Hi everyone, I would like to put my twopenneth in about having clean tanks. It's not just 'jippy tummies' that you can get there are many serious water borne viruses about. If you are ill from these they can be very serious. Hepatitis A, is a water borne virus. Bugs in water can also make the young, old and immunosuppressed very il. The old and young can become dehydrated. Last thing you need is some or all of you being ill.
As for bottled water, for the Eco friendly. Did you know that it takes 2 litres of water to make 1 litre of bottled water. You can get jugs with filters on. I think the filters differ as in what they actually filter.
My neice became very ill when she was 3. This was from drinking tap water in the UK. It was a bug I can.t spell, something like, chryptosporidium. Apparently it had got into the resevior that is responsible for our tap water. My brother now only drinks water that has been boiled and filtered.
Sorry to scare anyone but you can't put a price on health.
