For my purposes, getting a gallon or two and then using it for several
days is preferable. I need only go to the tap infrequently then. . . And I don't
drink it; I use it for morning Tea of Power (English Breakfast, brewed 10
minutes. . . )(Well, Alban, why not go to the tap every day? Because I
make my tea after opening up shop, and leaving it is not an option.)
I do so hate a strong weird color to my tea, and having all that iron in
it does strange things to the taste.

It's never bothered my intestinal system, but it can affect taste.
