Water... what's your preference?

Wed Jul 27, 2005 7:59 am

I like bringing this question up to people. When you're thirsty and just want to pour some good, cold, H2O down your throat, what comes to mind?

I prefer tap water. Though really, I suppose it would depend on which city I'm in. I love the water here, but if I were in a certain nearby place (which shall remain nameless.. southern Illinois) I would have to go with something different. I've tasted the tap water there, and it's not very good.
I generally don't like bottled water, it just tastes... flat compared to tap water. Or maybe that's just the plastic bottle, I dunno.
But worst of all is the filtered water from the refridgerator dispenser. It tastes awful. I don't know why. It's sort of funny actually. I'll get ice from the ice maker, and water from the sink. But then the ice melts into the water, and then I can't drink it.
And as for well water, I haven't had it, so I don't have a preference.

**has more interesting things to say, but wants to wait and see how people vote first**

Maybe the filters have gotten to old?

Personally I hate tap water. I wouldn't drink it if it were my only source.
I drink from the refrigerator dispenser. It's clean, and it comes with ice.
I also drink bottled water... But then refill it a couple times with water from the refrigerator.

And maybe it's just me, but all water taste the same... Unless it's from an ocean.

As far as i know NZ tap water is fine, and in the unlikely event that I run out of sprite and orange juice, I just drink tap water.

I'm not really all that worried about the commies tainting my precious fluids.

I really don't care. I usually drink orange juice, sometimes sprite, occasionally 7-Up, but when I do drink water it doesn't bother me...unless it's from one of those taps that says 'Not drinking water'.

Where I live, there is no difference between Bottled and Tap water, othern then that Bottled water tastes horrible if you don't keep it cold. So tap water is more low maintenance. :P

We don't have any 'wells' here.

And I like filtered water, it just tastes a bit odd.

When I need refreshement, I just get a glass out and cycle to the local pond.

In all seriousness, I prefer bottled water, but we don't have it in the house. THere's no point in buying bottled water when tap water's much cheaper, and more or less identical?

I'm spoiled. I drink the most expensive bottled spring water. XD

I don't have a refridgerator dispenser. Never had well water. Bottled water is disgusting.

Tap water, however, I like. ^_^

And Chass, tap water in Southern Illinois is very good! It's your southern water that's disgusting. ;)

You're pretty far north, almost in Central Illinois. There's a difference.

Refrigidgerator! I like to leave the ice untill I'm done my water, so I can eat my ice.

I drink boiled water that cools off. I dun like drinking tap water even when people tell me it is fine.

Wed Jul 27, 2005 2:14 pm

I'm the first person to vote well water. Well, it's all we get where we live, so nyeah.

We have this big reverse osmosis filter thingie in the basement and it makes our tap water into a lot better water. I normally drink about six or seven glasses of water a day, it's really good water. The tap water around here is icky, I don't like it, I don't like any tap water really. I only drink our nice filtered water from home.

Wed Jul 27, 2005 3:51 pm

Well, there is no way in the world that I trust New Jersey water from the tap. :roll:
So I usually drink bottled or water from the big filter pitcher in my fridge.

Wed Jul 27, 2005 3:51 pm

I ...never drink water.
And by never I do mean never. :P

But, um, bottled, I guess. :roll:
