So you're thinking about installing a new water reverse osmosis / de-ionization water filtration system? GOOD! I thought you'd like to read why its important, despite government disinfo on our drinking water and its safety:

Even reverse osmosis has a limit to how much flouride they can remove. Harvesting rain water and running it through reverse osmosis is better than tap water run through reverse osmosis. I am happy that reverse osmosis purifers are becoming cheaper.

Ya, you've got a point. Bottled water all comes in plastic (bad) well water still has to be treated (yes/no?) filtered water doesn't filter everything... Best water I ever had came from a spring near Moab. Filtered out through the rock wall and you could drive up, fill up, and move on... who knows though, the spring water probably picked up something along the way that also makes it "bad"...

Bottled water may not be safer than tap water, but it sure is nice to have it on the go. Here are some good reasons to not drink bottled water. Link.
I also don't like paying a convince price of $2 for a bottle. The water doesn't cost that much, you're paying for the bottle, the label, the travel, and profit for the companies.

Water is a human right, but we wont get into that topic.

I'll stick to my water filter in my fridge. It's nice and cool, and I only have to yell at my girlfriend a little bit because she doesn't refill it.

You know what?

I used to drink tap water on a daily basis up until a few years back when i decided that tap water isn't very clean (meaning how it comes to be in your tap)... i've since been drinking bottled water but i'm one of those guys who is all for keeping our climate safe so now i'm drinking all this bottled water which obviously comes in plastic bottles and i'm thinking 'damn! i now have to get rid of all this plastic' so i put them in a bag to go to the recycle plant but low and behold i bet a lot of that doesn't go through recycling but instead gets thrown on the rubbish dump!!

I don't know if i'm creating more mess out of my views of drinking clean water or whether i should ttthink more about drinking bottled water.... it seems that we have created more CO2 by doing this when in fact we should be reducing it.....

why have people gone to huge lengths to start spraying our foods and messing about with our water supply?

I was fine drinking tap water for many years but now i just don't trust it or some foods which are on display at the supermarket!!!

We have made ourselves so paranoid in this World it's unbelievable....

Having said this i'll be going out tmrw to get myself 2 big bottles of water.... i dunno.....
