- twisteriffic 3y agoAgain, it is physically impossible for an infant to drink as much water as an adult.
- ipaddr 3y agoThey drink more as a percentage of ingested materials. They are small and suffer increased effects.
- mynameisnoone 3y agoTrue. I wouldn't give a baby anything that doesn't have a safe chain of custody and history of purity and reliability. Even in the 1970's from whence I came, my parents didn't trust tap water for anything more than brushing teeth and showering because the water had floating crap (scale) in it and high hardness. Personal water intake history: 70's - 1993: Name brand bottled water from grocery stores 1993 - 1997: Self-service distilled or reverse osmosis water store, and remote pump at home 1997 - 2001: Carbon block, multi-stage, under sink filtration 2001 - 2018: Add reverse osmosis 2018 - present: Add UV stage PSA1: Alkaline water is a scam PSA2: Buy a water softener, whole house filter system, under-counter RO system, and maybe an indoor tankless water heater together on a wink-wink commercial purchase order (taxable) and have it freighted to your driveway (liftgate charge). It saves thousands on plumber markup and allows buying a TCO cheaper and better system.

Seeing as the whole population of a place like Copenhagen hasn't keeled over or shown any particular health issues in general I'm going to come down on the side of it's fine for health but annoying for appliances. I've got a filter for tea water for taste preference. The level's you're going to seem a bit extreme, are they a waste of your time and money?
- _yb2s 3y agoThere’s plenty of evidence that many of the minerals in hard water are beneficial. I use mineral drops to reharden my RO water after removing the flouride, and hexavalent chromium in my tap water.
- batch12 3y agoI am not following how your point is relevant. Dosages are different for kids and adults. Even different for kids of different sizes.
- gralab 3y agoThat's true but infants are far smaller than adults. It takes a lot less (of anything) to have an effect on an infant.
