@badradger saidIf money is an issue, then you can do two options. There is a cheap under the counter water filter. I think it costs me a total of 100 dollars a year. This would be cheaper than buying bottled water.

Another option would be to buy one of those pitcher style filters. It takes a few minutes for the water to filter, but it works too. In the end, I think that kind of filter will cost a bit more money, but still cheaper than buying bottled water.
I remember laughing when I saw a machine selling bottled water next to a drinking fountain. I thought to myself, why in the world would a person pay a dollar when water is free?

@badradger saidOh come come, you were explaining only last week how you had plenty of assets to move to, buy property and retire in Australia. I’m sure you could afford a basic water filter if you were sufficiently motivated.

@badradger saidYou should have said that to begin with instead of saying you needed sparkling water, not tab water, instead of claiming you could not drink your tap water because of the taste. I never would have made the suggestion.

Carting water in plastic bottles is a huge waste of all kinds of resources.
I have an under-sink water filter which uses one cartridge a year. It's a handy extra tap next to the mixer one. If I want sparkling water I fill my soda syphon from it. The only shopping and carting around is the yearly cartridge and a packet of syphon bulbs.
Much kinder to the planet, and much easier and cheaper for me.
