Comments on: H2O Researchers: Drink Tap over Bottled

New Reports Say Bottled Water Should Get Stricter Labeling

[debinok1]

Tap water or bottled water either one is gross. Get some kits from your local testing center and send in samples of each. Dont label them city or tap or bottled. Label them well water. They will do a true test on them. The report you get back will make you sick just reading it. And to think this is the same water they use to make every soft drink, beer, energy drink, etc...

Trust me, soft drink water is WAY more pure than bottled water. The reason is that if the soft drink bottlers left all the minerals and crap in the water they use to mix with their syrup, over time they would clog up their machines with mineral deposits.

The bottle can be washed and water drawn from the tap. Ye want ice water to go. Ye fill yer bottle haft full and put in in the icebox over night,take it out and fill it up from the tap yer good to go.

The water where I live is awful. We do drink Poland Springs bottled water. You can't win either way. Nothing is good for you.

my two teenagers are always "on the go"

they'll go thru nearly 3 cases of water a month

if they didn't have water they'd be drinking Powerade or Pepsi or Mountain Dew

R/O H2O is pretty good unless you live in the north or eastern USA.
We lived on R/O when I was on deployment in the Marines.

Where I live now we have lots of rain and snow and lots of good clean water...way better than California or Texas.

Those billions of plastic bottles are the real problem.


Yes they are! We need to go back to glass.

I can't believe that people are so LAZY and buy bottled water. You spend $4, ONCE, and buy a reusable water bottle. It comes with a lid, a flip top and you reuse it. What about this is so difficult? There are rare occasions where you would benefit from having bottled water, um, like during a disaster but for everyday use it's hysterical watching all the lemmings lining up in the stores with their carts full. However, these are the same people who probably use plastic bags at the store too.

In most states there are people who will give away treated and upgraded alkaline water. I quit paying for bottled water and drink this. Healthy and free--good both ways.
