What kind of filter do you use for tap water?
Is it ok to drink bottled spring water after it has been opened for a day?

As to the filter, I don't know - my husband takes care of it. It has a prefilter and a .2 micron filter.

And I think the question about bottled spring water is a great one. I will begin by saying my "risk tolerance" may be higher or lower than yours.

If I open a bottle of water or another beverage, drink from it and recap it, I will drink from it the next day. If I open a bottle or can of water, drink from it and leave it open, I assume it gets contaminated from the atmosphere, and toss it.

What about anyone else?
