[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could get a bottom loading water dispenser (no lifting the big bottles upside down) and get 5 gallon bottles delivered to your house but there will always be some degree of lifting involved.  I would get a good quality under sink water filter installed instead unless you have a medical need for something like distilled water.  If so, there are home distilling machines as well. [/quote]

We have a bottom loader as of Sept. Our building has really bad hard water. It stains our teeth and even our vet wanted us to stop using the tap for the cat. However, the owner won’t allow a filter to be installed. We’ve snuck and tried the screw on kinds, but they don’t fit the hardware. The dispenser is the only other option. [/quote]

The water delivery services will deliver gallon bottles or 3 gallon sizes if that is what you need.   I would also look into the ZeroWater pitcher filters.  https://www.zerowater.com/zerowater-products.php   My MIL has terrible water and swears by them.   The pitchers are slow but they do produce good tasting water.

Yes they produce "good tasting" water but they do not filter out chemicals. They are a waste of money. We've had all kinds of filters over the years. I'm going to get a counter top distiller when I can afford one. They're slow, too, though.[/quote]

And the same chemicals are in bottled water.  They are in the water supply and it makes no difference whether the water is bottled or from a tap and filtered.  Unless your water has known contaminants in it, bottled or tap, it is all the same except for taste and appearance. [/quote]

What? I don't get your point. Of course it is not all the same. The only reason to use bottled water or filtered water over tap water is to filter out contaminants. Do people really use filters to change the appearance or the taste? I used them to filter out chemicals -- which is what the better filters advertise, not "clean taste." I want [b]no lead, [/b]not or "no lead taste."[/quote]

Your tax dollars already pay for this. Your local government ensures that the lead levels in your drinking water are safe. Why do people insist on throwing money at non problems?[/quote]

You're not from around here, are you.[/quote]
