I drink a lot of water and I always drink tap water, very rarely buy bottled. Whenever I do it tastes strange to me. Our tap water is from a group scheme and when I go to a town or city I find the smell of chlorine from the tap water overpowering.
Who here drinks only bottled water? Do they all taste the same?
Do you find tap water tastes different depending on where you go?
And I'm not talking about sparkling water - that's Satan's juice 🤮 |

Only tap water for me unless I’m somewhere I can’t get it. HATE buying plastic bottles of water these days.
I did used to drink bottled water and there was definitely differences in taste. Evian tasted very flat and powdery to me for example. |

Drink tap water at home all the time, it's lovely. Find it hard to bring reusable as often manky elsewhere!
Carry a 6 pack of bottled water in the car most of the time.
Love sparkling water, so refreshing!
Mr's is bottled water most of the time. |

I live right beside a reservoir so the tap water tastes and smell of Chlorine so only drink it if I have to
Keep a 2 ltr bottle of water beside my bed that I buy in Tesco
Keep 6 sports cap bottles of water in the car to drink
My water in work is cold and tastes fine from a well but I have to change the kettle every month as its full of limescale so Im going off drinking that now |

Limescale is a pain in the arse for household appliances but it’s not bad for you! It’s just calcium and magnesium compounds so nothing that you’re not ingesting daily anyway. |

At least I won't have to drink that Calgon stuff to clear it out  |

"Agreed on the sparking water…disgusting! I don’t understand why people want to drink sour water 😂"
Not all sparkling water has a sour taste.
I drink both still and sparkling mineral water. Mainly for the natural minerals content and much better taste than the tap water. |

Almost always tap water but I'll sometimes have bottled water if I'm driving long distances.
When out on the mountains there are a few natural springs that are very good and others not so much.
Filled up from a well in a remote area of Spain last year and it was like drinking Iron Bru.
Don't like sparkling water or as they call it in Spain, water with gas.

Always drink tap water and only buy bottles if I'm out and about and feel dehydrated
Tap water definitely tastes better depending on where you are, it's grand where I am but have lived in a few places where it was shocking  |

Growing up in the countryside and having our own spring well deep bore into the ground 300 ft deep and coming up ice cold has turned me into a water snob 🤣🤣.
I could drink tea made on town or water scheme water now,nevermind drink a glass of water from it🤮🤮
So yes I'll drink the bottled water please |

Was mostly tapp water but with all the building work around newbridge there have been a few times the water has been discoloured or made me feel sick, so I buy 5l bottles to drink. But still tap water when I'm lazy and haven't been to Lidl. Heard a few things about the flouride(cant spell) they use being bad for your head, and Ireland being one of the few countries left using it. |

At home our tap water overwhelmingly tastes and smells of chlorine, so we only drink filtered or bottled water.
Don't mind drinking tap water at a bar or any other public place - as long as it doesn't taste or smell funky

Tap water drinker here. Always have a pint glass of water within arms reach.
Probably drink 6-7 pints of water every day.
I'll only drink bottled water when traveling or when I'm abroad. |

I bought a water distiller as the smell of my tap water was disgusting to me and I didn't want to be buying too much plastic.
The gunk at the bottom of the distiller after a few uses is unreal, I'm sure it's a mix of good and bad but I'd rather take it all out then add back in some salt and minerals |

I get the 10ltr box of Clare Springs Water, it's got a wee tap, very handy and tastes smoooooth, even though it's probably hard (limey Burren filtered water) 
Agree with the  sparking water |

I'm a rare beast these days, as I rarely drink water. I've been like this all my life. I simply don't feel thirsty and don't carry water around with me. Where I live the tap water is usually ok, but in some local towns you can't even make tea with it. |

I'm pretty much like this. I almost never drink water.
Our tap water is fine though. |

Tap water here is pure muck 🤢 i find the Britta filter fantastic... I drink about 70% tap through Britta and the rest bottled.. there's serious differences in taste in them all in my opinion 🙈 4L a day I've tried it all 🤣🤣 |

Unfortunately all public water supply’s are treated with chemicals to purify them. The water still flows through dirty and damaged pipes before it reaches your tap. Suggest using a uv sterilisation system and quality filter before drinking any of it. Most spring wells should be tested for bacteria presence on a regular basis also. Very few of them are pure nowadays due to ground pollution. Enjoy your H2O Fabbers, the source of life  |
