Here in the UK we are told our tap water is fine to drink.

however, quite a few years ago I started to see this black staining and sludge coming from my taps. In particular the inside of the toilet cistern there was black sludge growing up the sides of the Cistern.

So I have not drunk any tap water for at least 5 years.

I installed a water filter that has four ceramic water filter candles.

The water now tastes great again. No sludge either.

considering that Thames water has ripped people off, dumped tons of pollutents and sewage into our rivers yet still pay their executives millions in bonuses.

All water companies need to be owned by the people, not some for profit wankers

I wont drink that shit anymore

I wont buy that shit in bottles either, have you bothered to read the label on bottled water.
