Water in Poland is an aphrodisiac.

In fact look up some tests of bottled water...lots of brands just fill from the same water system the public uses. It is not some miraculous healing water touched by god or something.

Bingo. Out of 200 something brands of bottled water being sold as mineral water on polish market only a dozen actually could be called that name. The rest, as you mentioned, fill from the same water system the public uses. It leads to a situation where very often people buy bottled water that is of lower quality than their tap water.

Ive drunk 1000's of litres of the stuff, no problems so far. i think its the food establishments serving luke warm meals you need to worry about. When did you ever see the lady behind the tesco's hot counter probe food?

well for me its not a question of bacteria in the water as the chemical process kills the bacteria its more of a question of chemicals dumped into the river by businesses upstream which are not taken out of the water and if you are eating at tesco what would you expect?

I didnt say I eat at Tesco's, i made an example of food and hygiene levels in Poland. Ive never seen any temeprature checks of any kind in any establishment in Poland.

Many have gastric flu here. Many attribute that to drinking tap water. Filtering is a good idea.

My spring water is known to produce constant multiple orgasms in both sexes. It's so healthy, the former owner of this property is currently 92 years old and already went through 2 husbands. No chlorine, no bacteria, all natural. :)
