    Anyone do this for their water? We are looking into in this for the house instead of lugging around 6 cases of water every week. It seems cheaper also. Just looking for feed back is all.

    I have home delivery, everyone in the house loves it. Some people buy a water cooler and a 5 gallon jug and fill up the jug when empty with gallons from costco to save a few bucks also. You can also look into the water coolers that are bottle less. They tap into your home water supply but dispenses like a cooler, just replace a filter every so often, we have one at work in the tunnels. Large startup cost for the unit but you pay much less per gallon of water so in the long run it pays off.

    Mike: thanks, I understand fir a family. Right now its only me, the wife, and the dog. Think most of iur water intake is iut or working. Bit still seems more economical. And worried about storage if only being delievered once a month.

    Aust: ive been thinking about this way ti long also. We dont have a recycling been in the new house either. So been throwing away tins if bottles.

    No problem, we store ours in the garage because it does end up taking up a decent amount of room. We also reuse our water bottles and just fill them from the cooler so we can have them on the go, pretty convenient to have instant hot or cold water instantly. I don't mind tap water tho sometimes I prefer it especially when drinking 1-2 gallons of water a day, just tastes slightly chlorinated. Trick I sometimes do is fill up my gallon jug with tap and leave it uncovered overnight, most of the chlorine ends up evaporating and the taste improves.

    Went that route for a while but the costs kept going up and after a while the big plastic jugs are just a pain.

    Bought a 5 stage reverse osmosis system from SAMs club like 6 years ago for a few hundred and have never looked back. Every night I just fill up the jugs I take to work with me that I drink throughout the day (1.25 gals).

    We also use it for all of our cooking and even ran a line to our refrigerator ice maker. Best tasting clean water ever. Love it.

    Recently added an inline mineral unit (puts the good minerals back in).

    We have a well now but we also used it when we had the chlorinated city water.

    You can buy a good filter that connects right to the faucet, or a gallon jug with filter in it. Or like the last guy said buy a whole house filter system. Everything I read says the majority of bottled water ain't worth crap, it has a kind impuritys in it.

    I put a glass in the door of the fridge and get cold and filtered tap water. Seems much easier....
