    If I have to have bottled water, then Dasani. But since I am at home most of the day I just refill my water bottle with our water here. Not tap water (it has a funny taste) but we get the big water bottles that go on the water cooloers, and we have a pump for it. There is always a jug of cold water in the fridge ready to drink.

    I think it depends a lot on personal taste. I can't stand filtered water so I always look for spring water - Evian, Nestle, Real Canadian, President's Choice. Just not filtered.

    I would drink tap water (and have when I lived in different areas) but ours tastes like chlorine. See above re: filtering. :)

    And I recycle my empty bottles.

    Ok.. so Im sitting there drinking my 8th or so bottle of Aquafina for the day when I read on the label that "Aquafina originates from public water sources...." purified, of course.

    What is your choice for bottled water & why?

    Since I consider your opinions more valuable then Google, thought I throw this one out.

    Thanks in advance!

    you know, I buy a case of water and will drink what's in the bottle, but i refill it/them at least 20 or 30 times out of my refrigerator. Eventually, after a couple of months or so, I have to buy a new case (bottles are for convenience) but I prefer my fridge water now more than any store brand.

    We have a water cooler in the office, and i use tap water at home!

    People who know me will be shocked by this because i used to only drink evian ! but all those plastic bottles! i now spend less money, not just on water but on petrol taking the bottles to be recycled ..

    Tap water all the way!! There is a noticeable taste difference depending where in the country you are, but I figure, why pay for bottled when we pay water rates for tap water! The only time I ever buy bottled, if if I've drunk the water I have with me and can't find a drinking water tap to refil from - then it's whatever bottled water is going cheap.

    Dasani when I'm out and about because their bottles are nice and sturdy and last a long time. You see, I use their bottles and just refill them with our own delicious tap water and keep them in the fridge. Grab and go and my wallet is padded from the money I save not being scammed into thinking bottled water is better than or anything other than my tap water. They add minerals for taste because it's tap water from somewhere with a bad taste. Our tap water is good, if it wasn't I'd get a Britta filter and still use my Dasani bottles to store it in.

    I use a brita water filter. If I'm going out and about and want to take water with me, I put it in an aluminum (I think) water bottle I have. It's cheaper, and there's no worries about all that plastic going to the dump.

    my choice is "smartwater". I'm one of those people that insists that water has a 'taste'. And to me, smartwater 'tastes' the best.

    I've also used Zero water which is actually a purifing system. It worked well in that regard but we had the dispenser kind not the pour kind and it kept leaking.

    Oh please don't drink bottled water unless you have to and/or if you refill it and recycle it!! Watch the Documentary "Tapped" and you will see why!

    Buy a Pur water system at home and one for the office and use metal water bottle you can take everywhere!!

    I only drink bottled water on rare occasions such as traveling. I have a Brita water filter on my tap at home. Saves on money and less trash to throw away.

    I love dasani water or sam's choice. I like the taste better. I'm not a fan of aquafina or ozarka. I think they taste icky and I hate hate hate nestle water. I think it tastes like dirt's in it. So if the store doesn't have dasani I won't buy water there because I know if I don't like the taste I won't drink it

    The water here is very hard, I couldn't even make tea and have it taste good. In fact, the tap water here ruined most of my dishes. I just got a brita water filter. I can't imagine anyone here actually drinking the tap water.

    When I am at home I drink tap water. When I am out and about and buy water it is 1) Fiji or 2) Smart Water.

    We just use tap through a Britta filter.

    Same here. Sometimes I don't even filter it - oh the horror! :tongue: If I am out-and-about running errands, traveling, etc. and stop for water, I tend to go for SmartWater or Fiji.

    I usually just drink tap water. But, I worked for a while delivering bottled water, so I can tell you this:

    If a brand is labeled "spring water", that means that it actually comes from a spring somewhere, is filtered and bottled. If it's labeled "drinking water", that means that it's essentially tap water that's been run through some purification process.

    Throwing away money and killing the environment with thousands of bottles a year (at least 1460 bottles a person if you are drinking 8 glasses/4 bottles a day as recommended) - I don't think so.

    Filter my fridge door and a Sigg.
