Thanks for the input everyone. I am deciding if I should install one of those under the sink water filter machine or purely buying a water jug with a filter (Brita)? (hence the reason why I am posting here).

It is interesting how some people are so stereotype (living in Rhodes = most likely Chinese). Unfortunately I have to disappoint you, I am not from China, but other part in Asia. Also, what's Chinese got to do with drinking tap water? From my little research online, the tap water quality in China is even worst than Australia

Hi R66ald,

I suspect that you are actually doing research on how quickly an innocuous topic like tap-water can go political these days - that there can be extreme-left and extreme-right views (or views characterised as such by their opponents) even about tap-water.

I suppose it depends on people's obsessions :). Devilishly cunning. Good work !

R66ald,

We are all Asian now following the Asianization of Australia during the Great Asianization Period (1980-2020) in Australian history.

I now call us Australianese instead of Australian so that we can all see ourselves as equal members of an Asian nation-state.

How's that sound? Make you happy? And please feel free to drink as much water as you want. After all, you're paying for it.

Australian city tap waters are safe for drinking, however flush the first litre before using as most fittings have an amount of Lead in the fittings. These fittings currently are products of China. If you are chemical sensitive there are bottled water that contains no chemicals.

Let the experts guide your choices. And below is a link to the world expert on water contamination, Chad Morgan.

I've got a Brita water filter jug.
They have specials on them as the refill cartridges from time to time.
It's best to grab the 3pk of refill cartridges when they're on special as they aren't exactly cheap.
- But they work well enough, the waters pretty good from them.
