Does anyone here use Perified or Spring Water or water other than tap water? I've seen some people use bottle water for their dog instead of tap water.
I have a private well, so I use my tap water. NO chemicals are in my water, it does have a high mineral content though.
I think the op meant "purified"
Bottled water is a waste of money and plastic, and reverse osmosis(sometimes referred to as spring water I believe) removes too many good minerals and can be damaging to your health.

We have well water, and a reverse osmosis for our cooking/drinking. I just give the dogs well water, it is pretty good quality. Our water softener was out for about a month and I really couldn't tell much difference other than the dishwasher left the silverwear a bit spotty.
When I moved from the east coast to the west coast I had to switch from tab water to spring water for my dogs. They were getting loose bowels! It worked!
Got one. Yes, it's the only one that's lasted a year. Truly amazed me since it was the one on sale too! (But given it's been a year I figure it's headed toward its demise any day now. lol)
We have well water, which we drink from the tap and fill the cat/dog bowls with. The only time I get bottled water is when we go to an event and I don't want to fill the 5gal water jug to bring because it's so big/heavy. I should probably get a smaller portable water jug.
We had to hunt for the last one! I was worried they had stopped making that model. We tossed the last one because the button were sticking, not because our lovely water killed it.
My Mr coffee had the button stick too. It was always clean because it had only pure water going into it.
For the cost they work fine, I can't see spending big bucks on a bunn.
I like a coffee maker that I can see into the resevoir, make sure it isn't gunked up.
oh Jane...I miss the water in MI! Filtered through sand..out here it goes through rock and picks up all sorts of hard minerals, not to mention the sulfur.
I want the best for my dogs, so they get to drink PURE rain water, distilled from the great Pacific Ocean and Eons Old Arctic Ice melt, filtered through all-natural biologically active clay particles deposited during the last Ice Age, and treated with 100% natural UV radiation. This water is completely in tune with Mother Earth, and contains a high percentage of natural minerals, so important in our modern de-natured diet. The dogs LOVE it! See for yourself:
LOL That is too funny. My dogs drink tap water here along with everyone else. Having to study the effects of BPA in plastic was enough to make me stop buying bottles of water and using a in home water cooler.
I use tap water but I use one of those 3-stage faucet filters for my pets' water. I only use bottled water when I'm going on vacation to somewhere that might have well water.
oh how i miss Colorado water.... no joke either. the water out here is just gross!
