That's the thing, we've always drank water from the tap, but lately it's been smelling off or its not clear....Normally I'd suggest to stick with tap water but Sydney tap water has been a little funny lately.
Yep, we're currently buying water bottles and stacking them in the also...Depends what you are after... Tap fitted, counter fitted, in fridge fitted..
Most of them the con is the filter costs. Also power costs on a standalone unit might be significant.
We just have a stack of bottles in the fridge with water in them
You may want to get a water test kit. May be lead or something in it.That's the thing, we've always drank water from the tap, but lately it's been smelling off or its not clear....
Thanks CD!Brisbane water tastes odd. It's perfectly safe, but even people who have lived here all their lives say its ordinary.
A couple years ago i bought a couple of those Brita jugs for abut $30 each (one upstairs, one downstairs). Best investment i ever made. You just replace the filter every 3 months or so (about $8 a pop).
No worries - it might be a cheap start anyway. You buy them at Big W and the filters you can buy online.Thanks CD!
Hahaha.... It shouldn't be a problem at all.Lol first world country problems
Our area of late the water (if you run it hot) there's a noticable chlorine smell to it.Normally I'd suggest to stick with tap water but Sydney tap water has been a little funny lately.

The one thing to keep in mind is that if you drink filtered water then you lose out on fluoride so just make sure you brush your teeth twice a day.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but charcoal filtered water (like the filters BRITA and Bopple and others use) are unable to easily remove flouride from water. Only using a Reverse Osmosis filter can remove flouride?The one thing to keep in mind is that if you drink filtered water then you lose out on fluoride so just make sure you brush your teeth twice a day.
LD, are you still in Singapore? I was very pleasantly surprised that I could drink tap water there.Try boiling your water and store in whisky or wine bottles, in direct sunlight, apparently this is good!

Reverse osmosis is one way. There are other ways. A basic filter like a Brita is unlikely to remove fluoride due to its small chemical structure but the more expensive filters do. So it you go with a basic filter then it shouldn't be a problem but if you go with a more expensive filtration system (like the sink filtration systems) then you won't get fluoride.Correct me if I'm wrong, but charcoal filtered water (like the filters BRITA and Bopple and others use) are unable to easily remove flouride from water.

Or just drink whiskey. Sure you'll probably eventually die of dehydration but it'll be a fun journey.Try boiling your water and store in whisky or wine bottles, in direct sunlight, apparently this is good!

Yup! Singapore .. and tap water is perfect here! It's a rare country in this region.LD, are you still in Singapore? I was very pleasantly surprised that I could drink tap water there.
