Question from anneh
We are on a well and due to its low ph we have to add a conditoner to it (calcium). I thought to be safe I better buy bottled water and have been purchasing bottled water that comes in blue plastic 3Gallon jugs. Now I see the #7 on the jugs and research tells me its not a good thing. I found what looks like a good option by Santevia, you put your water through their filter system but their plastic jug is #5 which is supposedly safe. Any idea which way to go? Thanks anneh

If these are your two choices, I would go with the bottle labeled #5, as that is low-toxicity polypropylene. #7 is polycarbonate, which contains BPA unless labeled “BPA-free.”
