[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, too, hate this expense but can’t get around it. We buy Fiji water for the following reasons:

1). It flat out tastes better. Some people scoff at the idea that water has a taste, but if you try it, you will 100% see it.

2). It has a higher mineral content and pH than other waters – this has been scientifically documented. Just because all water looks the same does not mean they are all the same – lettuce that has E. coli may look the same as lettuce without E. coli, but certainly they are different.

3). I previously got annoyed with his expense and tried out the reverse osmosis machines at MOM’s. For one, it’s a hassle to carry all your bottles back-and-forth from the supermarket (unlike Fiji, which I get auto-delivered by Amazon). And two, I noticed that the bottles developed a moldy smell when I did this – I question the cleanliness of the MOM’s machines.

For all these reasons, I just suck it up and pay for the Fiji water.[/quote]

I agree that Fiji water is the best. I can certainly distinguish between Fiji, Brita filtered water and tap water. I would never drink tap water, the chlorine smell is awful.  We used Brita filters in the past, but now we use Aquagear brand ( they send us filter every 6 months). Fiji water is rather expensive, but if I could, I would only buy this brand.[/quote]

I agree they all taste different (although imo bottled water is the kind that tastes gross) but along with the plastic waste associated with bottled water, I would also be concerned with the lack of quality control and regulation on the water that goes into the bottles.  The US water system isn’t perfect (looking at you flint) but at least we have systems in place to clean our tap water and monitor its cleanliness.  Who knows what contaminants are in your average bottle of Fiji?[/quote]
