    But emotionally I couldn’t do it. Even if I used the best dishwasher known to man and rewashed everything multiple times, I just wouldn’t be able to get over that mental hurdle.

    I know, right? If nothing else it just feels wrong…

            What Im trying to get at is that its obviously not that big a hurdle, at least I dont know anyone that regularly complains about feeling nasty drinking tap water. Its just about what people are used to, not reall, about something being unclean or not.

          In some places, tap water is drinkable. For example, where I live. Sure, it doesn’t taste as good as bottled water, but it’s safe to drink.

            I was being sarcastic. Obviously people drink tap water even though it is recycled piss, so the ‘mental hurdle’ cant be that big

          To be clear personally if given the choice I’d rather the recycled piss water than tap water considering it has stricter standards.

          I was just pointing out the ick factor exists whether or not it’s logical.

          Depending on where you live tap water has the same or not noticibly lower quality of bottled water. Just for a fraction of the price.

            That was my point. The water quality isnt affected by the fact that there were tons of shit swimming in the same water a few days before.
