Do you drink.......

I mostly drink bottled water but have no fear of the water in my fresh tank. For instance I cook with it, make coffee, rinse my tooth brush etc.

Never have. Why take a chance with the little bit of water you actually use for drinking.

Yah, been drinking from it for 4.5 yrs, Full time, no problem. I use the Brita, going to replace it with the new filtration jug when I get the chance. and if in a bad tasting water area, use "Sweet Water' to add as I fill up... Sometimes it's a little off, but the Brita helps... Just have to clean it occasionally as it turns green, heheh, from the sun through the window...
Other than that, no problem-o... Thinking I should sanitize when the opportunity arises...
