I’ll be moving to Baton Rouge, which has some of the most polluted water in the country. I was thinking about just having bottled water delivered to me but then when I take a shower, I could still be subject to the contaminants. Should I get a whole house water filter instead? But, then I was thinking the plumbing could already be polluted. Plus, when I go out to any restaurant, the water will be dangerous also.

I have a large project in mind and one of the restrictions is faces is water storage.
Water is to be collected, stored and eventually consumed over a period of many years. One option I’ve been considering is storing excess water, but one concern is if it eventually expires or ‘goes bad’ over time.

So it’s a two part question.
1) Does water eventually expire and become undrinkable? (foreign contaminants excluded such as pollution, kids, etc)
2) If so, what are some options available in order to prolong shelf life?

Thanks in advance.

or can I use Pur or Brita type to *sufficiently* do the job? I have an infant so the contaminants are a major concern.
Our last house had great water quality so we have a faucet-mounted Brita… we’d love to buy a new filter and call it a day.I think Brita and the like are able to get rid of lead, but uranium?
So be brutally honest, if I have to shell out the big bucks for reverse osmosis let me know!
Thanks!
Well, I do live in a rocky area, a Native American area.
The uranium is not exceeding legal limits but is just higher than other areas. The lead is due to a shooting range near the lake we live on.

I appreciate the info about reverse osmosis being wasteful. I wasn’t aware! Thanks!

They say that tap water is better than bottled water, both for us, and the environment. Here lies the problem. (I’m from NC btw) I used to drink straight from the sink or the fridge door. It tasted fine (like you would expect water to taste) and I almost replaced soda/tea/coffee entirely. I moved to TX (Killeen) and I can’t stand the water here! At first I could barely stand to take a shower in it but obviously I had to get used to it.(If I don’t keep the bathroom door open I still get that weird feeling like I’ve been in the pool too long) I tried attached a Pur filter to my tap, it didn’t really help. I took the filtered water and put it in a Brita pitcher… Nothing. I can still taste that chemically-cholriny gunk. I do buy water by the gallon rather than individual bottles, but I’d like to drink from the tap again. I can’t really modify my sink/plumbing area (yay apartment living). Other than the above filters and boiling water every time I get thirsty, what can I do? Buying all those gallons can’t be any better than buying Auqafina?
I checked the water reports available online for both my current city and my home. Home seems to have a lot less of most of the contaminants listed. *lightbulb*

Do I need a reverse osmosis system, or another filer, to remove higher-than-normal lead and uranium?
or can I use Pur or Brita type to *sufficiently* do the job? I have an infant, he is my world and it is my job to protect him the best way I can. So, you can imagine why the contaminants are a major concern here.

So be brutally honest, if I have to shell out the big bucks for reverse osmosis let me know! And please, don’t just say "Move away" or "Don’t drink the water". Those aren’t options : )

I live in a rocky area, like a Native American mountain area. The uranium is not exceeding legal limits but the level is just higher than other areas. The lead is due to a shooting range near the lake we live on. Both substances in my water are above California "health guidelines" due to the lack of enforced federal guides keeping us safe, so this is what I’m going by.

Last time I posted a question, someone said something about reverse osmosis being costly to operate and wasteful of resources. I wasn’t aware how many gallons are thrown away by the process! Thanks!

Hi. I am trying to figure out something about water filters. I used to live in CT. And the water tasted fine. But I had a PUR water filter anyway to get rid of all the contaminants in the water. I would say I changed the filter about once a month. Just recently I moved to South Carolina. And I have noticed that the tap water here does not taste good. Even when I filter it with my PUR filter, it still tastes almost as bad as coming straight out of the tap. So I want to invest in a new water purifier, and I am trying to figure out what the best one to buy is. I have a small kitchen sink. So I need one that is able to be put in the fridge. Not one on the sink itself. And I have done some research. But I want to invest my money wisely and not just go with what the website for pur or britta or ect… says. So I was wondering what everyone else thinks is the best. And maybe that can help me make up my mind.

Thanks all.
Ok. Can anyone say why they think theres is the best. Like if you have ever used them or seen them used. I want to make sure its just more then you have seen and believed the commercial.

I have a spring on a piece of land in North Georgia that I currently had the water tested. The water is pure w/ no detectable contaminants. I’ve searched online and cannot for the life of me find where or who to contact in regards to selling the water. I’m just looking for a company that would be interested in purchasing it from me, and then do the bottling on their own.

Anyone done this before or know of a contact for me to get in touch with?
