The 34-year-old from Wilmslow reckons cutting out tap water five months ago has improved health and wellbeing.

John claims switching to bottled water has stopped anxiety, migraines and eczema. John splashed out £12 a day in Co-op buying supermarket water to wash with and Fiji water to drink.

This which works out at roughly £360 a month or £4,300 a year which John says is a small price to pay. A daily soak requires 30 litres of water, which John bathes in cold adding just a single kettle of hot water to feel comfortable.

And he has cut down on buying takeout coffee and other luxuries in order to afford the water amid the cost of living crisis. John said: "I'm not a scientist but it's genuinely 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. But there must be something in it to make me feel so bad." Despite being unable to drive, John says he manages to ferry water in from his local store by delivery or with the help of friends.
