Bottled Water

Posted by n4seth @n4seth, May 28, 2020

Are most of you drinking bottled water? If so, does any bottled water do? I am guessing you need to know what you are getting in the bottle. I am currently boiling my water at home for 10 minute, but if and when I ever get out again, I am guessing I will want to take bottled water with me. I am interested to know what other folks are doing. Thank you!

Isn’t bottled purified water the best bet

I use the large Aldi purified water, however, I still boil it for a minimum of 10 minutes to be on the safe side. Wish it came in glass bottles.

What brand did you find that you prefer with the powdered electrolytes. I am familiar with Ultima found in the health food stores. I also prefer the unsweetened, non fruity ones.

No, despite its "purity" sounding name purified water is often water from PWS (public water supply) and run through reverse osmosis. Next time you have a bottle read the label, it's all there. Purified water is known to have NTM. Spring water, on the other hand, is low in NTM. All this according to Dr. NTM guru, Joe Falkinham, who wrote the textbook on NTM in water and more.
