im in agreement with jerrek here (never thought i would say that) if its filtered, then its proberbly much safer then tap water i did say earlier on, you dont know what exactly is in tap water, the water compaines provide a service, its about profits to them.

I think you are being a bit paranoid here. You don't know what is in bottled water either, and bottled water producers make profits as well. Water utilities are pretty well monitored. And, as someone mentioned earlier, the Dasani water is tap water (slightly more purified yes), but still tap water. Tap water in the UK is perfectly drinkable. You may not like the taste, but it will do you no harm.
Anyway, Jerrek said he was filtering it for bathing. I said that would be considered very odd here, as there is aboloutely no danger/discomfort associated with bathing in tap water.

Re: bottled water...
Give me tap water here anyday. Yes the bottled water is treated again but why do they take it from downstream of a sewage treatment works outlet?

Kronas, you cannot guarantee the safety of bottled water either. And, has been proved recently by Coca Cola, you can't guarantee you aren't getting tap water any way.
What do you drink?

Well, it started out with the slightly underhand motives of the coca cola company that sell purified tap water as 'designer water', and then some people remarked about not understanding why people buy bottled water, and then some people said they didn't like tap water. Same process as most other threads really...
At least we all know about water, as opposed to how your firewall can interact with your DHCP leasing...
