I get bottle water because I can take it anywhere, but sink water is good

[curlybenswife]

Filtered, bottled contains sugar.

Tap water that comes from Lake Michigan, which is very excellent water.

The fountain water americans drink all the time, do you guys filter that or is it recycle water??
I see the water going back to the button of the sink, where is it going to? Is it coming back once I press to get water? Geez, I hope not!! :D

Tap water is water that comes directly out of my kitchen or bathroom faucet. A tap is a faucet.

Wikipedia says:

"A water fountain or drinking fountain is designed to provide drinking water and has a basin arrangement with either continuously running water or a tap. Modern indoor drinking fountains may incorporate filters to remove impurities from the water and chillers to reduce its temperature. In some regional dialects, water fountains are referred to as bubblers. Water fountains are usually found in public places, like schools, rest areas and grocery stores."

The drain takes the excess water into the sewage system where it is filtered and purified before being released back into the environment--ground, lake, ocean, etc.

Of course not lol, the water goes through the filtering process again

I like the tap water at my parent's house. Their well has great tasting water (It's from lake Michigan too... sorta. Well, about 30 miles away). I have city water where I live, it sucks. I'd prefer bottled water over mine (filtered is okay, but it still tastes weird if it's from the same source)

When I lived in western NY just south of another Great Lake, Lake Ontario, our water was piped in from that lake and was also excellent and good tasting.

When we first moved to this Chicago suburb where I still live, our water was piped in from village wells. The water was "hard" with many minerals, so we had to purchase a water softener that was hooked up to our water pipes and kept thick scum from forming when we washed dishes, bodies, and clothes. My aunt lived in another Chicago suburb where the wells contained a lot of iron, so sinks and toilets and bathtubs ended up with yellow rings and layers of crust if they weren't treated with chemicals.

Well water in Northern NJ, I've heard, has a peculiar taste but is not harmful to humans.

How about spring? Do you filter that then drink? Or just drink it

[CaptainRich]

When I lived in New Hampshire, the water in the well was Artesian Spring and so cold, you'd get an ice cream headache.
Here in Florida, the tap water is good but isn't cold enough. I have chilled water on the front of the fridge and it's filtered.
Water from "the city" also contains additives like fluoride that can be beneficial.
Bottled water is more portable and quite handy. I keep several cases on hand.

Have you had their "fruitkiss"? :rolleyes: I heard that's the new stuff they are getting now. I couldn't find it in my area though, it was big in Japan.

[br_hjs]

I pefer bottled water. Although, did you know that bottoled water can be normal tap water, unless its spring water, then it can't be tap water?

I have tried their fruit water. The strawberry was pretty good. However, that was in Scotland, but I'm sure they have that here in the States too.

When I drink water it is usually Aquafina or Nestle Pure Life. :)

I used to drink Propel Fitness Water when I worked out in there field, in the summertime. I'm pretty sure it wasn't that good for you, and I assumed that back then, but it did taste good. I just thought of it as gatorade without the food coloring, since it was developed by them.

vitamin water tastes good and is good for you.

I've never had that, but I've heard good things about it. I'm going to have to try it. :p

[sGt HarDKorE]

It tastes good and there are always funny statements on the bottles
