Is the tap water here inside houses fit for drinking? Do we need to buy water cans?

RO is not at all good as it removes even the required minerals from the water.

There were many articles before on QL whether the BOTTLED WATERS are fit for drinking or not..All bottled waters r not safe for drinking coz of high sodium content which is harmful for human health in long run...People are installing RO (REVERSE OSMOSIS) at their home that filters TAP WATER which one can drink straight away...please go through the links below for detail.

Tap water is also as good as bottled water, as tap water Kahrmaa ensures 3 times quality check before it releases into taps, but only concern will be the amount of debris inside pipelines and the rusting inside the pipelines.

Comparing to bottled water tap water is good in quality analysis. what really make difference is cleanliness. If your storage is clean and using filter, then tap water is the better.

Not fit for drinking. Use bottled water instead.
