Why does water taste so bad?!

[FallenWarrior]

Scanian water is good, but English water is crap

[gregathit]

I have had mountain spring water, water from artesian wells and everything in between, it all tastes like crap to me.  I have to spritz my water with a drink enhancer to be able to enjoy it.

 

Something like Mio or the generic equivalents work best for me:

 

[Strelky]

Flavoring makes it taste worse in my opinion, my filter is a reverse osmosis, so my tap water tastes better than the bottled water down the street

[Astaroth-Lite]

Yeah, ever since I had gotten a filter pitcher as a gift a few years back I've never been able to drink straight tap water.

 

The chlorine is especially obnoxious even if it is a necessity.

[Kerrigan]

i live near mountain and the water here tastes really good and exhilarating

 

not to mention there are some hotsprings nearby

[kingkong]

i for once love water  and i find that all water has a different tast nice to great even with a lot of nitrate or pesticide

 

but from the day i have bought an osmosis purification for my aquarium with a carbon filtering : the water has no more smell and tast wanderfull .   the only inconvenient is that for 1 litter of purified water you loose about 4 the advantage is you do not need to buy any plastic water bottle any more.

I remember being unable to drink the tap water as a kid because of the taste. I'd complain to my mother that it tasted like toothpaste, and she explained the city put fluoride in it to help people fight cavities. I told her it was a stupid idea, since it was because of the fluoride that I was refusing to drink it and it wouldn't do me any good anyway. My mother said it was a good point, and she wished the local government was that smart.

 

Anyway, buy a filter pitcher. It works wonders for me.

 

yeah too many chemicals, its better to filter water

[Cyndi]

Well the soapy taste some people get is probably their town putting in long-chain linear phosphates for pipe corrosion.

That stuff basically is a soap depending on the company that made it... 

It's one of the more common types of chemicals that gets dumped into town/city water next to flouride.

I'm drinking delicious water right now.

 

So nice to live in a place where the tap water is actually not shit.

Portland?

[Astaroth-Lite]

Remember to drink eight glasses of water each day.

 

Also brush and floss your teeth, they're looking kinda nasty right now.

[Strelky]

Eight is a bit excessive, overhydration is real, and some people don't take seriously

 

Of course, it depends how big your glasses are, my are, 16-20 oz so i only need maybe one or two

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

A lot of the water you need is in the food you eat, so eight glasses is overkill.

over-hydration?

 

If there is such thing is probably feels like drowning on dry soild ground.

[Queen Bee]

Yes, there is such a thing as over-hydration, and it's can lead to water intoxication. Interesting side note, the symptoms are so similar to dehydration, marathon runners and cyclists are weighed before a race. If they start showing symptoms, they weigh them again. If they weigh less than at the start, it's dehydration. If more, it's over-hydration.

[Emily]

Oh dear, so there is such things.

[Captain Cobra]

Everything can kill you.

Leading cause of death is breathing.

please translate

[Astaroth-Lite]

Well you can't die if you aren't alive to begin with. It's sound logic.

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

死亡の主要な原因は、呼吸している

 

主要死亡原因是呼吸

 

Johtava kuolinsyy hengittää

 

Principal causa de muerte es la respiración

 

Ведущей причиной смерти дышит

 

גורם מוביל למוות הוא נושם

 

Nejčastější příčinou smrti dýchá

 

Grootste oorsaak van dood is asemhaling

[Strelky]

¿Que?

[Emily]

Very funny strelky.

 

Anyway, now emily have a bad quality water condition for almost a week. The fly over road construction finally hit the pipe reservoir. the water taste like mud and rust coloring.

 

Now we have to buy mineral waters for cooking and drinking.

[El Sparrow]

And you're sure that you don't have the cold water pipe mixed up with the waste water pipe? 'Cuz... that stuff definitely doesn't taste good

 

It either has to work itself out of the pipes or they have to re-flush them with foam pigs to clean them out. 

 

Ooh, bacon-flavoured water! Foamy bacon is my favourite kind.
