Mine lives in one of the bathrooms. So if my wife doesn't shut it off, my daughters do. I added a valve just to make it more accessible for them.
I thought we all used tap water? I get special tap water shipped from Flint Michigan.

mines always in the tub now. yup, I once left it a bit too long and it came through the ceiling over the kitchen. I really do not think it was more than 2 gallons though. After drilling holes to let water out and it dry, then patching, priming and painting and it not matching, I will always do it in the tub for the drain.
 
I’m fasting to show my solidarity with you Peanut! I was diagnosed with Crohn’s when I was 11yo, I have probably done over a hundred of those clear diets with nothing by mouth after midnight probably a dozen times.
Yet you mention peanuts in the first sentence, Kevin!

I’ve always set it in my utility sink. I set a timer and it’s been accurate for a long time, but if overflows a little it just goes down the drain.
 
I have a request just for today can we not talk about or post pictures of food? I have to do a clear liquid diet until tomorrow afternoon and it's not going to be easy for me... LOL
Nope 😉
Against the rules...

Mine's in the laundry room and I put a bucket directly in the sink so if I forget to shut it off it just overflows into the sink.
Thankfully
I've been known to forget a time or two...
 
Just a warning Tom, I’m concerned about your health. Follow this safety protocol.

I'm a little worried now, I haven't had spirits in around twenty years but I have lots of water every day. All I drink is water, coffee, and occasionally tea. Isn't ice just extra hard water? Our water is already pretty hard at around 700-900 TDS so it must be close to being ice already. Think I need to go see the doc
 
Poor Amanda...
Man, Joel has a heart that is cold as ice! That reminds me, did you hear that ice causes a lot of different and serious health problems?
