I actually appreciate this thread. I am so sorry for Bass's wife.

I too drink not-distilled but filtered pure water. I figure tap water is pretty dirty. However, I take natural salts.

Afraid of bad tasted heavy metal induced water. But, filtering minerals is not so good either, I guess.

Drinking 2 gallon or 2 litters of water was (still is?) once a big thing among women. For diet and health. I used to do that too.

I read an Eastern med doc's book that explains drinking a lot of water is not necessarily good and changed my habit.
