- foonamefoo 19y agoA bigger part of the problem is the placebo effect.
- RobinMessage 19y agoMy water tastes good and given the small amount of residual chlorine, is unlikely to be unhealthy. That's in the UK; whereabout are you talking about? If the taste of the water really bothers you, in the UK they sell large water jugs which fill through charcoal filters (Brita), which remove any chlorine taste and only needed changing monthly or so.
- boucher 19y agoThe United States has excellent drinking water, pretty much everywhere. Issues of taste are usually caused by old pipes on the "last mile" of the water's path. So, buy a Brita filter. That's a market that actually makes sense.
- Electro 19y agoIMO Brita filtered water tastes worse than the water out of the tap. My parents bemoan unfiltered water, I'm the opposite. For the life of me I can't drink filtered water because I don't find it refreshing as it taste clinically sterile.
