Bottled water?

[bubble&squeak4ever]

At the moment we currently have no water supply as there has been a problem with the pipes in our area It should be fixed soon but in the meantime I've had to fill the pigs water bottle up using bottled water... Will this be ok?

Many brands of bottled spring/mineral water contain high levels (in comparison to tap water) of calcium, sodium, etc, if you get the cheapest Asda or Tesco bottled water it is filtered tap water.

You might want to look at the mineral contents. Some can be quite high in sodium, and they often also contain calcium & magnesium, so probably best to get one with lower levels.

Didn't see Suzy's reply first!

Hmm.. ok thanks I shall refill their bottle with tap water as soon as we have some!

If you google you can find out which brands have lower sodium etc - look for ones suitable for making baby milk up, if you look on some of travelling with children type websites it will tell you

Asda's smartprice still water is just tap water. I'm sure that this wouls be fine.

I'm sure i saw it somewhere most brands are just tap quality water filled up in different parts of the country i.e. hard and soft waters, so i'm assuming there's piggies out there on water very similar to the water you've given them, it definitely won't hurt them for a few days

we only give bottled water and called Deeside.The only ASDA SELL it and it has lowest calcium(around 7)
