Are you drinking tap water or buying water from shops?

I live near a natural spring, hippie types come from a long way with big bottles lol

I have never trusted it though even though it is the best water i ever tasted, i just cant get my head around drinking water straight out of the ground.
 
You’d have to have a screw loose to pay for bottled water in this country. There’s nothing wrong with tap water here, why waste money (and a lot of lugging around heavy bottles) buying bottled water? :confused: Mental.

We’re in a hard water area though so have a brita filter kettle for tea and coffee. We’re redoing our kitchen and will get a boiling water tap with filter in the hot and cold, although honestly I don’t mind the taste of our tap water.

We do buy sparkling water occasionally as that’s nice to have with dinner and stops you being tempted for a beer or wine :p

Username is apt.
 
I rarely drink water, it's all about pure fruit juice, or bundaberg ginger beer to wash anything down with, otherwise tea :D
 
I drink tap, I live in a soft water area, my kettle is free of lime scale and my 15 year old coffee machine is also free of lime scale.

A friend came up to stay from London last year so I bought a pack of Evian in case she drinks bottled only. A day later I notice she didn’t touch it, apparently the tap water here is so nice that she rather drink tap instead.
 
Tap water decanted into old 2l fizzy pop bottles then stored in the fridge for cold drinks, out of a filter for use in the kettle and in the espresso machine and coffee pod machine.

Cannot imagine the cost and waste of buying bottled water.

Tap only for me. I resent buying bottled water.
 
I just have a Brita P1000 filter plumbed into the cold tap in the kitchen, gives me tasty clean soft water for the coffee machine and drinking.
 
Tap water although for last year we've had a Aqua Optima filter jug kept in the fridge we top up with tap water. The filters costs £14 for 6 months worth.

We’ve got water piped directly from snowdonia - It’s some of the best water I’ve ever drunk. No hardness either. We’re very lucky, in the south east the tap water isn’t great.

Yup, not quite as nice as the water up in Glasgow used to be, but tap water in Birmingham is delicious. Used to live in Bath and that was foul, harder than an SAS veteran and tasted like pencil sharpenings
 
Tap here... It's even nicer when it's cold outside like the week we had at start of Dec. Even more refreshing.
