Q: if tap water is questionable do chinese use water filters or bottled water for drinking?

this is to those who actually live or have lived in china I don't care if a question was posted before similar to my question 10 times before And please answer the question only can u do that? OK I understand straight tap water in china is questionable to drink from the tap But are there installed filters to filter out the contaminates or bottled water is a better choice for drinking? Please stick to the question only!

Most people just boil the water though a lot install filter systems under the sink. Coffee shops in particular have filters installed. 

 

There you go....

By Chinese standards they do think I am "crazy", but since my stomach is a bit "delicate",  I do go thru a process for cooking and drinking water that satisfies me.

I have a water filter SBS-UF-B1 filtering the water used for cooking and drinking purposes.  Once thru that filter, I boil the water and allow it to cool down.  Then it goes thru a stone filter, and stored until used.

I did one further step.  I took a sample of the end result, and brought it with me on a trip to USA, and gave it to a friend of mine who works at a Lab in Chicago.  He analyzed the water for me, and results were free of germs and chemicals, or 99.8 % pure.

 

But my better half family just boil the water and drink it afterwards.

Good, maybe you can answer a question I have often wondered about, but just never crossed my mind the same time I was using the internet. Anyway, here goes...

Q:  How long can you safely store bottled water?  I typically keep an extra bottle (5L) or two on hand in case I miss my delivery for one reason or another.  I typically cycle them through, but what is the guidelines for just letting one sit there?  It's sealed and not in direct sunlight or anything.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
