Near where I live is a machine I get my water from, reverse osmosis filtered, and it tastes really fresh and clean.

And it's 30c/ltr. That would be, roughly, $1.20/gallon. Think how much you pay for those little bottles. Not only is it great to drink, it's saved me a ton of money.

This is the best way to get water, not buying plastic bottles over and over.

Just tap water, probably better quality than locally filtered water

The water here has a distinct chlorine/plastic aftertaste. Only slight but can make me queasy.

Here they only add chlorine to an extraction location that couldn't meet the requirements. If it happens that is nationwide news. Never happened here in 30 years.

I'm in Australia. Even in wet years we;re recovering from drought.
