WTF is wrong with one of these?
I posted that 3 or 4 days ago...you've been fishing around on Amazon in the meantime, instead of going out and buying 3 or 4?

I'd prefer to drink bottled water over tap water, but now I'm coming around to your way of thinking.
Trad would rather die a thirsty richer than stoop down to a poors level and drink tap water
It's bottled/filtered, from the "industrial sized" filtration systems at the grocery store or at Walmart. Basically the same systems that fill the little 16 oz bottles.
'Course, you can fill them up with your garden hose, too. But it's $0.25/gallon here at Sprouts grocery, and $0.35/gallon at the local WalMart for the 'professionally filtered' stuff.
It's the only water I'll use for morning coffee.
Just checked with Walmart and they're out of those jugs and a new shipment isn't expected until September 12.
I'm sure he's on top of how he's going to keep all of the blue hairs hydrated at Del Boca Vista Phase III. You know, being he's such a brilliant manager.
I do this for my cabin, but you're looking for the wrong size jugs (no pun intended). The cabin is spring water, lots of nitrates in it. Tried a couple filters, but my best friend (who works for a city water works up north) tested it and advised still not drinking it.
So, I keep 6 one gallon jugs there, fill them here in CR, haul them back and forth.
I would like to believe your average Floridian would keep some empty gallon jugs around for just such an emergency, Trad
What about your beer stock? You have a keg system if I remember correctly, is it adequately stocked?
We have one case of water, but wanted to pick up a few more.
Obviously, everyone else is doing the same thing.
I still don't get why you need water. It's a hurricane right? Just head outside and stick your tongue out.
It's after the storm when you need water. If the local water plant takes damage (or simply doesn't have power), you won't have any tap water. That'll suck fast in Florida this time of year.
The wife (no pics) bought several big bottles of red wine. Doesn't have to be cold.
We have about 1 and 1/2 right now. Will pick up another two cartons later this week.
....they use ~3 gallons to outlet every 1 gallon of filtered water.
Filter sets cost ~$40 and need replacement 2x a year. So, on top of tripling my water use for stuff from the kitchen sink (much of which is not used for drinking, but rinsing/cleaning), it's $80 in filters to change annually.
I suppose I could line a separate tap off for the filtered water....
But I think the cost for that water would be about the same (or more) as refilling 5 gallon jugs at $1.25 each from Sprouts grocery stores. I don't think I go thru enough in a year to make the hassle and cost worth it. I'll have to track how many 5 gallon jugs I refill over a year. I think it's ~10-12. I don't mind having the 5 gallon jug stand in the corner to fill the coffeemaker in the AM....
Worth looking into, though, as a kitchen remodel is 'on the radar', and I can upgrade the sink with an extra tap hole for a filtered tap, if it makes sense.

Amazon (AMZN) may be in hot water with consumers over the price of water.
Some are reporting sharply higher prices for bottled water on Amazon as Hurricane Irma approaches Florida. Customers there were reporting packages of Nestle water selling for $25 on Amazon, yet prices for those in the Northeast showed a 24-case pack of Nestle water selling for $18.50. Amazon didn't immediately return a request for comment.
