How Do You Like Your Water?

I filter water from the tap as it is very hard in the South West of England. I do like soda water now and again with a drop of lemon juice. All water must be cold either from the fridge or with ice cubes. A friend of mine was in Arizona a number of years back and didn't like the water there. Can't remember the reason why. Any answers to that question welcome. ☺

Hard water is healthier. And it also rinses easier.

Depends on the location and the water source.

One area where I lived, for example, had some of the freshest water I've ever had- "courtesy of" underground wells.
Not too far away, though, the water wasn't fit to drink- it tasted good, but the chlorine added to the water supply resulted in the area being a "cancer-cluster."
 
I like to drink plain carbonated water, no sodium or sugar added. When I want flavored, I'll add a touch of orange, cherry or cranberry juice....or drink something like LaCroix, currently drinking the grapefruit flavor.
 
I drink plenty of filtered water, that goes through a countertop filter system, after it comes out the tap, so it tastes good, and replaced the need for someone to carry jugs of drinking water for me.
I give it to Kitty also, and to my houseplants. We all like it. :ROFLMAO:

I need it to be room temp, or would have cramps from too cold.

I am interested in the alkaline water that was mentioned in an above post by @hellomimi
Do you buy it all ready, or do you add something to your water?
 
Plain, right out of the tap with little or no ice, ...... unless I am in West Texas where the water can be unspeakably bad with the epicenter located in Big Springs where even the cattle refuse to drink it.
A camera is setup in the lobby on most motels focused on the water fountain to capture the look on the faces of unsuspecting travelers.

I'm familiar with water in West Texas.. I rinsed my hands in the kitchen sink, and my solid-sterling-silver ring turned black. No idea why that happened.

Lord only knows what minerals and chemicals are in that water. Most of those wells are extremely deep which enables them to avoid most organic matter, but in filtering down that deep, the water picks up a lot of minerals and natural chemicals.

If it is used to irrigate farmland, the odds are pretty high that the salt deposits on the soil will eventually ruin the soil. In the Elpaso valley the farmers always tried to use river water whenever it was available. But that poor Rio Grande was usually just a trickle (having jumped across it many time as a kid).

Silver is a reasonably non-reactive metal, but I would expect that natural fluoride would have been the culprit in turning your ring dark.
 
For many years now our drinking water has been from a reverse osmosis water filter system installed in our kitchen. We simply love the taste.
