Taking Water to Work

I need to figure out a new method of bringing my water to work with me. My current method is bringing four 25-oz glass bottles stacked on top of each other in a bag that I carry on one shoulder, and it is causing me back problems. I fill up the bottles at home using my own filtered water because the water here at work tastes awful. I thought about buying one of those bags that you can roll instead of carry, but I didn't know if that would be too tacky for an office environment. I haven't seen anyone else doing that here.

Any ideas? How do you carry your water to work?

    To be honest, I don't... but then I am fortunate to live in the City with one of the best tasting waters in the country...

    Can you just get one of those pitchers that filters water and keep it at the office?

    What about getting a Brita Filtering Bottle (http://www.brita.com/products/filtering-bottle/brita-bottle-aqua/) or even two so one is filtering water while you drink from the other?

    I did not even think of a water bottle that filters! I've been living in the dark ages, I guess. I'm going to research them right now! I think that would be perfect because then I could just refill during the day while I am here.

    Thank you!!

    You work in a place where water isn't available?

    I totally underdstand! The water here tastes like a swimming pool! I buy a gallon of water and refill it at home every day....

    You could also get some flavoring packets like Crystal light to flavor the water at work....

    I carry a gallon of water into work each day and set it right on my desk beside my computers.

    I just ordered a pretty pink 25-oz. water bottle with a filter from Amazon. No more carrying all of those bottles in and out of work each day! :happy: Thanks so much for the suggestions!

    A bunch of us here at the office pooled together and we got water delivery service. Runs about 8 bucks a month and great tasting water is always available.

    Excellent. I was going to recommend a bottle with a built-in filter, since it's less cumbersome than a Britta pitcher or the like. I use a filtered Nalgene sometimes when hiking.

    Me too. I have a reverse osmosis system at my condo. I fill up a gallon every night (or morning) and bring it to work. It saves money and I usually drink it all by the time I head home.
