Just drink it straight. Municipal water (with few exceptions) is already filtered, treated, and regularly-tested for contaminants. It’s an insidious message from the bottled water industry that tap water is somehow poisonous without being filtered. It’s fine.
It’s practically a miracle that I can turn on a faucet anywhere in my state and feel safe drinking the water.
- ricardobeat 4y agoI’ve used tap water my entire life, in different cities / countries. It’s fine and safe, but I understand the appeal of bottled mineral water because tap water always has a distinct taste, that varies per location even within the same city.
