But, that water was likely an extremely unusual event Berry..



During the great Southern Alberta flood, tap water in parts of Calgary was like that for a short time.

We never let Winnipeg water touch our lips without going through Brita first.

I'm lucky here...  Greater Vancouver water supply is pretty decent.  Maybe not best in the world, but certainly up there...

We use a countertop water filter which is fitted into the faucet for drinking water.

No need to filter my water!

I drink from the tap.  It's fine.  I never drink bottled water, it tastes sandy and stale.

I can't stand chlorine tastes in my water.

I buy bottled water, but that's mostly to take with me to work in the summer...

Post by: Berry Sweet on January 06, 2018, 06:47:23 PM
Mine has no chlorine tastes...but maybe ad a lemon slice to your water.



Mostly in spring and summer, I keep berry filled water in the fridge...it's very yummy.

The filter removes it and other contaminants.

Ours is mildly chlorinated, but not too bad.  Chlorine should evaporate very quickly when water is exposed to air...

That is true.  I let water sit in buckets for a few days so all the chlorine evaporates when I do a water change in my fish tank.

Ya, apparently Chlorine should off-gas within 24 hours.  Chloramine, on the other hand, is different...

My water is on a community well, its fed off a spring. The thing that sucks, they dump WAY too much chlorine in it. If I boil water, there is a white residue in the pot from it. I can smell it when I shower, and it dries my skin out. I dont drink it. I buy Deer Park jugs and bottles to cook with and drink. The Deer Park North America one is suppose to be one of the last ones that dont use fluoride. Fluoride is bad too, and its added to the city water. Would like to eventually get a reverse osmosis system added to filter out all the crap in my water.

I thought well water was superior. It probably is if not communal.

I read that. When Toronto gets days above thirty degrees in the summer there are smog advisories and elderly people are told to stay inside near fans or ac. Toronto would come to a dead stop if they had one day of forty degrees.

Damn that sucks. I'll be honest, I filter mine just in case. But that water looks so clean where I go camping, and it comes right out of the mountain, so you prolly could drink it straight. Never know if a bear had shat upstream or not  :laugh:

Some of our mountain streams might be ok to drink from, and supplies in the deep interior but as you mentioned, why risk it.



If we're remote we boil.



Semi remote, we ceramic filter then uv it.
