plastic taste in drinking water

X2 Buy purified water for drinking. Most grocery stores have purified water dispensers for less than 40c gallon. There are too many problems associated with public drinking water supplies. Municipal water treatment plants do not remove toxins from the water supply such as residual amounts of prescription drugs that end up in our public drinking water. It's a bit of a hassle but worth it. I reuse the plastic jugs 3 or 4 times and then replace with new as they do have a tendency to develop pinhole leaks. Also use heavy plastic water jugs that they sell and last much longer but are expensive. They are made of a plastic that does not leach anything into the water. Most of the water dispensers use reverse osmosis filters to remove 99.99% of the contaminants from the water. Filters used in RVs will not meet this standard although they may improve the TASTE of the water.
