Tap Water vs. Bottled Water What Would You Drink?

June 24th, 2010

Have you ever wondered what the difference between bottled water and tap water is? What is better to drink is another question that comes to mind when thinking about the first question. Is one any safer to drink than the other?

There are many answers that come out from many different people when these questions are asked. If people stopped buying bottled water then the bottled water companies would end up going out of business. Bottled water and tap water is basically the same thing. This is a statement that is true if there is anywhere on the sticker that states that the water is bottled from any municipal, like vegetable juices usually. So this means that you are buying water that could have been bottled at your own home.

Some believe that the plastic bottles that the bottled water comes in can leach poisons into the water and this depends on the amount of time that the water sat in it. Not only poisons can be present from the plastic but there can be some bacteria as well. There has been studies done that prove the higher price that you pay for bottled water the better the water you get, which is like spring water usually. This meaning that there may not be poisons and bacteria present in the higher priced water.

Tap water is regulated but over the years there has been some issues over tap water not being too safe. There have been tests that have given proof that tap water has mercury, aluminium, bacteria and parasites. Along with that mixture of metals there has been some trace amounts of paper products that get flushed down the toilet as well, not just toilet paper. With this said maybe the best form of obtaining water is your tap water filtered yourself. This is similar to vegetable juices to most people. This way you know where it has come from and what it goes through before you drink it.
