We have well water, no softener, or filtration on it. Filter in the refrigerator is about it. I drink bottled water while fishing or cutting grass or yard work. Especially working on the driveway.
Compared too some of the shit we drank deployed, I’m good with what I have…..

From what I'm reading, that is all about taste. They are adding chemicals to it for taste. I am talking about health. If I was drinking for taste I would only drink beer.

Yes alkaline water is supposed to be good for you. From my researching it is controversial on its benefits. Some say it will raise the bodies ph which viruses and stuff cannot survive. Others say that the body regulates its ph so you cannot change it with alkaline water.
Yes I'm familiar but like quantum said I'm not sure it's not just a new marketing ploy to sell 10000% marked up water. That and i don't believe it needs to be regulated that it actually contains what they say it does.
In Mohicanville near us is a spring at a church that has AMAZING water and people drive from all over to take it home.
The different wells around the farm all have di flavors. I like my in laws well water but ours was so gross that i bought a kinetico system with RO filter so i and my wife will drink it. The straight softened water is "meh" but my kids prefer it over the RO
.I haven't tried the water from the new well at the new house, it's only dug.
I don't know if any studies that prove one water is better than others for long term health. I think the key is to actually drink it.
The only one i know is the dental benefits of fluoridated water for kids.

I have a Springwell filter/softener and then I filter drinking and cooking water with my 2 stage Berkey filter. Between the 2 filter systems, it removes and and all toxins including PFAs. With my well water being right near a stream that is downstream of a dump where that Ohio soil was going to, I am glad I had all of this in place!
Idk and this is why I'm wanting to talk about it. Like Jon said, what is what? It seems water isn't just water. But as long as these bottled guys make it palatable and clear, it sells.
Growing up on a well I prefer the spring tasting water, but once again, what is the benefit?
This is a very interesting topic. We will all die without it, but much of it is probably slowly killing us anyway, like much of the food we eat and air we breath. There is no escaping these realities of modern life on an overcrowded planet. I can't believe how many people actually buy bottled water for drinking. Has always seemed like a waste of money to me when even the worst tap water can be filtered in quantity rather cheaply. Having said that, I buy about 15-20 gallon jugs of spring water per month for the sole purpose of making coffee. Soft water, even well filtered soft water, makes the worst coffee, imo. The filter on our refrigerator for the ice and water dispenser is a good one. Nearly all of the water I drink comes from the refrigerator dispenser. Not only is the water really filtered well, it tastes good, too. I use Nalgene bottles or re-use smaller plastic water bottles for water at work, hunting, travel, etc. I would have to be really desperate to walk into a gas station and buy a bottle of water. I always have a quart or more of water with me no matter what I'm doing. Half of the population is walking around dehydrated most of the time for no good reason. If I had any real concerns with the quality of our well water, I would have a R/O system installed tomorrow. Licking county sits above an enormous aquafer. My well is pretty deep, too, nearly 150'. If I knew of any local spring that I could gain access to, I would be visiting it regularly.
I'd like to know what you all are going to do for water when the lights go out for good. Retrofit your well with a manual pump? Local spring? Portable filtration system for the local stream or pond water? other?

Multiple springs on our farm. They're undeveloped, but it wouldn't take much to restore them, so that's our plan.
If the lights go out i have a manual pump for the depth of my well and there's a natural spring in the farm that runs year round.
While deployed driving water from bottles was hard to get used to then it was hard to not do it when i got back.

I live right down the road from one of largest areas for growing onions... They are constantly spraying those fields with chemicals... My neighbor sold his house about 4 years ago... During the inspection he failed the water test and had to put an osmosis machine in... He was told that the likelihood of his problems are coming from all these chemicals working their way into the underground water tables... This got me thinking, as around the same time, my urologist found a mass in my bladder, which was cancerous.... Thank God it was caught and removed in it's early stages... In fact I just went yesterday for a cystoscopy ( they insert a camera up your penis into your bladder and look around )... Dr said everything looks good... He was doing this every 3 months, but looks like my next visit is 4 months down the road... Still 3 times a year sucks.... So I stopped drinking my well water and have been buying Poland Springs... Who knows where this comes from and it gets expensive... Going to look into a reverse osmosis unit....
Our farm in Ohio is on a water system, it had elevated levels of C8, my uncle who worked for DuPont his entire adult life at the plant blamed for the contamination, died from cancer. They think he got it from his home drinking water, not working in the plant, he didn't work on the teflon. My grandmother died from the same kind of cancer in 2006, sadly we never really know what is in our water and cannot trust companies or the government to do what is best for consumers of the water. I am not sure if testing would catch all the potential contaminants in the water.
That being said I get my water tested every year, as the water treatment plant is close by and it gives me peace of mind.

Alkaline water has a pH of about 8 and will instantly be neutralized by stomach acids that have a pH of 2 or 3. Raising the pH of your stomach acids can hurt digestion. BTW hard water is alkaline water.
Wasn't that the reason they invented beer back in the day because the water sucked? Bottle water in my lunch box and a Brita pitcher in the fridge for coffee. That's sad about all the chemicals in the wells and the cancer from it.
I’ve got rural (public) water feeding our house, with basic filters in place to remove the chlorine taste. Is it slowly killing us? Maybe. But it’s better than the cisterns and hauled water storage tanks that dominated this area for decades. I’m at a very low elevation so well water out here is no bueno. In fact, I have a well… it’s artesian, flows 24/7, spills over into the wetland next to the house. If we’re in an emergency situation it is comforting to know we have that. But, the thought of drinking it grosses me out. It’s extremely mineral-rich and wreaks of sulfur.
Playing devil's advocate. The majority of us are willingly putting poisons into our bodies on a regular basis. Just drink the water.
