Bottled water, the truth
Some companies actually sell bottled tap water which they re-filter. How do they get away with this? Ok, good luck to the enterprising individuals but I think it verges on scandalous.

Bottled water, it's just another pointless way to throw your money away. The public has been duped into buying this stuff, which often is manufactured in industrial estates despite pictures of idyllic vales appearing on the labels.

| 23-10-2009 | The idea of drinking treated sewage may be repellent but if properly treated it is 100% pure and safe. Nature recycles, and so should we. | MikeP |
| 23-10-2009 | I know someone who works at the water board and it is water from the mountains not treated sewage and if he thinks the water is good (and he drinks it ) it is good enough for me . | Gix |
| 07-10-2009 | For me personally, bottled water tastes better than tap water.

| 13-9-2009 | There is no evidence whatsoever that RE-USING plastic bottles and containers presents any hazard of chemical leaching. Using bottled water stored in a cupboard for a number of years would be a different issue but the formulation of PET bottles was changed to reduce the minimal levels of leaching.

| 15-7-2008 | I prefer to reuse the bottles from bottled water, then refill them with tap water and put in the freezer. After a few hours the water is deliciously icy cold and doesn't taste like crap tap water, and if you leave it long enough to get a few ice chunks forming its even nicer.

| 16-3-2008 | Thames Water? Do you honestly trust that institution? They have doubled my water rates in 2 years flat. I now have to drink rain water. I am not properly metered regarding my consumption. TW couldn't give a damn. They just want to make money, like everyone else is this Kafkaesque existence. | H2O view |
| 16-3-2008 | It is a triumph of modern marketing that people in the United Kingdom, with universal access to cheap, clean water in the home, choose to consume an average of 37 litres of bottled water per person per year.
Unfortunately, a litre of bottled mineral water generates 600 times more carbon dioxide ...more | MikeP |
| 23-2-2008 | Tim O makes the most vaild points, the appalling harm that bottled water does to the environment. I have been offered Evian and Perrier (French) water on the other side of the world.
