how can one lose,
when the entire might of one's government is actively training a blind eye to, if not encouraging, the practice?

hassle magdala ng lalagyan ng tubig.. buti sa office wala naman pila sa water dispenser..
Nakaka-aliw water dispenser sa office.. pinalitan nila, di na hahawakan or madidikit lalagyan.. Ilalapag mo lang then tatapakan.. Yung hot and cold, sensor para makapili ka..

We used to have a water dispenser in the house. But we found out that you can't completely clean the path of the water. The pipes/tunes are sealed, inaccessible, and cannot be disassembled. So it developed a weird taste and smell. Parang lumot. I noticed the same thing with every other dispenser in other houses and offices. So I stopped getting water from any dispenser.

Stainless Steel water bottles, on the other hand, are completely cleanable because each part is accessible. If any part retains an objectionable taste, a good washing with dishwashing liquid will do. And if that isn't enough, Polident cleaning tablets help. Of course, some tastes and smells cannot be completely removed. But that takes at least a couple of years. The coffee stains of my daughter's 3 year old HydroFlask are just now starting to get darker. That's unlike our old Colemans which would start retaining tastes and colors in less than a year.

The lumot taste is in the water bottle itself. This is the problem with water bottles stored under the sun, they grow algae. Since we have our own water purifier, what I do is shake the bottle with a little water to clean out the algae. Kahit galing pa sa water purifying station yan na may reverse osmosis, if you keep them outside, magkakalumot yan, visible or not.

All brands have to be cleaned. I have colemans from 6 years back, hyrdoflask, Kleen and a Takeya. All four developed smell and taste after sometime. Need talaga linisan specially the thread part and/or the nozzle/silicone tip/straw. Yung yung nagkakakulay itim.

Overrated hydroflask imho (gifts lang yan at yung kleen sa akin, Coleman and Takeya ang inili ko). Tagal na ng coleman pero no fanfare. Mas matibay naman di hamak coleman. Kahit Takeya ang tibay din. HD talaga. The video below proves it.

The trick here is ... when refilling water ... only refill up to 2/3 or 1/2 so it's lighter ...

but the jugs come in full five gallons!
i can't just throw 2 gallons away, just to make it lighter...

Buy ka na Doc, IIRC, I bought mine at least 5 years ago na, a Fujidenzo brand for 9k, so I have been free of heavy lifting for 150/month na. And it gets cheaper the longer it lasts.
