You can install filters on your home water system and filter/bottle your own water. Just be sure to change your filter element when it's due. Good filters remove chlorine residue,lead and other contaminants that are in tap water.

We got a water cooler in as a short term measure to ween the kids off pop and squash and other concentrated sugar drinks a few years back.

Comes from a local spring that we've used all our lives, costs £4 for 20 litres so doesn't hurt the wallet. We've all got used to the taste now, as about 10 years back they changed the mix at the local pumping station - too tangy.


Buy lots of bottled and pumped water at extortianate rates - I'm a regular at Dave's pub.

I read in the paper that some posh restaurant in London has a 'water menu' with over 15 different types of mineral water from around the world, ranging up to £40 for a bottle... they claims they all have different tastes.

It couldn't be. Tap water is cleaner than Dave's stuff.

Well I got some MMS I use and it says NOT TO USE TAP WATER as something in it may badly affect the MMS so when I take 5 drops MMS for example I use bottled water....
