Reply To: Bottled Water

[Ryann Kipping]

Hi, Diane, good question here. I do recommend drinking filtered water during pre/pregnancy. I’m unsure about the quality of well water…I know you can use EWG tap water database and type in your zip code to find out what’s in your water, but again, I don’t think this would apply to well water. The issue with bottled water is the plastic exposure. I think the best option here would be for you to filter your well water, although really great (reverse osmosis) filters are expensive like the Berkey (https://www.berkeyfilters.com/).
