Do you drink water straight from the tap?

I rarely do. My go-to source is chilled and filtered water from my refrigerator door.

We have our own well. It is tested often. It comes chilled and filtered from the door of the fridge.

@SBelle: Cool, my dad and stepmom live next door, they buy bottled, and have a refrigerator with a filter on the dispenser and ice cube maker I believe. Actually, I'm not sure if that takes tap water or the 'water cooler' big bottled water.

I drink water from the tap all the time. I fill my bottle and throw it in the fridge. I have to have it cold.

Our tap water is very clean from what I've heard so I don't mind the tap but generally I just drink bottled water.

All the time. Admittedly I get it from my refrigerator, but I filled the bottle from the tap.

Not often. We have hard water so I prefer filtered water from the fridge.

When I'm home I do - it has that swamp quality to it...

@fun4us2b: Swamp water, my favorite...NOT.

@DuchessOfMapleSyrup: Is your tap pointed upward? I always found it difficult to get my mouth in the right position to not make a holy mess.

MasterDvdC · 61-69, M

@Raythedevil: Cup your hand under the faucet and let the water flow over it. Then you can drink out of the side of your hand.

Raythedevil · 56-60, M

@MasterDvdC: That doesn't work too well for me either, I usually use a glass. Actually haven't even tried drinking straight out of the faucet in a long time.

Tap water is fine.

Raythedevil · 56-60, M

No, we don't have running water in this place, I have to put it in jugs outside and then bring it inside to use and drink. And no, no filters or Britta pitchers or anything like that. So I guess in that sense we do drink it straight from the tap (so to speak).

I don't like to

MLGecko · 46-50, M

But that is from the same water source your "tap" water is. This sounds like a work around. Can we please bring over the judges??

@MLGecko: well, yeah. But it's got whatever makes it taste funny filtered out. Stupid municipal water system trying to use their science to make my water safe.

Justbychance · M

@MLGecko: Britax filters removes chlorine and such-like and improves the taste. For example:

[i]Britax® pour through filters remove impurities through the science of adsorption. Different from “absorption,” adsorption happens when particles or molecules adhere to a surface. The activated carbon and ion exchange resins in Brita filters attract and adsorb particles in tap water, making it better tasting and cleaner.[/i]
