    How does it compare to water running through plastic pex pipes in your house?

      Never mind the plastic pipes in your home, there’s nothing filtering the water from the treatment plant to your tap. Literally kilometres worth of pipes that haven’t been cleaned in years or decades that your tap water is running through.

      Not to mention that municipal water in Canada can be tainted with high levels of lead..

      Bottled water may have “plastic particles”, but some brands put their bottled water through reverse osmosis filtering, so it’s way cleaner than your tap water.

      And I am NOT advocating for drinking plastic bottled water, simply pointing out that tap water isn’t really “clean” once it reaches your home. I filter all the water I consume.
