    Trust me you don't want to drink out of my pipes. I don't want a calcium rust drink with some water in it.

    Three possibliities that I can think of:

    1. It's just your imagination.
    2. Your kitchen tap has an inline filter. The bathroom doesn't.
    3. The water softener (if you have one) may not service the cold line in the kitchen.*

    *This is a fairly common way of connecting for those people who don't like the taste of soft water.

    teh water tastes pretty bad round here cos it's Lincoln and there's lots of fields and stuff, pesticides and whatnot give the water an unpleasant taste, it's also very cloudy – but I still drink it

    we've got a filter in teh fridge too - ftw

    Because your bathroom water probably comes from a tank in the attic,which probably has dead rodents in it

    All spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in my post's are intentional.

    The bathroom sink isnt used as much so the water in the pipes after the shutoff dries out and leaves crap behind...so tat water will have that taste in it


    Tap water tastes disgusting, the only water i'll drink is bottled

    What he said.

    I use one of these:



    Costs $3 to refill when it's empty, lasts about 2 weeks.

    @ Nikkid , yum bottled tap water . How do we know anyway where they get it from ? Must admit it does taste better , and you being a Canadian must of wondered why does the water taste different from province to province .

    I moved to Alberta from BC at a young age and we could n't drink the stuff .
