If the tap water here were drinkable, I would gladly use it as an alternative. Unfortunately, because it doesn’t rain in southern California basically well… ever, our water has to be brought in via a giant dirt ditch from Colorado. This means it tastes like chalky, overly-chlorinated swimming pool water by the time it gets to our tap, and leaves a funky aftertaste.

I’ve tried using just about every water filter on the market, but none of them work well enough to stomach.

Hey, at least I recycle the bottles fairly religiously.
