I'm at the wrong end of a east west street where the wind blows west to
east, and the empty bottles roll in. I've lived here for nearly fifty
years. There isn't a CCR within two miles of me. ;-)
At some point, I'm going to photograph a plastic bag in my neighbor's
tree for a doubter or two in this group.

Yep. That's the way water is supposed to taste. I grew up on Detroit
water, and I still am on the Detroit system.

Water's supposed to taste of chlorine? You're quite far gone, Cindy

You're not up to speed, there is not enough in the water to taste.

You're so used to it that you don't know what water's supposed to

Except . . . water bottles are no longer being accepted for recycle
in many communities. We are directed to put them in the trash.

I have a couple large mouthed water bottles. I use them when I go
kayaking with the club. The large caps unscrew quickly and easily so can
coast for a few seconds, open it up, take a swig and close it up again
without slowing down or keeping others waiting. I used to use the metal
bottles with the smaller caps with finer threads.

A canteen is a water bottle. Times have changed and there have been
improvements in materials and fabrication. Just about everyone has a
canteen these days, but they are usually round and made of plastic or
thin metal and are called water bottles.

So true. It's not as bad around here now as it was a few years ago, but
there are still way too many empty water bottles at the side of the road
and in ditches and.... damned near everywhere.

I have several water bottles that I refill from my distiller or with the
filtered water from fountains at the Y and in the library.

If you fill a bottle or pitcher in the fridge, in half an hour the
chlorine taste is gone.

True. Chlorine escapes from the water. Tropical fish are easily
poisoned by the chlorine in tap water. People who keep fish in tanks
know to let the water sit for about a day.

Be sure to chane it often, those type of filter are a haven for
bacteria. The carbon filter is really only to remove odors, it's the
same as used for fishtank filters.

We have several types including stainless steel but I like this best:
https://www.amazon.com/CamelBak-Eddy...70_&dpSrc=srch
The stainless steel bottles typically have a rather small opening
making cleaning difficult and those screw caps are annoying and can
get lost.
According to my Hydro guy the best way to disinfect water bottles is
with a little hydrogen peroxide.
When you move you'd be smart to install a Reverse Osmosis filter...
that carbon thingie in your fridge is not a filter, it will only
remove odors and only for a relatively short time. One element of my
RO filter is a large carbon cannister thats changed yearly. Generally
odors develop in residential water from it standing stagnant
for periods in the plumbing, like over night. It's a good practice to
shock your water pipes every two years with chlorine bleach,
especially the hot water pipes as the warmth causes bacteria to
generate more rapidly... my hydro guy does that as part of his yearly
service. You should check the water souce at your new house, Florida
is known for hard water so you may want a water softener installed...
I have one because I'm on my own well... most neighborhoods are on a
large community well. NYC has excellent water due to it getting
reservoir water, piped downstate from where I live in the Northern
Catskills. But most well water is hard.

Julie, your 'hydration acks' weigh the same per ounce of water as a
canteen.

I only use it for the water we are drinking cold. For coffee, tea and

I'd still rather have water with no crap in it.

The idea of the chlorine is to kill the crap in the water. I don't know
of anyone who has been killed or sickened by the amount of chlorine in
municipal water, but there have been lots who got sick and died from
untreated water.

They put it in for a reason, of course. And the more reason, the more
chlorine. I'm only saying that I can imagene buying bottled water if
the tap water's that bad.

I assume since it was a consumer related interview that it was bottled
water in general, they have found all sorts of bits of plastic and
bacteria in it. Colform (sp?) being one.

I hope our brand is better. It certainly smells better than city water
around here. Our rain water is the best, but sometimes frogs and bugs
die in the tanks. We use it for showers, dishwashing, coffee etc.

I filter my water for my houseplants. They deserve it.

around here gardeners, lawn maintenance, roofers, framers etc., all
travel with one of those orange 5 gallon jugs of water on the back of
their truck. If they want ice water, they stop at the convenience
store and get a bag of ice and dump it into the big jug.
Mineral water for the gardener? He better be damn good in bed.

When my parents lived in Spain all rain water etc. was diverted into a
cisterno, my father had a couple of small fish in there, they kept the
water clean. Must work, the Spaniards have done it for centuries.

Yes, it's more the idea. Sometimes I look into the tank to see how
much water we have, and what I see -froggies, bugs etc- makes me not
want to drink the water. But it would probably be ok. They float at
the top and we drink from the bottom

So you wind up drinking some frog shit instead of chlorine - big deal.

No we buy water in 5 litre containers. We use the tank water for
everything, except for drinking.
