I'm gonna go buy some bottled water this morning. I don't think I have the patience to boil water for drinking. Put a pot of water on the stove. Boil it for five minutes. Stick it in the fridge. Or pour it into a pitcher and stick it in the fridge. It'll be good all day. Use it for brushing your teeth and cooking. Actually doesn't take that much to do, and it's far cheaper than the bottled water. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most common water filters are actually pretty useless. People buy them thinking they'll filter out stuff like lead and fluoride but they don't. At best they'll filter out visible particles.

I dont drink water unfiltered anymore. Not since the ridiculousness from the my water utility in NJ has ramped up so much. It feels like every 3 months we get a letter notifying us that the past 3 months, the water tested high for lead.

At best they'll filter out visible particles. There's no need to drink fluoride as swishing with tap water achieves the same intended effect, and the amount of minerals in tap water is far too inconsequential to confer any possible health benefits, but the contamination that could not be removed (trace heavy metals, unmetabolized prescription drugs) could cause deleterious effects through chronic ingestion. --- Hmm... ...

Cept that there are studies that show that distilled water will leech the plastic from the container if left too long, and there might be issues with it leeching minerals from your body since it is missing so many. --- The Official Odin of the Shin Megami Tensei IV board.

Capitalism is the only economic system that works.jpg I know you're trying to hate on capitalism but it's the city's water system that failed here, not capitalism. Capitalism (bottled water) is helping people where sorta-psuedo-socialism (city water) failed. http://www.austintexas.gov/department/water I'm not at all against a light touch of socialist policies but this is a perfect example of why you need a healthy mixture of both. --- ~A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men ~ TWSSted since~ 3/27/12 https://imgur.com/zlaENmx ...

I dont know why folks are talking about lead, fluoride, minerals etc, obviously the boil order is to kill any pathogens. Fairly common any time theres broken pipe, drop in system pressure, or central power loss. We had a water main break by the house and had a boil order, usually just temporary
