Bottled Water for kettle and cooking?
Discussion
Descaling the kettle was becoming a task needed more often, a friend mentioned they had switched to bottled water.
I started asking around, it seems foreign visitors living here don't trust the water.
A large bulk of home supermarket delivery is bottled water, particularly Chinese, often that is all they order.
Thames water area, the disruption caused by broken mains and sewers as I try to work around the area ib my truck is beyond ridiculous, and seeing the s
te that comes out of broken sewers puke inducing.
Been using bottled for couple of weeks now, no scale in kettle, ran out yesterday before work, got home late and forgot it, she waa expecting me to get it but got home late too.
Scale has already started to build up in the kettle this morning.
Now thinking maybe we should use it for cooking too.
Annoying being forced to pay ever increasing water bills for something you dont trust, and paying again.
Guess health is wealth though.
Maybe I should give up London brewed beer too.
The tea is greatly improved, and no scum floating in it which appears if you like builders tea made with tap water.
How much recycled sewage do Thames Water put through the taps ? And how well recycled is it ?
What do Ofwat or whatever actually do except fine water companies for failure and where does that money go ?
Rant over lol,

If you're annoyed with lime scale, fit a water softener.
The only reason some foreign nationals use bottled water for all consumption is because that's what they genuinely needed to do at some point in the past back home. It's now just a habit. There's absolutely no good reason to do it in the UK.
If your tap water tastes like arse, then filtering it or drinking bottled water might be worth it, but there's no sane health concern.

I don't believe you lol, not in the Thames water area, softeners and filters are more faff than bottled.

Precisely this. Save your money / some plastic. The only reason some foreign nationals use bottled water for all consumption is because that's what they genuinely needed to do at some point in the past back home. It's now just a habit. There's absolutely no good reason to do it in the UK.

Plastic is supposed to get recycled, whether it does is debatable. Bit like water quality, would rather look after myself and my loved ones than Plastic.
