Being the type of person who is constantly drinking water my poor taste buds do not like the Kingsville water.
As an avid water drinker, I feel like you definitely get a feel of all the different types of water, and you know how they all taste. You can taste the plastic in some water bottles, or maybe even the box from Boxed water is better (it’s not!). Let’s not even talk about how Ozarka and Voss water taste like tap water. But of course, some might say “All water tastes the same”, but we know that is not the case.
Personally, my favorite water brand is Klarbrunn, although it is very hard to find since they do not sell it at H-E-B or Walmart, and not even at Target.
But being the type of person who drinks so much water it just makes sense to buy a water filter, instead of buying case after case of water. Last week I bought a Brita water filter pitcher. I did as the instructions said and let the water run through the filter a few times. Then poured the water into my Hydro Flask water bottle. I was utterly shocked that it tasted like salt!
I tried the same Brita in Corpus Christi the water was not salty. Why is the Kingsville water inordinately salty?
According to the Director of Public Works William Donnell, explains that they add ammonia with chlorine to the water to clean and make it safe to be consumed. Donnell explains that Kingsville receives 90% of their water from local water wells. He explains that the reason behind this salty taste could possibly be from the natural surface water.
Although this water is safe to consume due to water reports, it just doesn’t taste good. In the meantime, I will be getting a filter for my faucet too, so it will be double filtered maybe this will filter out the surface water taste.
