I mostly like mine cold.

My Mom brought this little tester thing she got in her zero filter and tested mine. Numbers were crazy high. Ha. Sure is good though. Been drinking it for 13 years and no problems.

I drink any bottled water I can grab but Fiji is the best smoothest water somehow.

Tap water works for me. No need to pay double for it.

I know, it's a shame because sometimes I drink 1.5 gallons a day. I usually refill at lunch, but sometimes it just isn't enough.

I can't tell much difference in taste.

I had some land fifteen or so years ago that had springs running out of the ground. Ozarka sent a guy over to look at them. The output wasn't enough for their needs.

I learned from that guy that from the store we have "spring water" and we have "bottled water." He said spring water can't have any additives. It has to be pure, straight from the ground, with nothing more than filtration. He said "bottled water" can be any water from almost any source and treated according to health department laws, typically reverse osmosis. And it can have additives.

A smaller spring water company from up north somewhere sent me a test kit. It was a pretty elaborate kit in a shipping container with dry ice and explicit instructions on how they wanted the sample collected. The test came back with a nitrate level of I think 6 or 7 out of a 0-10 range. I think the letter said they could sell maybe up to a level 1 or 2. I forgot all the details of the report.

The bottom line from the report was that we likely had high concentrations of nitrates from years of fertilizers.

And regarding bottled water, I put some Great Value water in the deep freezer once to give it a head start. I forgot it, took it out a few days later, and it wasn't frozen. Get you some of that............

There are two things in life that you shouldn't have to pay for; water and sex.

I believe RTIC has a gallon size.

At the house I keep cases of water from spring market. They’re normally cheapest and occasionally run them on sale for 3/$6. Can’t beat that. On the road I’ll grab the largest smart water I can find for the simple reason it fits in the cup holder. Most are ok for me but Dasani and a few others I do not like. Fiji is a treat but their bottles are stupid and stupid expensive. Good water though.
