Though the rat and bedbug infested holes I stayed at in my NYC yeshiva days may have tainted my tastebuds during that time-period.

Times have a' changed, mon frere:

Meh.

They've been saying forever that NYC water is the tastiest, healthiest, safest, bla bla bla..
I never bought any of the above, and I still don't (especially the taste).

Can't say I have ever seen a (reputable) study that concluded that...

And the AWWA has been around for like 120 years or something like that and have been doing this for awhile, all independently AFAIK.

What dorm was it, and how do you know it was the rats and not something/someone else?
Or are you calling the ganovim rats

Dan · « **Reply #32 on:** October 21, 2012, 02:00:49 AM »

Because there was a hole in the wall with rats in it and my wallet

ULY circa 2003-they put us up in the Hadar Hatorah dorm.

You control the fizz level and it's a lot cheaper and more convenient.

can you really make it as fizzy as beer mayim?
That stuff is awesome especially the glass bottles

Also how many bottles do you get from one cartridge? How cheap can you get the cartridges?

Never had the glass bottles. Where can they be gotten?
Personally, out of Cornell or BM, I prefer Cornell all the way.

The cartridges are $12 with 20% off or just $10 with a $5 off $15 coupon.
You can make it too fizzy to possibly drink if that's your thing.

I'd estimate that I get at least 100 bottles of seltzer per cartridge.

Based on this I'd day i can probably make it at least as fizzy as the plastic bottles.
Assuming $12 a cartridge that means approx 12 cents per bottle, plus the cost of water which would be pretty minimal even if using bottled water. What would you say the total cost pretty bottle is?
Also how big are the bottles?

Dan · « **Reply #39 on:** October 21, 2012, 09:25:08 PM »

Bottles are 1L.
$12/100=12 cents per bottle.
