Transparent jar full of water, sitting on sun for days maybe weeks. Perfect petri dish!

Wow, lots of anti-water people coming out in the comments. Bizarre.

Our family goes through a 5 gallon jug in less than a week. I have a few jugs, which I'll refill a few times, and then the local grocery store or Walmart has a thing where you can drop off old jugs to replace with new ones, sterilized and pre-filled with fresh water. (Clearly this is a thing many other people are doing since the infrastructure exists, even though it's never advertised and I never see other people doing it.)

There is literally no health risk involved here. Yes, I go to refill or replace jugs every two weeks or so. Not a big deal. Easier than buying soda or smaller bottles of water, IMO.

Edit: We used to use Britas but that was honestly more hassle than just dealing with the jugs.

Is you tap water not drinkable?

If it's sitting in the sun it best environment for algae. Other organisms have much harder time there.
