does that mean you drain the entire heating system if you're doing anything witha radiator?
i have no idea where mine comes from
Do you fill straight up or let it run for a while? I ALWAYS run the tap for a few seconds. Don't know why just always have.
But I have the best water in the world (I think the water in Scotland tastes a million times nicer than enywhere else) as it goes through my fridge and comes out ice cold.
And technically you'd be right.
You really shouldn't drink from the bathroom taps. Same as you shouldn't let water from the bathroom touch contact lenses because you can get potentially blinding eye infections from water borne amoebae. The same amoebae can cause granulomatous amoebic encephalitis although this is rare.
my nan however only lives a few miles away and the water that comes from her tap is gorgeous!
I prefer the taste of hardwater.
I know, my area is more electrics. Far far more fun.
Ninja, I always let the tap run for a bit too...
what kinda pipes you got over there?
At home I think all the water in the house is supplied from the same place, it's a fairly new house. Here I tend to boil water before I drink it anyway.
(did you watch that programme a couple of years ago about the contact lens thing? Truth be told that's what puts me off wearing them!)
Obviosly not copper ones!
so ...he has iron water pipes in his house! :eek:
i always let the water run for a bit, its colder!
We have mains from all taps. We're modern. The bathroom and the kitchen are next to each other in our house, but kitchen water always tastes nicer. Bathroom water tastes worse, and isn't as good for you unless you've got ultra-modern pipework.
