I've seen endless research to prove that Water Fluoridation is very harmful to health and the environment. It needs to end now but unfortunately in Australia they are still forcing the 'medication' upon us even though we are already exposed from many other sources and there is no way to monitor the intake or benefit from ingesting it.
We recently had our tap water polluted by fluoride in Queensland by asshole politicians even though they said they wouldn't do it without a referendum but went ahead anyway saying how totally safe if was. A few months later the machine malfunctioned and 4000 homes in Brisbane were exposed to about 20-30x the maximum 'safe' level of fluoride and were only notified weeks later. If it had been higher it could have killed them or permanently damaged their health and it probably has but seems they're going to give it to us and the environment whether we like it or not... I guess it's a cheap way to dispose of all the toxic smelting waste.
http://www.blatantpropaganda.org…I use a Hexagon 8-Stage Water Purifier which is ok, and gets most of the fluoride out, then fill a stainless steel flask when I go out so I don't need to buy water. Reverse osmosis wastes too much water and takes out the natural minerals.

I just got that same one, I used to have a blue / generic one from target, that got stolen when my roomate's car got broken into, then I got the same generic one, and left it on the freezer for too long, and it got all warped, unable to stand on it's own.
So I got the sigg one.
why do they make you turn the cap so many times before the bottle is closed? with the generic/ target one, you only turned the cap once, and blam, you are good to go... this thing requires you to turn it 4 or 5 times before it's closed, PISSES ME OFF

tap water in germany is of very good quality overall. But I am amazed how different it tastes from region to region... here in berlin it tastes awful so I rarely drink it but when I visit my parents in the countryside, the water is awesome, very pure...

Get a filter fitted to your tap, they remove a lot more shit that a Brita, no need to keep refilling and you don't get ripped-off buying the filters. Bottled water is a bit of a nonsense.

we used to have one of those sink britas when I lived in manhattan and that thing would slow to a drip in like 5 days. kinda freaked me out. nyc is supposed to have good tap water though. but nothing tastes as good as the artesian well I grew up with in the sticks of new hampshire.

Some bottled spring water (that is essentially tap water from a different location) could be better than your own local municipal water.
For instance, New Hampshire and Maine seem to have relatively better municipal water than New Jersey or New York State.
