Do you drink tap water? Do you trust it?

[tazarbm]

@tazarbm do you dare to drink tap water? what do you think they may put in water to contaminate all population?

there is no need to be sarcastic as tap water really is NOT healthy here in Romania. At least not in my local area (S-SW)

In school, we learn that the water has (well, it should have) 3 properties:

- it lacks smell
- it lacks colour
- it lacks odour

Well, in Romania (again, where I live, I won't speak for the entire country) the tap water is sometimes yellow-ish, sometimes light grey-ish, and it also has taste, which - once again - is not normal.

I don't know what they put in the water because I've not looked into this, but I've heard some people say that it's a chlorine-based substance of some kind, which may be true, especially since one of my close relatives had gotten ill from drinking this water last year and we've had to hospitalize him.

To be fully honest, I don't think that this is a conspiracy theory as tap water had been non-potable here in my area for decades, so it could be a lack of care from the authorities. It could still be a conspiracy of the powers that be, no doubt about it given the crazy times we live in. But I am inclined to believe that - in this particular case - it's lack of care and education more than evilness...

When I worked abroad in the Netherlands between 2018 and 2020, however, I finally got the chance to drink tap water that is actually potable and which had reminded me of the water from my childhood that was also potable back in the communist era...

Anyway, in the Netherlands I never lacked any drink that I've wanted (my fridge had always been full AT ALL TIMES with Coca-Cola, natural nectar, tea, milk, and mineral water) and yet, most of the time I drank tap water because of how clean and safe it was. And I think Norway also has clean drinkable tap water, I keep hearing this from one of my cousins that's been living there for over a decade.... so it probably depends on which country / area you're living in, I don't think that the quality of [anything] is the same everywhere... sadly...

[Deleted member 1978476]

Yeah, it's pretty good. Now, just drink tap water, and you'll live for 100 years

 

[Danki]

yeah tap water is for cleaning only

 

[OriginWorld]

Yes, germany has one of the cleanest tap waters. It so clean that companies are refilling it into bottles and selling it

 

[UnusualSubstance]

I don't know about my testosterone being reduce because drinking tap water and i will say that is fake news don't believe but something that actually happen to me is that I got a bacteria and spent two weeks in the hospital so not good unless you filter preaty good the water that is a real fact, also I will restrict your youtube watch time so you can't learn bad things and only when I'm present to control what you see

 

[Komlenic]

It depends where you are from, but yes you should in most cases filter your water not only for drinking but for showering. When you shower, especially with hot water your pores open more and absorb chlorine and other chemicals that aren't processed by water treatment facilities.

Best case scenario is to get whole house water filter which is couple thousands in US, probably cheaper in other countries

Even in bottled waters you have heavy metals, BPA and other ingredients that are above recommended health guidelines but I'm not gonna go into that now.

 

[r2150523]

Yeah, I do. We have the cleanest tap water here. Although there was one workplace where I was advised not to drink it due to e coli bacteria.

 

[Mister Ghost]

It made me turn out like I am, so I don't advise it.

 

[Zwielicht]

No, but not for those reasons. There used to be an issue with the tap water quality where I live. They've since fixed the issue, although I don't trust the water district now, so I just have Brita filters and Sparkletts.

 

[Komlenic]

There's an app called Oasis (not affiliated with them) that analyses tap, bottled water, and different kinds of filters and then uploads everything so you can review it. This is when you're going little bit deeper in the rabbit hole, but doing something is better than nothing. I bought myself a shower filter from tiktok for 10$ and water drop water filter for 50$ (that guy said it was decent for the price). I was tired of carrying water bottle packages all the time lol

 

[code API]

yeah, after one week drinking tap water I started watching gay porn

Dude..
Not even a single straight porn anymore?

 

[indianmojojojo]

Depends on the place. At home i have a RO filter that filters out tap water. I prefer filtered tap water to bottle water. Tap water is very fresh compared to the bottled water

 

[UncLe Spam]

Only tap water with rust in it... Actually I don't drink water I drink nothing but sodas. I will occasionally drink a bottled water at home and when I do hockey I'm all over some water and it has to be very cold.

 

[SpaceYams]

i used to drink from the garden hose, hell yeah i drink from my tap

 

[Youngagain]

I have a river nearby my house, i go there to bring water to drink at home.

 

[Noah3]

It depends on where you live, but if you're in a third-world country or a big city without mountains, it can be bad.

 

[Alexum]

I live in a small town where the tap water is made up of the purest spring water, so it is even beneficial for health.

 

[deedee1whoa]

I don't care about silly things OP wrote, I don't drink tap water because I dislike it, don't trust it either.

I always drink bottled water, can't go with any brand because some are "too clean" (or whatever) for my taste.
