Is your tap water good to drink, or do you have to filter it first?


Ours is terrible without a filter, we use Culligan Water Treatment. They come every month and replace the filter. Because we have so many people in the house we have two filters. It cost us $45 a month. It is an expense at times but well worth it after. You realize how worth it after trying to take a shower in sulfur water.

Ours smells like rotten eggs and if you let it sit, you can see the sulfur precipitate at the bottom of the glass.
We have a Brita filter that attaches to the kitchen faucet, and we filter all our cooking and drinking water, the animals' drinking water, and the water for the fish tank. A fliter lasts us about 6 weeks, and they cost between $14 and $18, depending on the store.

No it's not we get letters all the time from the city telling us about all the side effects and cancer we could get potentially from long term use! I know how you guys feel with the sulfur I used to live somewhere where it was really nasty and had iron too. That iron would coat my hair and everything thankfully I moved!

Ours is great! Its way better than bottled water. Before we moved here we were on an above ground well and a racoon had gotten into it some how. They always had to put chlorine in it. I'm so glad its not like that anymore.

We are not actually supposed to drink our well water! I cook with it and use it boiled, but don't drink it right from the tap.

ours is great. the first thing I did when I came to look at this house was turn on the tap. I have heard horror stories about sulfer/hell/egg water in FL LOL!

Ours is great!

No, we have to filter our water. About two years ago, the health department came out and told us that our well water tested above normal for radium. They actually have someone who is doing a doctoral thesis on why this is happening in our area, so they are monitoring it every six months. We got a reverse osmosis filtering system for our kitchen sink which is supposed to take of it. I do still worry about it though.
