Bottle Water
« on: May 19, 2011, 07:35:48 am »
I heard that some companies claim to purify their bottled water and they really dont.Do you buy bottled water and have you heard about any companies that were busted for this? If so I may be wasting my money buying purified water if some companies are just rip offs.

I used to only drink bottled water but since I got a Britta filter I stopped buying it because it's a waste of money, bad for the environment and the Britta water tastes better.

I don't buy it - too expensive.  In most places your tap water is fine, or use Britta or some other filter.

Bottled water is bull. It all come from the same place. I live in NYC and the water here is the best. No need for that bottled stuff.

Bottled water is a waste of money. It is just tap water. There was a video out  "Tapped" ...check that.
Dr Mercola has a website that sifts through all types of health issues. I bought a water filter pitcher that includes filtering Fluoride; fluoride is toxic too. I am very happy with it ...."Saychelle"/"Friends of Water"

Bottled water is the biggest SCAM going. Its the only product NOT inspected by the FDA and contains high levels of iron in these plastic bottles. If you wanna see for yourself, just purchase PH strips at your local pharmacy and test your bottled water. Your gonna be shocked!!

We have sulfur water, which tastes even worse than it smells, so we have to buy water. We usually get the Poland Springs spring water, and it is great. There is a difference between bottled spring water and purified water.

I only use bottled water. My area water is terrible!! I don't even think britta would clean my water! not only does it leave black rings or stains in the sinks and bowl's but, it also has a distinct smell. The only use is for tea or coffee because it is boiled, otherwise i use bottled. I really have not heard of bottle water scams. I only drink three brands and they seem to be good.

I don't buy bottled water. I have a filter on my tap and I fill a gallon jug and put it in my fridge so that it's nice and cold :)

It's true, some companies jst typically get their water from the tap or some even tastes nasty and water taps better. Even thgh I know that my parents still buy bottled water, its easier to jst carry it around and drink from it. Idk haha

No, I have not heard of this. I only drink bottle water because I do not like the water from the sink, and I carry one with me when I'm out. I can tell the difference from tap water and bottle water.
