I am strictly a tap water gal. I do have a Brita filter jug for tap water, and that seems to work just fine. I stopped using bottled water because of the environmental impact, and now I am glad I did.

Years ago I decided water with Electrolytes was my preferred daily drink but considered bottled water extravagant. I soon realized how much better the taste than most tap, how much less the cost than bottled drinks and concluded it was a bargain. I shopped water delivery, asked each vendor for an analysis of their water and how often it was tested. No company would give me this. I got a good $300 Berkey style gravity filter and use it for drinking, cooking, coffee and tea. Payback was less than a year and it’s still working after 20 some years. Added few Stanley thermoses and stainless bottles and loved the results. Since moving to the country I have a deep well with great water, apparently unlimited capacity and whole house filter/neutralizer. I use insulated double wall stainless for all my water, tea and coffee. We compost all coffee, tea and other waste. It’s good for our health and the ecology.

Lots to think about there Cliff. I drink Ozarka bottled water for the flavor over tap. Might just go back to tap. Something to think about. Thanks.
