Do you drink tap water or do you always filter it or buy bottled water?  Many people that I know refuse to drink

tap water.

I used to religiously get RO from Whole Foods with my reusable jugs,

but I had issues with the jugs leaking.  Just went to tap...

major difference in taste but can’t argue with the convenience. 

I miss my Reverse Osmosis water.

Any suggestions for reusable jugs?

The Berkey seems popular for many...stainless steel home filtration.

Maybe that would be an option for me...

Any opinions?

I do not drink my tap water.

My supplier puts in too much sodium hydroxide.

They get complaints, then they ratchet it back for a time.

It's so ironic because we have such an abundant supply of good water here.

I got tired of toting bottled water, I use a zero water pitcher, not sure if it's worth it.

I'd like to add that drinking clean water out of the ground with natural minerals is the way to go but not everyone has access.  Our bodies needs some of those minerals.

I drink tap water at work every day, but at home I drink bottled.  Our water in our little town where we live tastes funny.  I remember my mom saying that you get your vitamins and minerals from tap water.

Unless I absolutely have no other option, I will not drink tap water!  I have a Wagerlogic purifier and it is the best tasting. 

"Waterlogic uses a three-step filtration process to improve the taste of water. The first step is the porous filter, which eliminates impurities like lead, pesticides, petro-chemicals, chlorine, and other toxins. Step two involves using a UV lamp to purify the water, destroying bacteria like hepatitis, E. Coli, and salmonella. The UV lamp sits at the dispensing point of the Waterlogic water purifier to destroy 99.9999% of germs before the water reaches your glass. The third and final step includes an infusion of Biocote, a natural antimicrobial infused with a silver additive to inhibit the growth of germs on the purifier."

I can tell the difference and my SO is always testing me with 2 glasses of water and I always pick the filtered one.

Yes - I drink our tap water every day.   I'm in NYC and compared to other areas, I think our water tastes very good.

I prefer bottled or filtered water.  Our tap water tastes metallic to me but I have been drinking it anyhow.  I had a  Britta but the pitcher got so grungy looking from mineral deposits.  I will get a new one at some point.  

I hate lugging jugs of water home from the store.  Very heavy and then there is so much to recycle.

We have really good water here in CO so drinking tap water is no problem. We have water in the door of our refrigerator that is filtered and we use that. We also buy bottled water for guest and ourselves if we are going somewhere.

Would love to get a review on a Berkey.

Anyone?

Completely agree.  NYC has the best water.  It comes from the Catskills and has a very good taste.  Lived in NJ where I kept tap water in a bottle in the refrigerator.  Cold it tasted OK.  Henderson NV we have a reverse osmosis system. Necessary for the water there.  And here in Chicago I drink tap water, not quite as good as NYC's but defintely drinkable.  Happy I don't have to pay for bottled water.
