boil and store in huge drinking water container. Can't remember the size. Both Mom and Lil Bro drink lot of water so I would boil multiple time a day.
