I was trained to open the refrigerator door, get what you want, and CLOSE THE DOOR! So despite the fact that our fridge has a filtered cold water spout, I rarely use it. I'd have to hold the door open all the while, waiting for my glass to fill up.
We also have a Brita filtered pitcher, that sits in the door shelf, of the fridge. It gets used more during the summer months, it is currently sitting on a shelf in the closet.
For years we used a WaterPik faucet filter. When the knob snapped off, I wrote to the company, and asked for a replacement knob; it would be easy to swap out. They sent me a whole new package instead. Great customer service!
I drink my coffee and iced tea made with water straight from the faucet, no filtering.
I also have faith in the Government monitoring our water supply. I have even more faith in my body's ability to filter out the bad stuff, and that which it can't, my body's immune system being able to deal with incorrigibles.
They say, when you go to Mexico, don't drink the water. Yet, Mexicans do, and they don't experience Montezuma's revenge. I read a couple of Cody Lundin's books. He's the barefoot guy in the TV series "Dual Survival". He collects rain water off of his grass thatched roof. Once a bird fell into and drowned in his water drum. He didn't remove the bird, and continued to drink the water. He figured it would help his immune system to condition itself to a variety of bacteria.
