I don't filter water either. My fridge has a filter built in but it has been due to be replaced forever now, I'm not replacing it. I'll drink water fom a stream, I don't care!! There is a spot along the road here where a spring runs, ages ago someone put a pipe into the spring so it's easier to collect the water in jugs. People come from all over to get this water. I never filtered it. It tastes so good. When the jug settles, you can see the dirt that has settled to the bottom.....I don't care!! Well, I dump out the water once I get towards the bottom, I don't drink the dirt...... Never got sick. I don't worry about things like that!! Never have, never will.
Yea bottled water would be easier to swallow if it were priced accordingly.
I also have been known to sip water from a spring once in a while. When you are thristy, you are thirsty.
When mowing the grass, and I'm to tired to walk up to the house, I drink from the hose.
Yea I've been sick, never after drinking unfiltered water though.
I'd be more worried about some of the crap they put in our processed food.
