I am extremely picky when it comes to drinking water.
In a previous job I sold water filters amoung other things. Our water filter supplier was extremely keen and as a result we had to attend four, very boring 4-hour training sessions on water filters. I did however learn a lot.
I never realised how much rubbish they put in our local water. It only gets worse all the time.
I also learnt that there are filters that will do virtually nothing and there are filters that can take almost everything out. I know all the [censored] that is in the local water. At the moment, you wash your hands from the tap and you will smell very strongly of chlorine. Have a shower and you will come out smelling like you have gone swimming at the local swimming pool which is heavily chlorinated.
I will only drink water from a reverse osmosis unit.
I have a friend who has several tanks and has offered to fill up my bottles with his tank water, but I know the rubbish that is in that too - it is scary. As I only live on my own it is more economical for me to purchase bottled water than new filters each year. I drink "Nobles pureau water" It is the only one that I can find that is guaranteed to be 100% pure.
