What is Better Tap Water or Bottled Water?
There is sometimes a difference between bottled water and tap water What is better to drink is another question that comes to mind when thinking about the first question. Then another thought, is one safer then the other?
Everybody seems to have a different answer to these questions when they are asked. It is obvious that if people stopped buying bottled water then the bottled water companies would go out of business. Well the fact is that bottled water and tap water happens to be 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 fruice juices usually. This means that you are drinking water that could have come from the tap at somebody’s home.
It is believed by many people that the plastic bottle that the bottled water comes from can leach poisons into the water but it depend how long the water had sat in the bottle. There may not be only poisons in the water but there could also be some trace amounts of bacteria as well. It has been a proven fact that the higher the price that is paid for the bottled water the better quality is received, which is like spring water usually. So this means that there is no poisons or bacteria 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. Tests have given proof that tap water has mercury, aluminium, bacteria, and parasites as well. 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 bottled water to most people. This way you know where it has come from and what it goes through before you drink it.
