I have well water. It is filtered by a triple filtration system that filters ALL the water coming into the house.
It is GREAT!
My water is severe 'iron water'....before the filter, the water made all the white towels, the white dishes and even my white dog go oddly yellow or orange.

Now everything is back to normal...and yes, I had to replace the towels and dishes. The dog's fur grew back sparkling white!

I drink bottled water because I have found that I drink so much more of it. Easier to grab on the go, carry etc; I will drink a full bottle just running errands or taking the kids to sports. Great to have sitting by the computer also!!

Yes, it's a toxin!!!!! We have this great pediatric dentist here in Orlando. We saw him last week and I told him we were moving to SC. He went on to tell me how important it was to make sure there was FLOURIDE in our city water there and if there wasn't we needed to BUY water with flouride in it.

I explained that in our family we believe flouride is a toxin and actually have a whole house filter to remove it and other chemicals..LOL He said, "Oh, then just continue with your regimen."

Jeez I can't believe pediatricians are still pushing flouride water. If a kid brushes twice a day, that is more than enough floride to keep their teeth safe. More than that is loading your system down with a chemical that has some pretty nasty side effects ...

Well, since my husband works for Coca-Cola - I tend to drink Dasani! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But I really like those sparkling waters that Aquafina makes (even though they are put out by the other guys).

But we also have a Pur pitcher that has the filter in the pitcher, so we can filter our tap water, too.

No flouride in our water here in New Orleans, but lots of e.coli post Katrina. Needless to say, we drink bottled water at our house and have an RO system installed.

Yes I imagine pretty much any home in New Orleans will need a water filter, which all in all isn't a bad thing. We have well water here but we still use a Brita filter before we drink it ...

House water is pulled from a huge, community well system. It tastes great, but is highly calcified. We killed a variety of coffee makers, dishwashers and washing machines before we gave in and bought a water softener and filters for the house.

The water at work is pulled from a lake and is treated with city treatment facilities. You get the lake smell plus the chemical smell and then the taste... ugh. So bottled water at work all the time.

We drink Crystal Springs Water and have a hot/cold water machine. Our family loves it, as we have fresh clean hot or cold water instantly. I have tried filters on our facet and had tests done from the water tap, and they still found junk in the water. I recommend that anyone who has an older home and has lead pipes, have them replaced. My father died of cancer in 1990 because he drank 8 glasses of water a day that contained heavy amounts of lead. He died of cancer. My family was drinking bottled water and we just recently signed up for Crystal Springs water.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that lead pipes would cause cancer, but I suppose it depends how the pipes work. If the water just sits at a junction point for 10 hours straight against the lead, then I bet it could leech a good amount of lead into the water and then you drink it. I always think of lead crystal, but liquids don't sit in those glasses for very long. That's a very good thing to keep in mind.
