Did you know that there is no standard for bottled water in the U.S.?

Question

Unless you have an attatchment for your water on you kitchen tap, how can you know how pure bottled water is? I would like to know how would you know what bottled water to buy in California, and how do you know how pure it is???

Answer 1

Bottled water can be tap water that has been filtered. I prefer water that has been filtered as opposed to non-filtered, and know from fact that there isn't much difference depending on the price.

Answer 2

Bottled water is bad! I know I'm stating the obvious, but it's true!

Ever since it was introduced, it cost more than gas!

You could drink the same amount of water from your tap filters and save a bunch!

This might be irrelevant but the city of Vancouver, Canada is trying to get people away from bottled water and drinking tap water.

Just something to think about :P

Answer 3

i didnt know that but my dentist told me i need to drink more tape i got a cavity from not having the floride that they add in tap water

Answer 4

If my tap has sodium fluoride in it and bottled water at my local grocery store didn't, I think I'd buy the bottled water..

Answer 5

no i didnt kno that

but i do kno that most bottled water is basically just filtured tap water

if u read the bottle and it says purified water

like aquafina

its just tap water thats been filtured or purified

but if it says mountain or spring water like arrowhead then it tastes really different



i mean its about the same price for a bottle of water that probably came from a tap somewhere thats just been filtured and a bottle of water that came from a mountain spring somewhere

so if u just want healthy clean water thats safe to drink u should just get a filter that u use on your tap ( =

Answer 6

i didn't, but i will certainly check into that. thanks for the info!

Answer 7

A news to me. It means U. S. is relay, a backward no two words.

Answer 8

bottled water is a crime against nature - it is so wasteful on so many levels.  The costs to package and transport something that comes right out of your tap is just obscene.

Get the filter and use the water in your home - most bottled waters are no different than that.

Answer 9

I REALLY DON'T THINK ANYONE REALLY KNOWS HOW PURE IT IS  EITHER!!!! AND I'M SORRY BUT I CAN NOT TELL YOU WHAT BRAND OF WATER TO BUY  IN CALIFORNIA  EITHER!!!
