Question

Whats better... tap water or filtered water?

Answer 1

filtered water...

Answer 2

Spring water :)

Actually it certainly depends on where you live, as tap water can have a nasty taste, or contain impurities or microbes unless it's "filtered" somewhere else (like a filtration plant).

Answer 3

Filtered water of course

Answer 4

Well filtered water is water from the tap so it would obviously have to be filtered water. It does not matter if you have a home filter or if it is filtered by a bottling company.

Keep in mind that there is also a difference between filtered and purified water. Basic filters, like Brita and Pur only improve the taste and smell of water. They don't do much of anything to improve the health related contaminates which may be in most taps.

Likewise if you are going to buy bottled water look for purified. The two best ones are Aquafina and Deer Park. They have outstanding purification processes.

If you want a purifier for the home ask me and I will refer one. The top rated system is actually cheaper to use per gallon than a Brita or Pur and is not available in stores.

Answer 5

tap water is yucky and bad for you!!!

Answer 6

Tap water apparently better for you because they put certain chemicals in it that clean you teeth and other joyous stuff like that.

Also is the filtered water is in a plastic bottle there are hazardous chemicals that can rub off into you water...yummy

so in the end tap water is better but it taste gross and is sometimes hard to see through....

Hope that helps :)

tap water unless you live at University of Central Florida....  We are still having issues with the water here... kind of scary when you think about it... There is a tiny risk of getting cancer from our treatment plants... This happened in 2006 but we never got letters saying if it was any better... included a link to the story below...

If you live in America, it doesn't matter.  Tap water is safe for the most part, but then the same can be said about filtered.
