NYC tap waters the worst last time I read up
I'm living on the island.
What I'm saying is that I actually actively boil my water once I get it from the tap.
Takes no more than 10mins.
I do occasionally buy bottled water, like when I'm out and about and thirsty. Obviously then, I have no choice. But if I am home, I drink tap water, after boiling it first of course.
...
Just seems more expensive boiling than to just spend $2-$5 bucks on a case 1 pint bottles and toss them in the fridge.
I actually have a water filter system that DOES remove the poison flouride.

i used to drink out of ppls hoses when i was a kid playing bball in the summers... immune system at wolverine level.
Bottled water has become so popular that 41 billion gallons are consumed every year around the world. Many people consider it safe and convenient.
Over the past few years, however, many bottled water companies labeling their product as "purified" or "natural spring water" have confessed to filling their products with simple tap water. In July 2007, for instance, Pepsi admitted to filling bottles of Aquafina with public water, even though the packaging suggests the water comes from natural springs [source: Environmental Working Group].
Recent studies have concluded that bottled water is no safer than tap water, and the costs of producing the drink and its effect on the environment have caused some alarm [source: National Geographic News].
To understand how expensive regular bottled water is, let's compare it with gasoline. With the price of oil rising, we typically think of gasoline as very expensive. On the other hand, some of us will barely blink an eye at picking up a few bottles of water from the same gas station. Here are the numbers:
A gallon of gas costs around $3. If we assume a one-liter bottle of water from the store costs about $2.50, a gallon of the same bottled water should cost about $10. Water, life's most necessary substance, costs about three times more than gasoline when it comes in a plastic bottle. If you wanted to fill up a car's 15-gallon tank with gasoline, it would cost you about $45. If you wanted to fill up that same 15-gallon tank with bottled water, it would cost you $150 [source: National Geographic News].
Tap water, on the other hand, costs a fraction of the price of bottled water. The same $2 you spend on a liter of bottled water will get you about 1,000 gallons of tap water [source: EPA].

NYC tap water doe>>>
I've read that Philly has one of the best tap water filtration plants in the country. Not sure what that actually means but I drink it all the time and am rarely ever sick so I'm gonna keep doing it. Besides, our ancestors prolly drank water that was 100x dirtier than this and they still kept the evolution train moving so I think we'll be fine.
I figured a filter wouldn't get everything, but if there's something that does, share the wealth.
Ok, here you go.

This is the most inexpensive way to filter your water. I have the traveler because there's only
two living at my house and you only need one regular filter and one flouride filter to make it
run. If you have more than three people in your residence you should probably go with one
of the bigger units. To totally purify your water, you need to buy the flouride filter piggyback unit
which is an extra $40. The crap in our tap water ( in every state ) is the reason everyone is so
complacent now and accepting this false reality that we live in. YES, the tap water makes you
stupid because you are ingesting poison, urine and feces
