It was only yesterday that we threw out a beg of sachet water because it tasted badly. It was annoying having to do that and lose the equivalent of it in amount of money especially now that a bag of water costs four times what it was some five years ago and double the price from last year.

From everything I know about water, it sums that it is a colorless, odorless and tasteless liquid. Whatever i do to make syre my water is safe must fall back to that line. And when any one of those qualities is altered, then the liquid(water) is generally termed unsafe.
And water isn't just like every other liquid. Once there's a change in it's composition, you find it really difficult to get it down your throat especially with the taste. Like the one from yesterday that tasted like it was slimy and there was some chemicals in it. Water might just be tasteless but we all appreciate it's tastelessly-sweettasting taste. I hope you get that.
For someone like myself who consumes water as a friend of mine likes to say it, "like a fish," staying conscious about my water, like every other thing that goes in my mouth is important to me. I tell anyone that asks about how I get to have great body system(almost never get ill) and a healthy skin that water is the secret. There's a lot of potency and health benefits of consuming water, lots of it, that I have learned about and learned to live by.
So, even as I consume water always, i try to stay sure of it's cleanliness level.
And it's one of the reasons why when I'm out I don't purchase water from every brand out there. But one that I can be sure and to a great extent, I trust their levels of hygiene.
Primarily, I go with my water fron home. While at home too, I own a personal bottle (rarely do I drink from a cup) that I always move around the house with. I wash it daily and top it continuously with water from the tap.
The thing with the water at home is that we treat it properly. The borehole was dug very deep and the tanks are washed very frequently. The pipes are lead-free and made with materials that wouldn't react with the water.
There are chemical-free filters too but I don't get ro use that a lot. I boil once a while, mostly when I'm not at my own house and have to consume tap water.
What has been the cheapest and most hygienic for me is taking my own water from home, in a bottle. I don't get to worry about where the water is made, how frequently the machines for packaging are cleaned and the water treatment too.
With water, there's not supposed to be so much explanations and mental work cause all it should be and is, is - Odorless, Colorless, Tasteless. Anything short of those three, then trash that imposter.
Thanks for gracing this post.
