We do drink filtered water, if not our water tastes a little too metalic.

Generally speaking, we live in a country with... the safest public water supply in the world, and many of us are paying top dollar for water we don't necessarily even really know the source of. So I've taken to using a last-year's christmas gift--a big Nalgen water bottle (it holds about a quart). I fill it with chilled tapwater, and take it with me.

The mouth is wide enough that I can fill it full of ice cubes first, and it's big enough to last for most of the time I need it to--unless we're doing a 25 mile bike ride or something (then I take two).

Yes. Because tap water is contaminated with chlorine and other toxins that can't be gotten rid of through present system 4 ibstimes says: Is water, water? Definitely not.

However, I would never drink tap water. Why? Because, despite the chlorine and other chemicals used to make it safe, there is no purification system that can remove all the toxins, chemicals (chlorine can cause cancer), and the insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides that the water mustpass through yo get to your tap in the first place.

The solution? Go online and Google alkaline water filters. These are cheap....like $40.00 and iot will filter out all the toxins as well as alkalize the water.
