We have a reverse osmosis thinga-ma-bob that feeds into our tap, and that's good for me.
DH likes Pelligrino, but he goes through so much of it, so we tried the less expensive Kirkland brand, and now he drinks that.

I drank regular bottled water all my life, then the last 5 yrs, I drank filtered water from this filter that hooks up to the faucet. I've started drinking bottled alkaline water 2 wks ago & I like the taste of Essentia. I've tried some other brands too. This one called Essence in this tall, slim bottle w/ a metallic purple label is the only brand I've seen that says they're a pH level of 10.
My mom ordered this pH drinking water test kit & tested a few brands as well as her bathroom faucet water & kitchen faucet water. The tap from both rooms tested an 8, so now she says she'll probably start drinking from the tap, but I told her the pH test still doesn't test for metals, chemicals, parasites, etc.:
I still want to get a water filter eventually called the Berkey or maybe this other that my mom found out about in which a Costo rep comes out to the house to check out things 1st for their filter.

Aquafina and Dasani are just tap water BTW, as are about half of the bottled waters.

I use the Zero water filter for drinking water. It filters everything including copper 97%+ and fluoride 99%+.
That's what I have. I don't think mine filters flouride though. Will check on that. I have the pitcher and it comes with an instrument to test for particulates. However, I'd still like to know what chemicals are in my water so I could make sure I have the right filter. Water testing is very expensive though. Last time I checked online, ours had tested near the upper limit for lead! That test was from back in 2015, the most recent results available. Time to see if there are more up to date test results. I've been drinking this water for a year now.
If I eat out, I get Pellegrino--sometimes have it at home because it tastes so clean and good.

I have to admit when I bought some Dasani it seemed flat, dead water. How do we know half of bottled water is tap water?
