What do you guys think of water purification sytems - what is your wtaer like?

Question

some guy did some tests on my water and it was yellow with bits floating around. He was trying to sell me a water purification system. Do you worry about your water from the tap? Is there concerns in your area about your water? Thanks

Answer 1

I don't do tap water unless it's filtered with a Gary Null water filter.

Answer 2

I live in Qld and Australia and firmly believe Water Purification Systems are the way to go. Ive seen some yucky things in the water too.. if u dont want to buy one.. start boiling your water b4 u use it... you will find the water tastes alot better!

Answer 3

It TOTALLY depends on where you live...

In Tempe, AZ the water made my eyes burn in the shower... We needed a filter...

Here in Chicago, IL the water is the BEST TASTING WATER I have had in any city in any state and even country I have ever been to...

Tap water has to be of a regulated quality so there is unlikely to be anything dangerous in the water, so it is up to you...

Go to youtube and search "Penn Teller BULLSHIT Bottled Water" and watch the taste test they did between New York Tap Water and A range of bottled water and most of the people that did the test chose the tap water...

It all comes down to personal preference... I LIKE tap water...

Answer 4

Answer 5

Wasteful water plastic water bottles suck and a complete water purification system is expensive. I use a Brita at home and a portable filtered water bottle on the road. That's all you really need if your tap water is not really contaminated.

Answer 6

Yes, especially when it comes to cooking and drinking tap-water it's a valid concern.  Just from the taste you can tell a huge difference.  Some people will say it's all in your head, but every time I have guests over that had no idea i have a purification system, they compliment me on how good the water tastes, which is by far an out of the ordinary compliment.

Answer 7

america has teh cleanest tap water in the world

you have no problem drinking it here although i still prefer filtered water (due to taste and yes it has taste)

if you lived in some south american third world country however then do not drink the tap

if you are still worried you do not need a water purification system but a simple water filter/ cooler works fine

if you are concerned with using the water for cooking and washing dont be it cannot harm you

Answer 8

Just get yourself one of those Pur filtering systems. All you have to do is s***w it on the end of your faucet and insert the filter. Otherwise, just pick up one of those Pur pitchers and put it in your fridge. You'll have filtered water to drink and it doesn't matter for the water you use for other things in the household.

Answer 9

i get mine from a natural source even better purification is good cause it takes all the bugs away

Answer 10

one if there is something floating your water and yellow you should probably fix it, however there is probably a problem that a purification system would only cover up. You should find the source of the problem first. Besides my tap water tastes fine
