I never buy water.
I just drink tapwater when I'm in town, and when I'm at the island cottage I just get water from our drilled well.

Brad Gosse · 09-03-2005, 05:41 AM

I buy bottled water while on the road because I prefer to buy it over sugar drinks. At home I live on a natural spring so my well water is clean. I do however put it throuh a reverse osmosis system to be safe.

DutchTeenCash · 09-03-2005, 05:42 AM

My gf does yes a LOT. Spa mainly, Belgium spring water.

First, Coca-Cola's new brand of "pure" bottled water, Dasani, was revealed earlier this month to be tap water taken from the mains. Then it emerged that what the firm described as its "highly sophisticated purification process", based on Nasa spacecraft technology, was in fact reverse osmosis used in many modest domestic water purification units.
Yesterday, just when executives in charge of a £7m marketing push for the product must have felt it could get no worse, it did precisely that.

The entire UK supply of Dasani was pulled off the shelves because it has been contaminated with bromate, a cancer-causing chemical.
So now the full scale of Coke's PR disaster is clear. It goes something like this: take Thames Water from the tap in your factory in Sidcup, Kent; put it through a purification process, call it "pure" and give it a mark-up from 0.03p to 95p per half litre; in the process, add a batch of calcium chloride, containing bromide, for "taste profile"; then pump ozone through it, oxidising the bromide - which is not a problem - into bromate - which is. Finally, dispatch to the shops bottles of water containing up to twice the legal limit for bromate (10 micrograms per litre).

The Drinking Water Inspectorate confirmed yesterday it had checked the Thames water supplied to the factory and found it free of bromate. Because it is unsafe at high levels, standards for bromate in tap water are strictly monitored.

Bromide is a naturally occurring trace chemical which has a sedative effect. It is said to have been added by the British army to soldiers' tea during the second world war to dampen down their lust. But when it is oxidised into bromate it becomes "a pretty nasty carcinogen", according to David Drury, one of the principal inspectors for the DWI.

"I've checked Thames water's supply this morning and it is free of bromate," he said.

The legal limits are set to have a wide margin of safety, and the Food Standards Agency advice yesterday was that while Dasani contained illegal levels of bromate, it did not present an immediate risk to the public.

"Any increased cancer risk is likely to be small. However the levels are higher than legally permitted in the UK and present an unnecessary risk. Some consumers may chose not to drink any Dasani they purchased prior to its withdrawal given the levels of bromate in it," the FSA said.

Coca-Cola said it was voluntarily withdrawing all Dasani "to ensure that only products of the highest quality are provided to our consumers".

We USED to buy a lot of bottled water.. but we just installed a new Rain-Soft whole house water filtration system with an additional reverse osmosis system and it'll allow us to stop buying bottled water at Costco. The report from the city every year lists all kinds of chemical contaminants from farming here in the area. Our water is loaded with all kinds of calcium and other minerals that make it hard (7 out of 10 grains of hardness).. My wife and I have both experienced kidney stones in the past 5 years and we both believe it's because of the water here. The only reason for us to buy any more bottled water is for convenience sake when we're in the car or travelling.
I drink at least 2 gallons of water daily.

If you've never seen the Rain-Soft water filtration demonstration, open your yellow pages and call them up. It's a real eye-opener.

tranza · 09-03-2005, 04:43 PM

Get a good carbon water filter like PUR or Brita to eliminate the chlorine taste and smell.

With a Push From the U.N., Water Reveals Its Secrets

By WILLIAM J. BROAD (NYT) 1924 words
Late Edition - Final , Section F , Page 1 , Column 1

DISPLAYING FIRST 50 OF 1924 WORDS - The forecast, courtesy of the United Nations, is grim. ... Today, more than a billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Polluted water contributes, each year, to the death of about 15 million children under age 5. By midcentury, between two billion and seven billion people will face water...

I cant get the full article but it continues to explain 9 out of 10 people when given a taste test could not differentiate between sink water and bottled water (when chilled)
It also says 30,000 people a day die of inadequate drinking water (including the effects of having to walk miles for clean water)
BASICALLY
with the amount of money we spend on water in a like a 6 month period we can cure the whole fucking worlds water problems and provide adequate water to the entire 3rd world..
its a pretty strong statement

CheeseFrog · 09-04-2005, 10:17 PM

I was boiling some water (you know, for ramen noodles, because there is no money in porn) and accidentally left my pot of tap water on the stove until it all boiled away. What was left at the bottom of the pot was this grayish white mineral residue from the tap water. I did the same thing with bottled water and it left no residue. That shit is nasty... last thing I need is for all that crap building up in my system and giving me a gall stone or something. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I only cook with bottled water now.

If you drink mineral water daily, try to drink something that has around 500-600 mg of total minerals in it. the ones with 1500-2000 mg are NOT ok for daily consumption.

it's not kidney stone you should be fearing, rather

1. the 5:1 chance of YOUR tap water being contaminated with

feces
radiation
lead
cryptosporidium
and about 2100 other toxic chemicals

2. the fact that, in some states/countries, they use aluminum to purify water.

well, i don't think you have much to worry about, just don't drink tap water.
1. it tastes like shit
2. next time there's a water outage(like when the pipe breaks somewhere and they shut the water off for a while) when the water comes back check what comes out of the faucet...you'll see pieces of rust, residue all kinds of red/green/brown slimy shit..that is from the inside of the pipes the water flows through...that stuff is ALWAYS there...and you're guzzling it down...
