Urgh, suggestions on how to drink town water...

[Indadhanu]

I am so with you on this! Our town water here is FERAL. It tastes like I'm chewing on a metal pipe and its really hard. I want my sunny coast water back, it seemed so much fresher! I'm going to boil and hope it works! Hope you get some nice water soon xxxxx

Boil it hun!!! The water down here is so merky and yucky so deff have to boil it, bottle it/jug it and put it in the fridge.

Boil it, or can you buy a filter thingy which cleans the water?? Can't think of what they're called, but I would think they would slightly change the taste of the water too??

Try getting a Brita tap filter, and then use it to fill the kettle or a pot to boil it. Then pop it in the fridge or keep it on the bench. You can also get tablet thingies that dissolve and purify water. Try googling for those.

Were we used to live the water was exactly as you described... only it wasn't flouridated. I used a Brita jug and it worked great.

I boil the water and let it cool before filtering in my Brita jug, it means I have several containers of water in my fridge cooling to keep up with this water sculling family We have bore water in with the town water as well as flouride

I couldn't stand the smell of tap water when I was pregnant, so we had large 15L bottles delivered to the house - cheaper than buying it at the supermarket.

Then we switched over to a Stefani ceramic filter - bought the bench-top set-up at Bunnings for about $50. Have been pretty pleased with the result. Perhaps the filter you were using wasn't a good one?
