An Overview of Bottled Water And Tap Water
Introduction
Everyone should drink 8 glasses of water a day – and when it comes down to it – there are two real choices, bottled, or tap. Which is the best, and is it worth paying the extra for bottled?
Tap
Tap water is cheap, and is usually a very high quality. If you have a tap water source, such as at home, this should usually be the option of choice. Do not be ashamed to ask for tap in clubs, bars or restaurants.
This article is intended for countries and areas where the tap water is considered safe to drink. If you live in a country where drinking from the tap is not recommended, bottled water is the only safe option. If you are travelling or visiting other countries on holiday – also consider bottled water, as the local water could cause stomach problems. Use your common sense, and seek advice before travelling.
Bottled
Bottled water is more expensive, but very convenient – perfect for days out, or when tap is unavailable. Unfortunately, when tap water is unavailable, some stores and venues charge a very high premium for water that is of no better quality than tap. Some bottled water claim higher purity, and high mineral content, filtered, and clean. These claims may all be true, but the only real requirement of water is that it tastes fresh and clean.
If tap is unavailable, buying a single bottle is fine, but if you want to use bottled in place of tap, you should consider purchasing very large containers, as this will work out much cheaper than smaller bottles. If your tap water is hard, or has a high PH, or strange taste, one alternative to bottled water is having a filtering system installed. This can work out cheaper in the long run over bottled.
