bottled water vs. tap water?

[Lotusblossom]

Single use water bottles are obviously not good for the planet... and who even knows where that stuff comes from... but i definetely dont drink tap ever

It depends on the tap. Sometimes they just taste so bad. But usually it's fine and I'll drink from the tap. I live in the city though so...

I use tap water. I have this gigantic- and I mean American sized snack-food tier- reusable water bottle. I drink the whole thing in a day, giving it ice from time to time!

No tap water. I've tested enough tap water and that includes city water in multiple areas of the US (was a past job)...Don't really purchase bottled water either (there's no strict regulations for bottled water companies).

We have a filtering system (reverse osmosis), use it for cooking and drinking. Use the tap for just cleaning water.

I use the refillable method with the 5 gallon jug, I feel like the water tastes better from those big water machines than tap water or bottled water xD

Water bottles are my go to. Tap water tastes gross and pouring water from a gallon is too much work for me lmao but I will if we dont have bottled water
I don't have my own water bottle tho

Personally, I don't get very good tap water where I am so I use filtered.
So, filtered water or just a reusable water bottle.

I drink tap water all the time and bring it in a reusable bottle wherever I can but if I'm on holiday or in a different state I drink bottled because for some reason it doesn't look or taste fresh. Maybe it's just because I'm used to the water where I am. Like how for some reason water from the kitchen tap taste different then the water from the bathroom tap

It's safe to drink tap water here, so I use reusable bottles and tap water to refill ☺

our tap water is pretty tasty and it's free so I'm more of a tap person, bottled is ok too though

the tap water in my town tastes pretty disgusting, it honestly tastes a little like pool water or something lol. but i never ever buy bottled water!! we bought a brita filter which has kept us from buying bottled water for a few years now, so i’d call it a good investment. plus a lot of the brands that sell water are super super scummy (looking at u nestle)
any time i’m drinking water i put it in my water bottle, and it either comes from my brita filter or those really cool water fountains with filtered water. i swear no water tastes better than what comes from those fountains lol.

I use tap water whenever I leave the house in my own water bottle, not a plastic bottle but a hard plastic BPA free one? Not sure what to call it, but it's reusable and safe to take anywhere.

If I absolutely need a bottled water when I'm on the road, I get horrible carsickness, so sometimes even with meclizine or dramamine for motion sickness I need more water. Which we should all drink lots of water anyway, but especially for long road trips I'll take mine and ONLY if I need an extra, I'll pick a plastic up at the Holiday gas station and usually still have them today and just filter through and keep them clean or recycle them. Don't worry, they aren't like years old, but I don't like using them too much anyway.

In terms of the taste, the only bottled water I will drink is Ice Mountain because it tastes the most similar to my tap water, aka no real taste. And I know people may not agree and that water is water, but Dasani, Aquafina, etc have a different taste based on where the water is, the company it's from, or whatever and some people don't taste it. I wish I couldn't taste it but dang sometimes it's so clear there's a taste (and it's not flavored water either)

Were are you from? I'm from Brazil and I always thought this filter was a national thing lol

So yeah here tap water is usually not potable and most people have filters at home, water bottles are mostly bought when you're at a restaurant or something (we don't get free water here)

 

[cucumberzest]

I know I need to use a filtered water bottle since even though plastic can be recycled, it can only be reused so many times. Still, currently, I am drinking water from plastic bottles. I'm moving on my own Saturday. so I'm just not going to buy any. Easy peasy.

we exist uwu
probably from a filter of some sort, I guess. I think it's a law that says you can't refuse to give people water but people buy it bc it's just easier

 

[mogyay]

i literally find it hard to drink bottled water bc our tap water is just SO GOOD, it's like drinking a fresh mountain
