Just a general map. 

Signs of dehydration.

If your pee is clear and you drink 3L of water per day, you're alright. Hydration is pretty simple, as are the basics of nutrition: calories, macros, whole foods & vegetables & hydration, and you're done, you have a diet that's 95% optimized.

Sounds like an orthorexic recommendation, why force yourself to drink so much? It's not like it's going to change anything to your health or life expectancy.

Btw, from experience cucumber juice, coconut water and milk are way more hydrating than spring water, which is itself more hydrating than tap water (where I am).

I often have the impression that the tap water sometimes comes out as quickly as it came in lol, maybe an electrolyte problem.

@Schizophonia 3 liters is not that much for a grown man.

Do you count water in foods? 
Just drink 500ml of water and I don't feel thirsty all day + clear urine.

@Schizophonia Liquid substances if you want, not really food. But that's alright man I'm not trying to convince you if half a liter works for you that's all good

I can also drink less and not feel thirsty, and honestly my recommendation comes from cross-referencing a lot, and it seems like everyone is pointing to what I said. I haven't conducted experiments on myself. At the same time, I rather drink more than I need to, than risk being on the edge and having performance decreases here and there. Doesn't cost me anything and I know it's surely not unhealthy

The difference you both are referencing all depends on what you are putting in that needs purifying. along with of course the size of the person, the quality of their air, and their level of exercise etc.
