    I am not a big fan on the flavor of tap water...

    other than buying cases of ozarka...what are my options?

    I bought this Berkey water filter thing...but it tastes the same as tap water. :(

    Pugsly recommended the Zero Water filtering system. It's like Breta but I love the taste better than Breta.

    I'm really picky about water too. I can taste the difference in water from Fiji to windmill 5 gallon water.

    We use ZeroWater. We originally bought a pitcher, but were drinking it so fast, we bought the bigger one with a spout at the end, it's 23 liters I think. Now we have 2 of the bigger ones, one in the refrigerator, and one outside. It comes with a water tester. The tap water at my place was/is terrible(!), and even the Ozarka bottled water isn't as clean as the ZeroWater. I would highly recommend it.

    I have a whirlpool refrigerator. The water is delicious and ice is awesome.

    I have one of those large Britta containers in the fridge, with the spout on the end.

    Put the water in a container and refrigerate it.

    For many, the difference in temperature is everything.

    I still taste chlorination for some tap water...

    If you want to live longer, have healthier skin and have more energy- only drink Fiji Water.

    Fiji Water the purest substance on earth.

    We get the big Ozarka jugs delivered. Far better than having a ton of plastic water bottles filling up your trash. You can sign up on their web site.

    Just get a water cooler, it's like 20 cents a gallon when you fill it up.
