Thanks all. if i was going to use tap water as a spa water i would put it thro a filter first....once thro a filter i doubt you or anyone will taste the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Tap water is fine, bottled water is a waste of money and plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I have now been drinking tap water for almost 82 years and apart from a bit of sciatica and a troublesome hip, I consider myself pretty fit. Lots of other stuff out there which will kill you earlier than you would wish but tap water is not one of them. Bottled water is a scam in my view and I howl when I see these women in particular walking around carrying a bottle and they are only doing a mile circuit of the village.

oldypigeonpopper Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Hello, I keep telling my older son to drink tap water but he still buys a few bottles of H2 O 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 The best thing about buying plastic bottles of water is that when empty you can fill them with tap water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 It depends where you are. I have no issues as where I am the water isn't dosed with flouride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 It depends where you are drawing your water. If you have access to a nice drop of Scottish or Peak District tap water, why would you buy bottled? London water however 🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonepark Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I like sparkling (soda) water, either buy it or run tap water through filter jug and then soda stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Perfectly fine everywhere but taste differs massively around the country. As said Scottish water v Thames water (Oxfordshire) no comparison. The latter was foul in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Makes me laugh, folks buying bottled water because they think it is cleaner, then will suck on one of those fowl smelling dummies or a fag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Our tap water has a lot of fluoride in it and you can smell it. It's okay for making tea etc, but not (for me anyway) drinking. I purchased a BRITA water filter jug and it's excellent. It allows generic filters to be used, which are a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 If you live in London you are drinking Thames water. You will be about the fifth person to have drunk it by the time it gets to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
