is the water safe to drink

The water is as safe to drink as the water in your well. It is only a pump. It doesn't alter the water that goes into it.

Tap water is fine. You can check your areas water quality with the water company. I would avoid well water.

Allegedly it removes even flouride and supposedly even muddy toxic river water is able to be filtered and safe to drink with use of this product, however I haven't had my water tested and everyone seems to notice a difference with drinking it. That's the best I got. Good luck. (Alex Jones is a promoter of this product)

spring water. Do not use distilled water, purified or tap because they die. You can buy in any supermarket.

As far as I know it would be fine. The recommendation to not drink from any garden hose is because of the risk of bacteria growing inside the hose.

Yes, it is. It's safe to drink out of but not to store alcohol in because the lead leaches into the beverage over time.

sorry, unsure about that. I gave it to my dad as a gift. I know he carries it with him everywhere, but he's not around water (besides drinking it) for his job. from it's design when i put it together, i would guess that it's not.

I think so. I do believe that you would have to add a preservative in order to keep is safe to drink.

I would not recommend it if you plan on drinking the water. Go to this site for specific guidance. There is a distinction between therapeutic essential oils which can be ingested. I do not believe this is one of those. I only use it for aromatherapy. http://www.livestrong.com/article/89536-essential-oils-safe-ingest/

I don't see why not. The water becomes an electrolyte drink in 5 minutes and drank it the next day with the same taste. So it shouldn't be an issue

It was stated not to use this water for drinking water, but that it was ok for watering the yard and garden. We use the barrel to store emergency water to be used for bathing and other uses that don't involve drinking it. We have a separate barrel which is food grade for storing potable water, though you still have to run it through a filter before drinking.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. DO NOT USE THIS WITH WATER YOU SUSPECT TO BE CONTAMINATED BY CHEMICALS, TOXINS, OR HUMAN WASTE.Sorry to yell, but there are some wildly incorrect answers on this page: please report them as abuse for being dangerous to human life. This will absolutely not protect you from anything dissolved in the water, so don't ever use it if you know there is a factory or mines upstream. Additionally, never use ANY filter if you suspect there is human waste in your water. Source: neuroscientist and paramedic.

No, tap water is fine. Distilled takes out some chemicals. If you have very hard water, you may want to use filtered water. I use tap water.

No mention on the packaging about BPA content, but it does say it is drinking water safe. Fittings are not heavy brass, but brass-colored stamped metal.

This device will tell you how many parts-per-million of 'stuff' there is in the water, but not weather those parts are harmful or not. It is designed to be used in tap water and the lower the ppms the cleaner the water is. It cannot tell you if your water is safe to drink.

Water that is safe to drink should contain zero bacteria and metals and pesticides under the EPA maximum contaminant levels, it is less critical when showering, washing hands and clothes

No but, if the water isn't potable you should do something before you drink it. Unless the water is chlorinated it can eventually go bad. This is true for any packaged water.
