Shoot - I carry water around in it all the time (usually a couple of
gallons)  Very handy when you need a quick drink or got your hands dirty
while shopping  :-)

I only put purified water in it (our water here is VERY hard and highly
chlorinated), and the way I look at it,  it is essentially no different than
the 5 gallon jug of the same purified water that I keep in  my kitchen for
drinking and cooking.  (Both the kitchen container and the Westy's get
flushed out with baking soda and water at least once a month and bleached a
couple of times a year.)

However, I am still leary of drinking the water directly from the tank
because I don't trust that it doesn't have some debilitating bacteria
growing in the system. I just use the water just for coffee and for the
dishes.
