Eau! What a great water!

Advantages: Thirst-quenching, natural taste
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

.... Back in 1789, it was discovered that the water had certain health benefits when a visiting Marquis found that drinking the water cured his kidney stones! The water is fed by mountain snow and percolates through the ground for 15 years before it emerges from an underground spring. Today, Evian is an internationally renowned spa town, where people still flock to taste the famous Evian mineral water. The factory which produces Evian churns out an incredible 1.5 billion litres of water a year, and ships it to 150 countries worldwide. Since 1991, the Evian brand has been owned by the Danone group, one of the largest companies in France. WATER, WATER...WATER EVERYWHERE! Drinking water is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. It is recommended that we drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and more in warmer weather to avoid...

Review of Evian Mineral Water

Buying mineral water is a mug's game!

Advantages: Affordable, delicious drinking water with no hardness
Disadvantages: cartridges can be a little expensive

.... Costs: My Brita came from Argos and set me back a meagre 17.99 including one filter cartridge. I can't see how it could possibly break or die (unless I do something REALLY stupid with it) so I imagine that I can expect many years of service from that initial investment. Argos are currently selling replacement cartridges for my model for 19.99 per pack of six, meaning that Brita filtered water costs just under four pence per litre under normal usage. Environment: I like to do my bit to reduce climate change; I wouldn't refer to myself as an eco-warrior, but I do believe that we should all do whatever we can to give mother nature a helping hand. The Brita filter turns ordinary tap water into a much purer, more pleasant beverage, thus reducing the quantities of mineral and spring water needed by those of us in hard water areas. This...

Review of Brita Fjord Water Filter

Bedazzled by water.

Advantages: Fresh, pure and a three-dimensional taste.
Disadvantages: Nothing wrong with tap water and it's free, as the saying goes...

...its journey through the ancient limestones of the Peak District, gathering all the minerals along the way and emerges at a warm temperature of 27.5 degrees centigrade regardless of the weather. Buxton water is known to be one of the purest in the UK. The taste? *********** How can you describe the taste of water? I certainly can't - pretty stupid thing to do to make a suggestion of it then...huh! Anyway, with what I find with the water, the taste is significantly different from tap water, well, at the least the tap water than comes from out of my kitchen. Coincidently, it does seem to have a purer taste - a soothing, fresh feel. Personally I always felt that our tap water tastes a little bit on the chalky side, but I think that's just a matter of the regional 'hard' / 'soft' water thing. So why Buxton and not any other brand...

Review of Buxton Natural Mineral Water

Evian bottled water

Advantages: Easy to carry around to beat thirst
Disadvantages: The price and the effect of the plastic to environment

...I remembered whilst sitting on the chair in front of the computer that I need to drink. Well, I was at work. I looked inside my bag and found a bottle of evian 0,33l that means that it was 33cl. As I reached the bottled water, how I could appreciate the minute little bottle. The packaging was not your typical bottle. I will further detail it to you later on. Thus this review came into conception. When I was growing up, I still remember having the ordinary tap water. There was a well at the back of our yard then so the young men usually fetch water there. It was fresh and it was wonderful thirst quencher. When I went to the city I found out that the water system is not trustworthy thus I was encouraged to drink mineral or bottled water. My bother almost died of dehydration due to ameobiasis. Ameoba is a microorganism found in dirty...

Review of Evian Mineral Water

Evian bottled water

Advantages: Choice of sizes, availability
Disadvantages: More expensive than some other brands

...We have so many people telling us nowadays we need to drink more water to maintain a healthy body. If you don't like the taste of tap water, what better to try than the market leader in mineral waters? Evian claims to be a natural mineral water on the bottles, but what mineral water isn't 'natural'?. The taste is definitely better than tap water, especially if you live in a hard water like me and don't use a water filter. You can buy Evian anywhere, supermarkets, petrol stations, and you even get a choice of sizes as part of the Boots MealDeal promotion. It's probably the best known brand of bottled water. The one I prefer is the 750ml size which has a funny hourglass shape, presumably so it's easier to hold, because this is the sports size. You can either flip the cap open easily, again an added advantage if you...

Review of Evian Mineral Water

Keeping Wife and baby healthy with water.

Advantages: pure, safe and good for you
Disadvantages: Price

...While we take tap water for granted for our daily needs, it is only when something changes that we realise there are more options to simply turning and filling to get our daily need of fluids. Im talking bottled water here. Once thought of as a gimmick for the rich, it is more and more common in our fridges today. Why? Well, our house is one that lives in a particularly hard water area. The quality of Water in our area is therefore pretty safe but full of dissolved lime and other minerals. While some of these are good for you, you only need to look at our kettle to see what it is putting in your insides. Thick scaly limescale! It was at the bottom of our possible cause list when my wife started suffering terribly with her stomach not long after she made the permanent move to Essex to be with me. Some nights she would be...

Review of Evian Mineral Water

water water everywhere, but no-ones drinking any!!

Advantages: clear skin, refreshing, cellulite gone etc etc etc
Disadvantages: bland

...sparkling water as well from Evian but mine was just the still mineral water. Now I can't drink water unless its really ice cold so I had to wait a good while until all the bottles chilled. I also had brought a smaller 50cl bottle to take to work and to have out and about. I do not really think there is too much that can be said for describing water other than it's really refreshing when chilled and does quench my thirst, especially in the summer. I've been sticking to drinking Evian every day and making sure I try to get as close to the RDA as possible. I have definitely started to notice the effects (this has been about three months now). My skin seems to be a lot clearer as I usually have a massive outbreak once a month but I haven't had a spot for ages! I really do feel more 'with it' as in refreshed and as though I have a bit more...

Review of Evian Mineral Water

Water is as Water Does

Advantages: refreshing
Disadvantages: expensive for water

...Buxton Mineral Water..... I try to drink a few glassess of water each day and if I am out and about I would rather buy a cheap bottle of water rather than a pricey bottle of fizzy pop. This Buxton Mineral Water was around the same price as all the other bottles of water and cost 55 pence. This is a fair price for a bottle of water and cheaper than most fizzy pop bottles. The water itself is clear and fresh. It is of course best drank when very chilled and not so nice if you drink it warm! Yuck! The bottle has changed shap recently making it easier to hold and even better for re-use of the bottle itself. As water goes this tastes just like it should pure and refreshing. i would not say I prefer this one to others but then again I would not say I prefer others to this. Water is a better option than fizzy pop and this water...

Review of Buxton Natural Mineral Water

water water everywhere and none for my dog to drink

Advantages: good in times of water shortage or out on a hot day
Disadvantages: tastes like tap water

...Highland Spring - that was all they had - for 89p for 1.5litre. The first thing I was surprised to notice was that it had a sell by date on it. This is Jan. 2010. I thought I might as well taste it to see if I could tell any difference. We have very hard water here and it is drinkable and never had a problem with it. On tasting I thought that it did not taste any different from our tap water. The day after the water was on again and back to normal I thought that I woiuld have a glass of both tap and bottle water to see if I still felt the same about it. Definately no difference at all. My dog? Oddly he went to the tap water but perhaps that was just because it was to his front right and he is right "handed". I dont know. Highland Spring is naturally filtered through land certified as organic by the soil association...

Review of Highland Spring Still Natural Mineral Water

Is it only water...?

Advantages: Refreshing!
Disadvantages: Can taste a bit mouldy-ish!

...Well... you're probably thinking how boring writing a review about water is, but I haven't got many other products to write about. Also, I haven't written a review for a while, so this was the first thing that came into my head. We all know that no-one can survive long without water and you should be drinking plenty of it eat day. Fact: we can live without food much longer than we can live without water. It's part of our every day life, and we can take it for granted. Some countries don't have much of this and can you imagine what it is like living in a hot country without anything to drink? Anyway onto the product... Buxton is a still, natural, mineral water and is bottled at souce, which is the St. Ann's Spring. It tastes fresh and crisp, which is good. Obviously water doesn't taste or smell much, but it does make your mouth lovely...
