My water at home tastes fine, so I drink from the tap. At work, I have a Brita pitcher I use. On the road around town, I fill up my Brita bottle before leaving home (don't use the filter). On road trips, I either fill a just and bring it with me or use the filter in my Brita bottle and get water from wherever I can (restaurant or gas station soft drink fountain). Every so often I will buy bottled while I'm on the road (the biggest bottle I can find as it's cheaper than the 20 oz ones - doesn't have to be cold).

Reason: spelling
I have a brita pitcher that i fill my stainless steel double insulated vacuum water bottle up with (it keeps water insanely cold for 24 hours and will keep ice in it sometimes for 24 hours). I occasionally will use my brita water bottle as well. I also will get a big bottle of water from wawa( usually wawa brand, deer park or smart water) when i'm going on a road trip or somewhere far.
Bottled, water cooler or from my Brita
Will not drink tap water. Hate the taste especially after growing up next to a navy base that was dumping chemicals so our water was really gross plus most of our neighborhood growing up all died of cancer
We have filtered water in our fridge at home. I also buy cases of Deerpark water at Sam's to have on hand. So it's a combination of the two. At work, we have a filtered cooler system that I use (the tap water at work is terrible).
DH and I only drink bottled water - but that's because over here, we drink sparkling water. We do opt for the kind with less bubbles but still, we don't like the taste of tab water (despite the fact that ours is filtered). It's what you're used to, I guess.
We get the big bottled reverse osmosis water that you put in the water coolers from town. We are on a well too and get our water tested but I still find that it has alot of iron that i don't want to drink.
When I am in the city or town, I drink their water or get no name water bottles.
I have been meaning to try a Brita. Are they really good???
What type of water do you prefer. I have one child who only drinks bottled (Poland Springs), one that doesn't care and one who prefers tap and filtered water. I drink either tap or bottled. I really can't tell the difference maybe because we have spring water.
.... I convinced my family to go with a delivery plan from Poland Springs ($30 for 20 gallons a month). So, not only is it bottled water, but it's bottled water from a dispense that has both cold AND hot options.
The tap water here is from a well, and .... it has a distinctive taste. Not BAD, but, not especially pleasant either. I'll drink it if that's all that is available, but, not otherwise.
And in fact, I need to go refill my glass. Excuse me a moment .......
