Buenos aires drinking water

[Bajo_cero2]

Can you recommend the studio you go to?

Are the bikram yoga classes crowded?

I remember how terrible they were packed way to tight back home.

There is only one. It is on Las Heras and Salguero, just in front of Parque Las Heras.

tap water is fine, no different than many major cities

I agree 100%.

And if you (all who complain always) could read some Spanish, you could take a look to Aysa's homepage, and you'll realize that they don't use chlorine so often, not even weekly, only when some conditions require it.
But of course, once again, it seems that most people coming here only want to live in their own countries, and they are here only to be sure that any other place in the world is wrong.

That's exactly what "most people" want. You nailed it! We were having a fine conversation without your arrogance.

Sinagua: if you think I'm not adding, it's your view, ok. But I'm telling just the truth and if you can't even see the truth, you are in trouble, and you will be in trouble in the future. Open your eyes and be honest.

Given the plethora of bottled water delivery services here, I don't think it's just the people "wanting to live in their own countries" who prefer not to drink the tap water.

The water quality in BA was horrible. Maybe it differs from neighborhood to neighborhood how bad it is but in Recoleta we could smell the chlorine (or whatever they used in the water). It was horrible.

We always used the company Nestle to deliver water. They would deliver those water holders that you put the big 5 Gallon jugs on but it was great and you could use it for cold or hot water.

I can't remember exactly how much I paid but I think it was like 300 pesos per month. We got 4 jugs per week and if we needed more we just needed to call and ask.

I used it for years and it was great. Of course now it's probably more expensive but it beat buying bottles in the store.

I'm guessing that water filters and water bottles are sold all over BA for a reason and that reason can't be just because expats want to replicate home. Expats do not maintain that market.

Cheers.

Yes they do.
The only people you see on the streets carrying a bottle of water are foreigners.
We don't feel so thirsty!

While the people carrying water on the street may be foreigners, the people buying bottled water in the supermarkets are not. There are aisles of bottled water in every supermarket, kisoko and gas station. Any assertion that it's just foreigners buying water is flat out wrong.

Personally, I try not to buy bottled still water because of the environmental impact it has. I find that letting water from the tap sit in the refrigerator for a few days helps dilute any chemical taste.

The only place I drink tap water is in my own home.... any time I'm at an Argentine's house and try to drink out of the tap they react as if I'm about to drink poison. I can't think of any Argentine I know who doesn't have a filter/bottles of water/etc at all times...

You're right. Argentines carry bottles of Coke.
