Re: poweder formula - what type of water do you use?

  • i use the filtered water from my fridge.
  • Loading the player...
  • I boil tap water and then cool it in the refrig.
    **the new version of the nest ate my pictures and I can't get them back again***
  • We use a Brita dispenser (not the pitcher, the 2 gallon dispenser with the spout).  It sits out on the counter so the water stays at room temp and empty and refill every other day.
  • I purchase gallon jugs of drinking water from the store.  They're usually 99 cents a jug, and saves me the hassle of boiling water. 

    /tap water here smells bad. Not gonna use it.

  • we have filter pitcher for the fridge, so I am just going to get another one to put in counter for room temp water, or just nuke the other water havent decided yet
  • poland spring- i would never drink tap so i am never going to give it to her

    boiling is a pita- and brita spout doesnt work with my faucet for some reason- poland spring is the easiest

  • gallon jugs of spring water.
  • We have a water cooler where you have the 5 gallon jugs on it.  I fill up a smaller bottle (I think 32 ounces) and sit that on the counter.  I have the water cooler in the dining room since our kitchen is beyond tiny and I want the water in the kitchen for bottles so I just refill that as needed.  She takes her bottles at room temp.  I won't drink the tap here so I won't give it to her.
  • Tap. No funny colors, smells or tastes in ours.?

  • We were using straight tap, but I just today bought a Pur three stage filter for the faucet cuz DH claims our tap water tastes funny.  So now it will be filtered tap.

  • I buy the gallons of Poland Spring, and use it, room temp.
