AN IT consultant only bathes in bottled water — and splashes out £4,300 a year on it.

John Junior, 34, reckons cutting out tap water five months ago has improved his health and wellbeing.

He claims switching has curbed his anxiety, migraines and eczema.

John buys bottled water from his local Co-op to wash with and drink.

The bill works out at roughly £360 a month or £4,300 a year — which John says is a small price to pay.

His daily soak requires 30 litres, to which he adds just a single kettle’s worth of hot water to feel comfortable.

He has cut down on buying takeout coffee and other luxuries to afford the water amid the cost of living crisis.

John, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, said: “It’s changed my life.

“I don’t know why it works for me. Maybe I’m allergic to the chlorine that they use to disinfect the water.”

He claims that some stores would not let him buy so much water at once.

John, who insists he is not a conspiracy theorist or anti-tap water said he also washes his clothes in bottled eau.

He said: “I used to struggle with extremely bad anxiety and migraines, and after a while I did loads of experiments on myself to try and stop it.

“I cut loads of things out of my diet, and eventually thought it just had to be the water — so I tried cutting that out and feel so much better.”

He also said he had eczema which has also improved.

John admits the £12-a-day cost of his bottled water might seem steep, but insisted: “I don’t mind paying the extra money to feel better.”
