Purified water versus tap water

[Reconscope]

Is there a difference to dogs cats and whatever else animal? (humans excluded)

 

[SummerWolf]

If it's consumable to humans it will be good for animals too. It would be a different case with water from a well or with rain water.

It's a question definitely worth asking after all they are our everything

 

[SummerWolf]

Yes, that's right!

 

[Reconscope]

The default of course is using tap water but research should be done on purified water

Animals are usually more capable of drinking worse water than humans are. So it is good enough for humans, it is more that good enough for animals.
Tap water is already purified and disinfected. The only thing that can happen is a leak in the pipes that would contaminate it.

What about the fact types these days have harmful contaminants which cause brain issues as well as brain cell damage leading you to a skew of issues

What are those and where is it proven?

When I was growing up there's a bunch of news on it.

As well as water purifiers also exist

That might have changed in the meanwhile. Water treatment has improved over the years.

What about them?
You can buy a personal one that you put under the sink or a larger one for the entire house.

Why do they exist if water treatment is so good as well as showing the benefits how contaminated our water really is

There are situations where these things do a good service. Usually another things shops can sell.

Why do they exist

In some places you need them. Like if you have your own well for example. Or if you go camping and bring a small filter since you are not going to be carrying 50l of water with you.
And because people buy them.

Just another product if there's any contaminants? Just asking

I meant, it's good for the people whose are selling these things.

I never knew there's sinks in the wild ? (pulling your leg)


(Off note survival stuff) i already have anti microplastic filters in case stuff happens.

But seriously... those filters that we attach to sinks if water treatment is really great why do we need them. ?

I guess that makes sense if it's performing its job well I don't see why not sell such a thing if it's needed

You do not. I depends on where you live, but if you live in an area where water is treated to be completely safe by the city, you do not need a filter and it is sold to you just because companies need to make money. That is why they advertise so heavily. And often make dubious claims.

Omg thanks that's just what I want to hear.

 

[Tigercat]

My vet told me it makes no diffrence. She said if tap water us safe for us it's safe for them.

Anyone's input will improve the perspective of anybody view in this so thank you

I have town water here, and it's safe to drink, but I filter it in a big 8L tank thing for drinking purposes, just because it makes the water taste better since it removes a chemical or two that add a taste to the water that is coming out of the tap. but for everything else besides for drinking use (no matter how many legs the drinker has) I don't filter it. So having a filter on the tap itself for most of us I would think is overkill. But it will really depend on the quality that is coming out of your tap to begin with.

I use a filter because of the movie of "the crazies"

 

[d7art]

I live in town and I still filter my drinking and cooking for me and my animals. I new a guy he worked at a couple of water plants he told me they all falsified records to show the water is drinkable.

That's a bit alarming, Some things filters aren't always going to get out of the water, in such cases boiling is required as well. So I hope no one gets sick if they just drink the water out of the tap from that water treatment plant your friend worked at.

I don't know that movie reference, was it a good movie? Or something to give me nightmares and make me paranoid about drinking water.

My friend worked at 3 different plants he said the all where doing it. My water is pump out of a river they chlorinate it to kill the bugs and filter it and test it and sometime the tests are over the standards for drinking water so the alter the number so it will pass. So I think it's best to filter yourself too.

Government experimenting with chemical warfare on its own citizens in a village from their own water. I also get the feeling the government could contaminate the water for infertility also.
