Anyone ever use those automated water filtration machines. 4 qai as opposed to 10 to have it delivered seems to be a pretty good savings... if it's safe???

It is not clear what machines you mean.
The machines around my xiao qu seem to only fill up bottles about half the size that the delivery guy brings. Plays some music while waiting as well, so an added bonus.
If you're looking to save a couple of kuai then yeah get all on it, they're surely as safe as the delivery guys stuff and plenty of people seem to use them here (not me). Is a kuai or 2 worth the effort or the helping to slowly take away another source of income for the unskilled in China though?.
Those machines filter the water, but not sure often the filters get changed.
The bottles are actually a quarter the size of the ones delivered (5 liters vs 20). We use those ourselves but have our own filtering system.
Probably safe enough.

Probably not water from a foot massage bath - there was one scandal like this.
You can most likely assume its not straight from a bath or something like that.
footbath scandal was mixian factory in north of city using water from local footbath to save money
Ok, heh. Rice noodles, so it was.
@Alien ‘PROBABLY safe enough” lol!
The footpath noodles probably had a nice aroma to them with the unique texture originating from bunion gristle and blister juice. It’s when it starts to taste extra salty that you should really start to worry.
Shanghailist article interesting, but I haven't had any problem. Santiago, I think your chances are pretty good.
