I watched a program once, and the answer to your question is simple. Bottled water comes straight from the mountains, but as with tap water..tap water contains urine, but has been mechanically cleaned.
Tap water will not make you ill, it is cheaper, so you may as well just drink it, enough people do!!

∙ 14y agoIt depends really, some bottled water is just a more pure tap. Some include vitamins that may not be found in tap water. Honestly, one should just buy a water purifier that can be mounted to ones sink. The filter will clean about as much gunk out of the water as their industrial filters, also it is more environmentally and financially less straining. (Less plastic to take up space in landfills, and it's cheaper.)

∙ 13y agoNo because of all the STUPID chemicals.
Plastic bottles constantly deteriorate, the chemicals given off gradually mixing with the water in the bottles. Plastic water bottles that have been stored in a refrigerator or freezer apparently give off even more chemicals than plastic bottles that have been continually at room temperature. People that feel a need to constantly carry a container of water with them would drink safer water if it was stored in a glass container. Much of the bottled water sold in stores is simply bottled tap water, and there is no assurance that any bottled water is free of contaminants.

∙ 12y agoThat depends on your location (where your tap water is coming from) and the source of the bottled water.
Aside: I once lived in a place where my tap water and the local popular bottled water came from the same place. Bottled water comes from a tap somewhere!

∙ 12y agoTap water has chlorine and various metals in it. Filtered water has all those things filtered out. It is my opinion that bottled water is better than tap water. It is all I ever drink.

Is bottle water better than tap water?
Depends on what company you're comparing tap water to. But most bottled water companies use filtered water (the same as tap water). In most cases bottled water is not purer than tap water. Note that tap water is not the same everywhere, not are all brands of bottled water the same. But legal requirements for water purity are the same for tap water as for bottled water. In some cases, bottled water actually is tap water, that has simply been taken from the tap and put into bottles.

That depends if the tap water is filtered or not. Bottled water is filtered, and some tap water isn't, but if the tap water is filtered, then both kinds of water are the same healthiness to plants.

What is better water tap or bottled?
It all depends on where you live. if you live in a country/rural area the tap water is most likely from a well or storage facility in the area. The water is not as well treated as city water so bottled water is better because it is cleaner and better for your health. In the city its all the same thing.
Is bottled water a scam?
Yes. It's more expensive. Bottled water is 500 times more expensive than tap water. Bottled water requires ridiculous amounts of plastic to make all the bottles, which are then dumped in landfills and often kill wildlife. Bottled water is also exempt from the harsh quality standards that make sure tap water is very clean. learn more below --------------------------------------------------------- It depends on a person's point of view. I think bottled water is no scam for tap water is bad for you and can cause blockage in the intestines. But still it is true bottled water can get pricey in some countries.
