Hi guys since i been back iv e been drinking the water straight out the tap the last 3 days since i got back after i saw an article in the paper that the tap water in adeje is now drinkable ,so far all good no stomach problems though i guess my system used to tap water in south africa , so for anybody else out there its safe to drink what do you guys think

I have been drinking the tap water here for several years now. I used to live in a 'hard' water area in England and this stuff tastes exactly the same. I too read the article about Adeje water. how great it was and that they are now desalinating water and suppling parts of Arona.
However, I am currently moving into an apartment in the old town of Los Cristianos and the water is FOUL. Totally undrinkable. I suspect that the apartment is fed by the desalinated pipe referred to in the article. The only time I have come across desalinated water before was in Ibiza in the 1980's and that too was undrinkable. Despite it's name, desalinated water is SALTY.
Beginning to think that they are just selling me sea water with the fish filtered out.

On most apartment complexes the water is stored in a tank. So its not always straight from the mains. I wouldn't drink it. Who knows whats in it. We use a filter jug from the UK and just bring the filters out. They last for about a month before we replace them. Or bottled water for drinking.

we have a machine on our complex, water is 10c a litre and is great, I have used the tap water for cooking veg and had no problems but not sure I would drink it straight from the tap although I know people who do
