It probably is, and it gives it some taste as well, which is why Coca Cola have to put it back in. As I said, there may (possibly) be some benefit in that trace impurities have probably been removed, but I seriously doubt whether it's worth the exhorbitant price that you have to pay for it.

I asked the teacher why, if such a small amount of water could be turned into a steady flow, why wasn't this process used in the desert.:dunce: DOH.:D

Yes, but they get so much rain in Lancashire that they probably think that a desert is something that you eat at the end of dinner. :)

What I dislike about bottled water is the fact that it is so heavy to carry back from the shop. Luckily, someone has come up with a solution

Nice one.
IIRC, a recent survey put Swansea at the top of the rainfall league in the UK, sunny Manchester was well down the list.:D

And the purpose of this thread is to say that we actually don't know what we are buying when we buy bottled water (at least i think that was the purpose... Dave?)
