I grew up drinking from the tap or the water hose. Mom always kicked me out of the house after breakfast. Mountain Valley Spring Water | Bottled in Glass Since 1871 Their sparkling is top notch also.

It gets flushed 24/7/365 every year so no worries. The really cool thing is the best water in the world, unadulterated from limestone springs of course, needs no fancy name or bottle or bubbles or marketing folderal to be superior and is BPA free. A good well is almost as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe that anyone would actually pay for a bottle of water. One environmental engineering course on Water Quality will have you re-thinking your opinion on this subject; of that I have no doubt. Our water (Canyon Lake Water Service) is so hard that it destroys ice makers, dish washers, plumbing fixtures, etc. I had to pay a pretty penny for a quality filter system. To add insult to injury, our water bill is stupid high. When we first moved here I watered the lawn (almost 2.6 acres) 3 times a week (13 stations, 20 min. each), only to get a water bill that was over $1000 for the month.

MC39693 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Not at the house... Calgary has very good water given proximity to the Rockies and the Bow River water is pretty good. Here in Victoria, I am not a fan of the water so we use filters on both tap and fridge water line. I have used bottled water when travelling in countries where I don't want Montezuma to take me out for a day or so. Fiji water is good. In London, I've had Scottish Highland Springs water from bottles, very good. There are a lot of other things that will take me out before municipal water... space debris? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're right in your back yard. https://www.richardsrainwater.com/ I don't think so. In order for it to rain dust needs to rise up in the atmosphere where water vapor forms a water droplet around it. It "rains mud" in Austin (usually red, from West Texas) and so I'm not convinced it is "pure" in any respect. The limestone aquifers seem to be the best bet.

Gilbert Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I dunno about all that dust rising,.... I've tried their sparkling water, thought it was excellent..... but favorite is still Topochico sparkling mineral water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Was playing in a traditional Thanksgiving touch football game. Was tuckered. My friend gave me a jug of cold water, had a sip and he said "it tastes like growing up" he was right! Cool clean water is a thing of beauty....

wuzzzer Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Kind of. Not in the regular sense as far as individual bottles but we have a water cooler in our house and we get 5 gallon water jugs from Culligan for our drinking water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
