UCLA tap water

<p>Just making sure: is the water safe to drink? Or should I bring a water filter or something?</p>

<p>Never hurts to bring a filter</p>

<p>I drank tap water almost everyday and I’m still here…doesn’t taste too good though, unfortunately.</p>

<p>LA water doesn’t sound too good.</p>

<p>It’s disgusting, especially compared to back home, but I got used to the taste after about two weeks. I just bought one of those Brita water filter jugs online and used that most of the year.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, because LA is a 3rd world country where people die every day for lack of clean water :rolleyes:.</p>

<p>PUR water filters got me through the tough times.</p>

<p>The water is very safe. Just refrigerate the water if you don’t like the taste straight from the tap. It will taste better.</p>

<p>When I started using a brita water filter last year, I started getting green deposits after a week or two. Same happened with my suitemate’s filter. I wouldn’t trust the water…</p>

<p>^yea, that might be algae if you don’t switch out your water regularly. </p>

<p>seriously, this is the same water you shower with, brush your teeth with…</p>

<p>just get a brita filter, saves money and the environment compared to bottled water.</p>
