What do you prefer Tap Water or Bottle Water?

The tap water from the area I grew up in was brilliant. The houses were old and we had metal piping which took some of the fluoride out of the water. It was "soft" water too and tasted better than all bottled water I've tried.

When I moved to a new house with plastic pipes, it tasted like swimming pool water. The only solution was to "beat" the water (which did help somewhat).

Despite caring about environmental issues, I have fifteen to twenty litres of bottled Scottish fizzy water at home. Transporting water by road is an environmental black mark. I really should buy a water filter.

Tap water. I've always had access to delicious tap water. Well, except those two years in hell. It always seemed weird to me that people wouldn't drink from their tap. And then I was introduced to bad tap water. I am so thankful for easy access to clean water.

The tap water in my city might very well kill you. That said, I have a picture with a filter. No sense in wasting a bunch of plastic bottles.

Tap water is full of flouride. I prefer bottled.
I drink half a case of water a day.. =]

Well it depends where I am, I'm in an area where the local supply is decent.

I drink filtered tap water.

I live in a place where the water is very good, so we usually filter the tap water and then refrigerate it, and it tastes just as good (if not better) than bottled water.

Considering that bottled water is often expensive, bad for the environment and often worse for you than tap water, I will usually opt for tap. As long, of course, as the tap water is definitely clean and pure.

My tap water has dust floating in it and tastes slightly metallic. So I have to go with bottled.

Filtered tap.

I also drink filtered tap, I did have bottled yesterday for the first time in over a year.

Water from third world countries.

I only drink bottled water TYVM

The water from my tap is from an underground spring, so its very cold and fresh. If Im in st louis or union, I might drink bottled, buy a soda, or wait for home. City water is nasty. Bottled water usually tastes plasticky.

ok what i want to know is.. what the hell does water taste like??!!

The used water in the toilet is good enough for me.

Not so much that I prefer tap water, but I pay enough in damn water rates £32+ p.c.m therefore I refuse to buy bottled water(don't get me started on that though or I'll be here all night and start boring everyone. xx
