Investing in bottled water?

[BraggSurvivor]

I just got finished trenching a new waterline from my wellhead to a water feeder for my cows. My water here on my property is probably IMO the best in the country. It got me thinking:

Twenty years ago I never would have believed that anyone could make millions selling bottled water. Even tap water.

Now it looks like scam artists have joined in the gamble of greed to sell their "special additive" to.

What kind of water do you drink?

[crashdive123]

Mostly distilled water - about 2 gallons a day.

We have a well here but the only time I drink it, is if it's made into sweet tea or koolaid. The water that I do drink is distilled. Half a gallon a day, everyday. Costs me less than a dollar every two days.

Michigan has more water than we know what to do with and we are not sharing. I can see fresh water from my driveway.

I drink creek water, straight from the creek, no filters, just pure water. I use 3 gallon and 5 gallon containers to transport to the cabin.

Getting hard on an "OLDMAN" to grab 80 pounds of water and start marching with a 40 in each hand. How you like them apples, you wippersnappers.

Hopeak - how far to the creek from the cabin?

When I drilled my well 21 years ago and we hit a natural artesian spring at 17 feet. I had them drill the well to 54 feet for the "just in case" factor. The natural pressure was calculated at 290 gpm. Every 3-5 years I have to change the rubber seal on the well cap.....very wet experience if you have never done it before. The water is absolutely perfect. Neighbors come to fill their big cooler bottles from my outside hose bib.

Maybe I should be marketing my water instead of buying PM's?

Maybe worth more someday......

We drink the lake water, unfiltered, but will get a filter to use in spring because we get stomach problems at that time every year. Also, we might be so very lucky to have a toxic tailings pond from a molybdenum mine perched above a lake that drains into this one, so being able to filter bacteria and pollution out loooks like a good idea. Oh yeah, the untouched and pure wilderness...ha ha...

If you think that is outrageous you should look into the Kosher tax scam.

Google button works just fine. It seems that only you could turn a discussion on bottled water into a racial/religious complaint. Just wondering what you meant was all. If you don't want to "take the bait" why do you make comments like that. Sure does look like all you're doing is chumming the waters but don't have the sack to put a line in the water.

Wet water mostly. I don't care for the dry kind.

careful crash it says: Beware of our warning:
"If you are a sinner or evil in nature, this product may cause burning, intense heat, sweating, skin irritations, rashes, itchiness, vomiting bloodshot and watery eyes, pale skin color, and oral irritations."You may turn into a vampire or zombie. And of course you are right, SR just turns everything into a racial or religious argument, he's against the world ya know. Or a troll looking to get into an argument so he can bad mouth everyone. Still have no idea why he's mad at everything. Sad though, really sad. But then again he thinks Jesus was bigot so he doesn't care either way.

Never understood why people pay for bottled water.

[dilligaf2u2]

A tap and a water filter is all I need.
