19QOS19 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 What is the temperature differential? I would also like to know this. Given that a fridge will be between 0 and 5 degrees I'd be amazed if a water cooler was a lot colder than that.Maybe I need to fiddle with my fridge settings but I always think it tastes colder out a cooler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Given all the water discussion, not an unpopular opinion but the best part about winter by a considerable distance is that water comes straight out the tap very cold and at and drinkable, excellent for a hangover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Fizzy water is better than still water (unless in the aforementioned scenario of cold out of a tap while hungover).Borjomi is delicious in the summer but grim in the winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Still tastes like shite tho, unless its Highland. If you ever wonder who the person in the supermarket that actually buys the massive multipacks of bottled water, it's me. Spend a ridiculous amount of money on the stuff and don't even care. The hierarchy of water is thus: Highland tap water Any bottled water except Buxton water Buxton water Central belt tap water Raw sewage London tap water You’ll probably find that many bottled water products are in fact just mains water which has been bottled. Never had anyone testing the water coming from my taps was what I meant. Must be loads of houses with shitty old pipes. The mains water supply is tested 365 days a year (legal requirement) and if you’ve not had anyone visit you personally to test the water, some of your neighbours or other folk nearby in your supply zone will have. In regards to the ‘shitty old pipes’, once the water crosses the boundary of your property, any issues stemming from the pipework becomes your responsibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 In my grandparents house in Shetland they used to get peat in the water quite often. When I was running a bath it would frequently have quite a bit of peat in it. I was always told that it was good for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s an arguable case that people who live in rural areas fed by springs or other private water supplies are actually healthier because they have a far stronger immune system than the rest of us who are used to the old cooncil juice. PH8.8-9.4 for a healthier drink of water. Yup, I’ve seen a case-study suggesting drinking slightly alkaline water has various benefits. Medically I think it’s still quite open to interpretation at the moment though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there's many variables. But cancer cells don't like alkalines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would suggest there's no proven link and it could be harmful. Quote Your body isn’t designed to drink alkaline water alone. If you drink too much, it can disrupt the acid production in your stomach. This can result in indigestion or stomach ulcers. Other risks include vulnerability to bacterial overgrowth and other germs causing infection in your small intestine. Your body may also have difficulty digesting and absorbing nutrients. https://www.healthline.com/health/cancer/alkaline-water-cancer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the benefits of being married to a doctor. Drinking too much water in one sitting, regardless of PH isn't good for you either. Your body is more suited to constant sipping as opposed to large gulps. It's the same principle for eating too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
