Personally I get my fluoride from toothpaste!. I don't need it from any government entity!. The only difference in your filtered water and their bottled water is their filter cost much more!. It is absolutely ridiculous what is happening in this regard today!. Every 90 odd year old living today drank tap water!. But people insist on paying upwards of $2 for a 32oz bottle of water in a convenience store!. When we're out and about if I want water, I get a cup of ice and get the "filtered" water from the soda machine, pay a small fee usually !.25 or !.30 cents!. CHEERS! ;-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Filters are very basic items!. Advanced systems are actually classified as purification systems!. A reverse osmosis system is considered to be a purification system and not a filtering system!. I agree with you!. Brita is a joke!. It is only a basic filter as is Pur and plenty of others!.

Bottled water is no more regulated than tap water!. Some is simply bottled, some gets filtered, and some is purified!. If I can at all help it the only bottled water I drink when I am out is Aquafina and Deer Park!.

Your home system is better than most home systems and better than most bottled watter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I use bottled water!. I don't think one is better than the other - it is really what is better for you!.

Bottled water can get expensive and inconvenient if you have to lug around 12 liter bottles!.

However, you can cause serious health probems if you don't change your filter on your tap or Brita often enough!. It can be more damaging than the unfiltered tap water!.

Just depends on you and where you live!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
