Where to get clean drinking water in college?

<p>Buy glass bottles if you’re so worried. </p>

<p>I don’t think I’ve ever seen regular drinking water come in glass bottles. I have seen water come in an aluminum can though.</p>

<p>lol canned water sounds ridiculous, then again I’ve seen the glass drinking water. It’s called Voss and it comes from freakin’ Finland, just as bad as Fiji water. I mean christ, they send ships loaded with water halfway around the world when you can get the exact same thing from your tap here in the US. If that’s not inefficient I don’t know what is.</p>

<p>Water from taos can be nasty. At umich the dorm water where I lived was pretty heavy. I might have just not liked the taste but I bought a filter. Also went to the water fountain to fill up plastic bottles.</p>

<p>I hate when people ask “your college specific questions” here. We wouldnt know where to get “clean drinking water” at YOUR college. How about researching/wait till you get on campus? That would make the most sense.</p>

<p>He’s asking what we do to get water. Notice how he didnt say a specific college.</p>

<p>It still doesnt matter. Its still relative to the college. If the OP’s school is like mine and has an automated water filter for water bottles, you wouldnt need to boil water or buy a filter.</p>

<p>Actually, I have to agree with jdroid on this. I think the idea that drinking water at college isn’t “clean” is a little over the top, but I don’t think there’s any ridiculousness in the OP’s having asked basically, “So what do you do about this where you go to college?”</p>

<p>lol. I don’t care who you agree with; I’m not here debating with anyone. I said my piece and that’s that.</p>

<p>I’ll probably use tap. If not that, I’ll keep a full filtered pitcher in my fridge. (Or a regular pitcher with tap in it.)</p>

<p>A Brita Filter is usually the best solution. Kinda sucks if you don’t have a minifridge and can’t keep it cold though.</p>

<p>in the main office of our engineering building there was a water cooler. it was mostly meant for visitors and people being interviewed but I filled up my water there sometimes. along with stealing some tea bags…
try finding the main office for your department. it’ll seem less random of you since you actually have a major in that building :p</p>

<p>If you are in the US or other country where the tap water is safe to drink, drink from the tap or water fountain.</p>

<p>If the tap water is safe but does not taste very good, fill up a pitcher with a filter in it.</p>

<p>If the tap water is unsafe due to microorganisms, purify it with a purifier or boil it.</p>

<p>If the tap water is unsafe due to other reasons, buy distilled water.</p>

<p>Learn to trust the tap. It may make you feel uncomfortable at first, and you might even get sick, but your body will adjust and things will be great!</p>

<p>I personally just turn on the tap and sip; saves having to wash a cup. I’ve done this even when the water tasted quite foul and I haven’t a problem.</p>

<p>Substitute water for vodka. Can’t miss.</p>

<p>Cuisinart 1.5 Gallon Water Filter $69.95 on amazon
water is always cold and tastes great</p>

<p>I have one of those Brita bottles that has a filter. Only downside is it’s not very big, so I have to refill it a lot.</p>

<p>I’ve also seen these around: [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.waterbobble.com/all-products]all”&gt;http://www.waterbobble.com/all-products]all</a> products | bobble | filtered water bottles | make water better<a href=“but%20I’ve%20never%20used%20one%20myself”>/url</a>.</p>

<p>I don’t know what college you are attending, but perhaps in your dorms there are water bottle refilling stations where you can refill aluminum bottles or BPA-free plastic bottles. They have these stations at UC Davis.</p>

<p>Yeah, they’re called faucets! Haha</p>
