This is a fair point too. I am definitely not a hydrologist so you could be correct.

Wasn't this funny 2 years ago

I’m very skeptical that waters claiming to be from a spring are actually from a spring.

I suspect it’s very loosely defined that almost anything would qualify as spring water. If someone else has time to jump down that rabbit hole let me know

It's because some people think seeing a dick or getting your dick seen makes you gay. Or at least that is my best guess.

Understood. And you got me on the energy part. However, you missed the part where I specified 'Spring Water.' If I find a place that supplies Bulk spring water, It wont be coming from "a big ass britta" when I come to switch old bottles out for new. If I wanted purified water, I'd stick to the britta, ya know?

We use a 5 stage reverse osmosis filter for our drinking/cooking water.

It's way more affordable than buying bottled water. Countless visitors have commented on how great our water tastes.

When COVID hit, I added a 6th stage, which is a UV light to treat the water. My wife is Uber paranoid about this stuff... Anyway, then recently I added a 7th stage re-mineralizer.

A 3 year supply of filters runs me $115.

We love it and you don't have to be a plumber to install it.

Ever heard of a Britta filter?

I am renting a Culligan reverse osmosis filtration system. It's super expensive. But they service it and change the filters. It's on my kitchen sink. I've had it for over a year at least. Long before this thing happened.

Boomers fuckin' loovvvvveeee chains and Cranberry Township is chock full of them. It's like a concert just for boomers, where all their favorite brands are playing.

Are you talking about a reverse osmosis system?

Don’t forget about the energy spent to move that water to the store and then your home. Water is heavy, and it’s not an insignificant factor.

In the case of the 5 gallon refills at the store: those are machines are filtering tap water and are essentially a big ass Britta. So why not filter it at home?

Need to do more research on Distillers for sure. Never even thought about it.

For someone with 420 in their name, you sure are discerning about your snackage

I agree with you on the environmental end with all the single use plastic. That is typically why I buy the gallon jugs to help mitigate that (still bad I know), and now, trying to just have 5 Gal jugs I can get refilled and reuse.

And almost all bottled water is tap... besides spring. I love some Deer Park Spring but its getting pricier and pricier.

Good, that shit sucks.

I think its a "better safe than sorry" option for them.

PWSA ships it directly to my house through pipes buried underground. It's a weird setup, but it works out well for us.

Guerrilla marketing for Titebond III wood glue. That's a solid tower.

In all seriousness, years ago we went to an amazing one in Willam Penn hotel(I think that’s what it was called) it’s an Omni now and looks like they do t do high tea anymore.

Here’s an article I found about places that do high tea as of last spring. https://nextpittsburgh.com/features/escape-to-bridgerton-at-the-pittsburgh-areas-6-best-spots-for-high-tea/2/

PWSA. It comes right to my house, on demand, without me having to do anything. It’s also affordable, they will sell me 1000 gallons for $14.64. Or you can go to a store and buy 5 gallon jugs at a cost of $500 for a 1,000 gallons.

Buy a quality filter that hooks up to your water supply. It’s a terrible idea environmentally and financially to use bottled water as your primary drinking supply.

Almost all bottled water is filtered tap water.

We did this during our kitchen reno. HD though. 6ish for the bottle (I think) after the first-time, when you bring back the bottle.

Arby’s on McKnight

I just use a home water distiller don’t ever have to worry about the source or plastic leaching from containers. Just add electrolytes in to taste after and you’re good to go. You could source Mon water if you wanted.

Looks like me carrying all my groceries in the house in one trip
