So that's why people have to treat their water for fishtanks, for instance. I just learned something new). And it seems that at 25 cents, you are still ahead compared to most people. I can't tell the taste; to me, water is usually water. Only time I could kind of tell a difference is when I would travel to my inlaws who live out in the country and have a well, but otherwise, would not have known. <BR/><BR/>The article did mention of businesses handing out bottles and trying to get more people to get away from the bottled water. <BR/><BR/>Best, and keep on blogging.A.

Using the same thick-walled three-gallon containers every time, of course.<BR/><BR/>Take out the chloramine, we'd go straight for the tap. Chlorine dissipates.<BR/><BR/>I should note that San Francisco doesn't allow city agencies to buy bottled water--and has great tap water. Some other cities are doing the same.waltchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820646745646868292noreply@blogger.com
