I think that this is a controversial subject. Bottled water companies that claim to sell purified water or spring water are often just using the municipal water supply to fill up their bottles to sell. If you check the labels of most bottled water you will see that practically all brands contain fluoride. Fluoride is not naturally occurring in water, nor does it in the body. This is a subject of great debate and will not get into it here. I personally favor purity without municipal (or national) influence without a way to opt out.

Here are a couple of companies that deliver:

Regular filtration system:

The only way to remove fluoride and/or other impurities from water is a more expensive REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTRATION, usually for institutional use, but available for domestic use. Here are a few I've found in Buenos Aires:

Water delivery by ways of Lorry ? I thought the method of receiving potable water delivered by Lorry is only seen in under-developed nations..Never expected to read that people still procuring water by those means in Argentina.!

It's not a given.

Quite apart from my opinion that Argentina, as a whole country (and not small parts of CapFed as well) is not exactly "developed", I used to get water delivered in the States by reputable companies that sold pure(r) water in bottles with a stand for dispensing water. Delivery of water via truck is fairly commonplace in my experience...

really recommend PSA filters or other filter, much better for the environment, much MUCH cheaper, and you can even get filters for your shower.

We get our water from Ivess. Seems decent to me, and tastes purer than a lot of the supermarket bottled water I've tried.
I think this is their website: http://www.eljumillano.com/
They deliver soda water and those flavored fruit juice as well.

A picture of the label because I'm too lazy to type it out.

You might want to strongly consider renting a dispenser with a replaceable charcoal filter. The difference in environmental impact / carbon footprint is astounding and it roughly 50% the cost (and much less hassle) than getting bottled water delivered.

First of all you're wrong about fluoride not being naturally present in water. In many places it is, but not in Buenos Aires. Water here is artificially fluorinated to the standard set by the government however this does not affect the taste nor safety of tap water. The off taste of water here is normally from the chlorine treatment which can be removed by charcoal filtering.

It states on PSA's website that their filters remove chloride from the water. Has anyone used Vitalwater? Any difference between them and PSA?
