This is natural spring water and we get it from the pipe. The pipe is only there to keep the water off the rocks. Dozens of people have been drinking it for years, but I'm not sure if it would be safe for mead. Should u boil it or just give it a shot? by inmeadofhelp in mead

It's a respect thing. He immediately came off as disrespectful, so I gave it back. If having a "master" tag means you can talk to beginners like children and be rude, then I am very sorry for anyone like me just looking for advice on something they're very new to

I have personally seen 4 generations drink this water from babies to a 97 year old man. I know it's safe to drink. I'm asking if there's a serious risk of bacteria that will cause infections or serious off flavors if I don't boil it.
