Is it necessary to put British tapwater through a filter before drinking it?

Question

Some people say that the trace minerals in tap water are good for you, whereas a filter will remove these. I wonder if this is so.

Answer 1

no idiot

Answer 2

To me water is water and it all tastes the same weather its free from the tap or £1.99 a bottle but my dad put a filter in our house so its cleaner and purer!

I don't think that its necessary to filter it though.

Happy Drinking!

Answer 3

i would put a filter on a tap if its in a hard water area because hard water can be really cloudy and horrible. it won't kill you or anything though, sometimes it just tatses a little better with a filter. i have to admit i am a complete snob when it comes to water though...i only drink bottled.
