There is a Czech company Filtermac (“Lokni”) that doesn’t even offer tap water, only filtered (so you don’t get a comparison to the already safe tap?) Your options are:
Install app, verify phone number, get
free 0.5 liters (2 glasses) per day at select stations (train stations, plus unis if you are a student)
access to subscriptions, the “unlimited” (still limited) tier is $8/mo I think
Pay with credit card, about half of what bottled water costs
The startup says it’s very successful. WTF? Tap water is already safe in my country so you can just pay $0.50 to access toilets (or jump the gate), many railway stations also have free taps.
Also, you need to keep the phone in a receptacle while the changing QR code on screen is being scanned during the bottle fillling (bring your own bottle or get a glass one shipped with a year of Premium). Tablets and laptops with Android emulators don’t fit. You only need internet to sign up but the giant thing with an ad screen does not provide Wi-Fi.

I now realize what you mean, but I just woke up and for a good 3 seconds or so imagined you slurping toilet water.
Where is /c/frugaljerk when you need it?
Yeah look i wouldn’t sign up for this on principle because subscriptions are shit, but I do enjoy poncy overpriced water.
I don’t drink booze, smoke, or do drugs. I have a very restrictive diet and can’t even have a slice of cake once in a while.
You’ll have to pry my lightly sparkling imported Italian mineral water from my cold dead hands.
StPellegrino is so good, only La Salvetat beats it (and perrier but only in those 33cl glass bottles, I don’t know why).
What’s your favourite?
Yeah S.Pellegrino in those sleek cans.
I expect nothing less from the country with contactless payments for using the bathroom
The? There are dozens of us!
Still, it’s probably the most widespread here because Czechs are crazy cheap.
