What is the difference between filtered water and bottled water?

Question

Is one better than the other?

Answer 1

filtered water has been through a special filters to get rid of impurities etc with the bottled water is just ordinary plain tap water

Answer 2

filtered water has been through some type of filtration bottled water probably has a s well but there is no guarantee

Answer 3

none just ones in a bottel

Answer 4

Bottled water is most likely just tap water/local ground water from a tap that has been filtered more/differently. Thus they are the same. If you mean spring water versus filtered water then they are different. And there's mineral water.

Answer 5

these are both true but you have to look at the brand of the water. one's like aquafina and desani are pepsi? brand i think and basically that water is just from tap somwhere and filtered. i think that water has a different taste. if you look at the waterbottle and it says "spring water" then the water is straight from a spring with no impurities. i prefer spring water because just the thought of the other water being from a tap grosses me out and plus, i am paying for water i can get in my own sink :)

Answer 6

Bottled water may also be filtered water.  It can also be purified, by filtration, reverse-osmosis, (another type of filtration), distillation, (this actually takes out any minerals and all impurities), and some bottled water is simply water in a bottle!  Spring water is bottled at "the source", meaning at the outlet of an underground spring.  Oh yes, mineral water too! (ie:Perrier, Evian,etc.)

Water is water.

If we were dying of thirst, would it matter which kind was in a bottle, or even in a lake?  BTW-Yuck.

But your choice of bottled water is up to you.

Personally, I have a distiller machine at home and use that for anything I ingest or cook with.

I do buy bottled water of several sorts and sources.
