All spring waters should be treated with caution…

I wasn’t talking about taste, I was talking about “source”, if you re-read the post properly, Mike. I did not mention tap water at all, you did.

You need to do a bit more investigation of your own – don’t blindly believe what large conglomerates tell you. They’d tell you it was found on the moon and people would still believe it, such is the laziness of the population who are brainwashed by their TV nowadays. I’m not one of them lol.

My spring water tastes very different to the chlorinated tap water you get. I do not buy this argument at all. I can only assume that you really do not know what real water tastes like. Comparing heavily chlorinated water from taps to natural sourced water is a joke. It has never done me any harm and I don’t know anyone whom it has. If your fortunate to have a natural spring, as on my farm, you have to be careful where it eminates from. If there is no industry or bad things leaching into the surrounding water table then I think it’s fine to drink. I’m no expert on mineral bottled water but I would much rather that than tap water. I do appreciate however that it is overly priced.

Whilst I fully accept what Josephine Quintero says with respect to the water in Malaga MAY be true and that her report GENERALLY contains a great deal of valid points I can assure her she most certainly would NOT DARE to venture as far as drinking the tap water in the Campo of Chiclana de la Frontera for TOO long!
