Thank you for your advice and help, I will continue to use bottled water, I know my tap water is drinkable and I have a filter but I think just using bottled water I won't have to worry about what chemicals Ect
Thank you

I had a similar experience in Mexico with "bottled" water. We were staying in a hotel that had water coolers and we were assured that the water was purified. I got horribly sick and blamed it on the food until a maintenance worker admitted that they fill the bottles from the tap. Never again

everything I have read shows tap and bottle water not much different. most bottled water comes from the tap anyway.
we give all our pets tap, fish, birds, gliders, dogs and cats. I have seen nothing in our city that suggest tap is bad.

funny story. a coworker was living in mexico, he always drank bottled water. Even at his girlfriends house he made sure to use their large bottled water dispenser. He was clearly instructed drinking tap in mexico would send him to the bathroom or worse.
after 4 months in mexico, one day he walked into the back yard of his girlfriends house, were he spent most of his off time, and found her dad filling the 5 gallon "bottled water" jug, with the garden hose. even thought he had not gotten sick, he started to bring his own bottled water to the house.

Some areas have tap water that is perfectly safe, for humans and pets. But then again, better safe than sorry, so I think bottled water would be a wise choice. The filtration process is strictly regulated. Also, the breeder I got my second glider from insisted that I not use tap water.

I would never offer my animals tap water, and I don't drink it myself either. I know too many people who have gotten sick from tap water all over the country, and these guys are very small so even an "acceptable" amount of something bad for humans would hurt the poor glider. So I give my boy bottled water, and I think any brand would be fine.

Pretty much just offer tap to all my pets, except for when I lived in A.J. AZ, the water was awful, so we all had bottled (any brand).
