Bottled Water Warning

[Arachnophobphile]

Only sharing this if there is anyone like me that only uses bottled water for their tarantulas.

Over 150,000 Bottles of Water Recalled Due to Bacterial Contamination

The FDA recently recalled bottles of water due to contamination with coliforms. Here's what that means, which states were impacted, and what to do if you have some of the contaminated bottled water at home.

I worry about stuff like this happening so I only give mine Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. It's cost effective and safe

I've used tap water ever since I started. 0 issues.

Is tap water free of a lot of the additives in Canada that they use in the U.S.?

Literally every water source is different. Every spring, well, filtration, desalination, purifying, pumping etc facilities are different despite some places having similar standards. Tap water as a general term isn't really that relevant in terms of global quality control and same standards. Even town to town.

At minimum I like to put in the sun for a couple days for chlorine and Brita for land animals water dishes. Or buy distilled water.

Hmmm maybe I'll just start doing that instead of buying bottled water every now and then.

One thing in the U S. is that all water provided publicly and city water to homes is treated with Fluoride. There's other additives but that's as far as I know of

Not even over there n still looking into a tap filter, I have always used bottled water for my t's thinking it was safe but glad I now know it isnt always. Thank you for sharing.
