i never saw it, sorry.
Minimize your footprint and maximize your loot by picking up one of these re-usable filtered water bottles. Gail shows us how the Bobble works and ...
I've got a bad habit of opening a bottle of water, drinking less than half and leaving it somewhere, then forgetting about it and opening a new one.
I understand after a couple days (especially if left uncapped) this is an all-inclusive party for bacteria growth.
Rather than throwing these half-consumed bottles of water, would an effective treatment be to run them through my PUR or Brita Water pitcher in the fridge?
you could boil the water if you were that fearful....
I am deciding whether to start a fresh water fish tank or a salt water fish tank. I have heard arguments on both sides on which tank is easier to keep. I know that salt water fish are a lot prettier than fresh water fish. Is there any nice fresh water fish that are colorful like salt water fish? I have a 40 gallon tank. Any suggestions?
On another topic… I had a beta fish that died after about 2 days of switching his water. I used half Brita filtered water and half bottled water. A couple days after he died I got 2 gold fish and they died very soon also. I cleaned and changed the water with the new gold fish but used the same combo of water. Is Brita water bad for fish?
Brita water is ok for fish, no problem there. It is equal to water that has been run through a filter that contains carbon ( interesting that the Brita does the same as your tank filter yet people say it's bad) Brita filters do not remove the vast majority of minerals from the water. It will remove suspended materials but not dissolved materials and would not affect the hardness for example. So your Brita didn't do it.
As for colorful freshwater fish I would suggest you check out African cichlids and killifish. They might surprise you.

Ok, I'm not sure where you live and all, but where I live the water is very hard and full of chemicals. I went out and bought a Brita water filter, both the kind you put on your faucet and the kind that you just fill up (like a pitcher). Let me tell you when I went to replace those filters ... ICK! I was so glad my kids weren't drinking that water. A replacement filter typically comes in a package of three and is about $30 dollars (that's about an estimate because I get mine at BJ's and you can get like six to ten for like $40 dollars, so I save like $10 to $20 bucks). A filter lasts about hmmm ... three months with my yucky water (there is a little thing on the faucet filter that tells you when you need to replace the filter). The pitcher one lasts about 40 fill ups. So in my opinion, YES, it's worth it and much cheaper than buying bottle water (plus you'd be helping the environment because you wouldn't be buying more plastic).
Always do your research and compare. Good luck
My friends keep saying I need to go buy jugs of nursery water to mix with my baby's formula. The water at our house tastes like bottled water, but we have a brita filter anyways. I was plannning on using the brita water for her bottles but now people keep saying how important it is to use nursery water! what do you think? nursery water? or is the brita filter water ok?
Oh I wouldn't worry about using nursery water, tap water is fine and brita water is better, you'll baby will be fine, there are gonna be far more dangerous things in her life than the water you use for her bottles. If the water we drink wasn't safe for babies then i am sure the midwives and health officials would tell us

Every year over 200 billion bottles of water are sold. According to current estimates less than 25% of the empty bottles are recycled. It’s an environmental disaster. If all those empty bottles were laid out end to end they would cover enough distance to get to the moon and back – 56 times!
What’s more, in blind taste tests most people can’t tell the difference between common or garden tap water and bottled water.
And, as if that wasn’t bad enough, some bottled water has been found to contain chemicals which “leech” out of the plastic (PET) bottles.
Anyway – Brita’s anniversary pack has everything you need to get great tasting healthy water at home or on the go.
Here’s what you get:
