Is bottled natural/spring/mineral water, available off the shelf in supermarkets etc., able to be used without boiling? ie. is it bacteria-free at bottling? What about the refill stations - if you make sure you sanatise your container can you rely on that water being bacteria free also? Cheers, Michael.

i've used both (off the shelf and refill water) with no problems. as you mention, sanitize your refill container just to be on the safe side. the refill water i buy is MUCH cheaper ($0.25/gal), and comes from a reverse osmosis filtering process.

bacteria-free
Spring water is never certified to bee without micro-organisms, it's tested to be sure it's not harmfull to your healt but no more. A guy told me that he once opened a 5 gal. container and found algea under the lid.
I have not used refill water because from the last five years, I am using custom water bottles by Samantha Springs
