As most of you know I never recommend drinking tap water as pretty much all tap water contains many pollutants. In the UK I always suggest drinking safe water as the type supplied direct to our taps is not fit for human consumption. Their are some areas lucky enough to get fresh spring water (hello friends in Fort William), but on the whole its safe to assume you get supplied with water that is NOT fit for your consumption. Often people tell me that they consume filtered water and I have to explain that Brita filters are practically useless and a massive waste of money. Bottled can contain impurities and theirs also the worry of it being in a plastic bottle. However, evian is my recommended starting place for most people before they invest in their own filtration system at home.
The best way to get pure water is via steam distillation using a water distiller. This method leaves you with water that is purer than any bottled water and far far cleaner than tap water. It also beats any other filtration system and provides you with adequate amounts of clean drinking water and a great price. Visit my store to find a home water distiller at a great price, click on the water page. In your first year of ownership it works out at around 9 pence a litre so you'll quickly recoup your investment costs compared to the expense of buying quality bottled water.

Sounds lovely which is why we've all shifted to bottled water. I've always believed we shouldn't have to pay a premium to drink clean water that is so important for our health. Put quite simply, its essential to long term health that our water is clean in order to avoid our body having to work overtime as a filtration system.
