Sorry. I misread what you said. I read it as using bottled water from a hotel, not filling bottles. That said, letting the water run until it gets cold as others have suggested could go a long way towards removing any metallic taste.
Regarding all your other points, I appreciate the time you took and the thought you put into them, but the bottom line is that I don't like the taste of most tap waters and the tap water from many places I visit on a regular basis makes my stomach very unhappy. On top of all that, I don't like to drink water from plastic bottles that have sat on loading docks and in trucks in extreme heat and I don't like using disposable plastic items at all. I just thought (for maybe the three minutes it took me to compose my post) that those tablets people use for camping might be a solution. Apparently, they are not. On to the next silly question...
Color me confused
If you don’t like tap water…except for the water at home…and you don’t like bottled water, what do you drink?
