    Filtered. I really don't like the look of tap water, with limestone (which is what we have where I live in some places) that gets through the line sometimes. I just use the fridge filtered water. But tap water is good sometimes when you need the nutrients it can give. Our tap water doesn't give us fluoride.

    Our school's water, when you use the water fountain and use it to fill up a bottle, the water is like watered down man juice. I can't believe I just said that.

    I try to avoid tap water as it has estrogen in it( from birth control pills ) since filtration process doesnt filter it out.

    Really? That might explain why my testosterone is so low! lol

    As this thread was going I went out and bought this at Target

    Hope it's better than the tap.

    I've got the brita filter on my sink, it has saved me SOOOO much money! and my animals love it, Floride is very dangerous for them =(

    I refuse to drink tap water cause of the floride

    Brita filters (or any charcoal filter for that matter) does not remove flouride.

    according to it's box it does, and so I have read from other places

    Filtered. I have been raised on filtered water and it is the only kind I really love.

    I have the New Wave Enviro water filter available at Whole Foods. I love it.

    Water filtered through Brita or Filtrete is just not the same. Yuck!

    I dont particularly like water, and can only drink it cold. So, I half fill a bottle with tap water, freeze it, then when I take it out the freezer I fill it with tap. This keeps it nice and cold, great for gym.
    I buy one bottle of water every week or so, just to keep getting a fresh bottle for carrying around.

    I cannot stand water out of the tap! Our water here is disgusting! I have one of those Britta filter jugs things. =) It super awsome and can defo tell the difference! Soo much nicer! The only pain with it, is that i have to fill it up like everyday! :laugh:

    And when im out, ill only have bottled water. When i go to a cafe and i have water ill buy a bottle from the fridge, instead of asking for a free glass of water from their taps :)

    Filtered water all the time, use a brita pitcher, if I'm at friends houses and don't have a bottle of water in my bag or they don't have a water filter I'll drink tap water, don't trust bottled water since the amount of time it spends in storage with rats/mice crawling over it (I know for a fact mice pee non stop, not sure about rats since I've never owned any so not done any research), I'll drink bottles water out a glass/using a straw, but anything bottled I won't drink straight from the bottle because of that.

    Sorry. Nope. Not even a little. Reread the box or even go and visit their website. It's one of their FAQ.

    I have a Brita jug but otherwise glass bottled water. Our tap water is good enough but I like the extra option to filter first! :wink:
