Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with using water if/when I want to. Maybe it's just that old habits die hard, but I also don't like seeing perfectly good water being washed out to sea while so many are complaining about not having any.

As for cost, the price will go up with demand, this stuff is cleaner than bottled mineral water (which I tested @ 20 ppm contamination v's rainwater @ 6 ppm)
