Water

Around here, there are a lot of additives (flouride, etc...) in the tap water, so we try to use spring water, or if I'm feeling patient enough, filtered water from the fridge. But I know a lot of you have big snakes...and a tub would take many a spring water bottle...what's everyone's take on this?

Re: Water

Any filter thing that you recommend? The stream from the fridge is about as thick as the "f" in fridge is tall. And I've seen other filters be not much better.
