How safe is Tap water ? I think alot of shit you buy at the store like Spring Water, Distilled etc is bullshit they probably just put tap water in a container and sell it. Anybody else chime in.

Depends on the community.

Brasil has the most fresh water, so it's all good after you remove the worm larvae.

Some water companies have been known to simply bottle filtered tap water and then slap a picture of green mountain streams on the label, "suggesting" it is spring water. Usually, the label will contain the source of the water - if it is filtered or collected from a more natural location.
I use a water filter at home and at work.

Good information, I figured some of these companies were "shady".

I've read that most of them use regular water, then they throw in a drop of spring whatever into the tank its now ''spring water'' and they can say it comes from a stream in the wilderness, when its all from the Detroit river.

Dasani, a Coca-Cola product. Despite its exotic-sounding name, Dasani is simply purified tap water that’s had minerals added back in. For example, if your Dasani water was bottled at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Philadelphia, you’re drinking Philly tap water. But it’s not the only brand of water that relies on city pipes to provide its product. About 25 percent of all bottled water is taken from municipal water sources, including Pepsi’s Aquafina.

I believe it.
It's cheaper, more practical, and they can still meet the label claim.

This.
In Gilbert, Az where I have a home, there is a tremendous amount of turbidity (essentially clay) and hardness (dissolved minerals) in the water. Needless to say I have a reverse osmosis system and water softener to insure the quality.

Its all bull.
If anything, just buy this if you want fresher water

Kinda like adding a spritz of holy water to a tank of water, and now it's "Holy Water", or like in Constintine, where they put a cross in the water tank, it became "Holy Water".

I was gonna see it for the first time this weekend.
Thanks.

Not necessarily. Just in my area alone there's a community where a gas pipeline runs through and it ruptured, contaminating many of the wells. There's another large city nearby and they have radium in their water (and some people drink it :-X) A Brita isn't going to filter that out. I'm on a private well and I still use a Brita, but it's just for the taste factor.

Yes on a gas pipeline, I worked for a company near a big gas storage facility you could smell the gas in the water I wouldnt drink it.

I have a filter in my fridge, so it's purified tap water. That said, Rome has awesome water that runs out of fountains throughout the city.

The mummy, because he didn't know Kung Fu.

Distilled water is water that has been through a “still”…that is water that has been boiled and the vapors condensed…resulting in water with nothing in it.
Reverse osmosis is a process where they force water under pressure through a membrane that only lets water molecules through it, holding back everything else…resulting in water with nothing in it.
In freshman level college chemistry I asked if there was any difference between the two and I was told that only the most sensitive tests stretched to their very limits can distinguish between the two.
You should only use distilled or de-ionized water in your car's radiator...this will prevent mineral build up.

Excellent point.

Bottled water does not have to be regulated in any way, not by the city, state or the FDA. Water that comes out of you tap is regulated by the state you live in and has federal standards they must meet. That being said bottled water could be from a river with a deer pissing upstream but as long as it taste good and makes no one sick its ok, so city water is definately safer though it may not taste as well. Now if you have a city thats water supply is from a deep well ( such as mine) the water taste great and requires little treatment, but if you have a city that gets its water from a surface supply its very likely that it taste like ass.

I always drink tap water. This time of year it is so cold and fresh so tasty!
-
I just fill gallon jugs with tap water and put them in my fridge. Once its cold enough you can't taste the difference.

rain water is best collect in buckets IMMEDIATLEY

I have a 2000 gal cistern. we collect rainfall off of our roof and run it through a charcoal filter before we drink it, it is some damn good water.
We have a well that smells of sulfur and city water for backup but after drinking rain water for a few years it is really easy to taste all of the chemicals in city water.

try hydrochloric acid

They're not still using lead plumbing? ???

Perhaps in SOME more remote areas, but in city areas you'd be getting all the atmosphere "pollution"

Roofing material chemicals ??? :-X I do the same thing, but water my outdoor plants with it.

Our roof is made of steel, the first bit of rain washes the roof before any water is collected.

Something tells me water isn't the only thing "Mr Nobody" gets straight from the tap :-X

Bottled water isn‘t fluoridated. My family drinks tap water. Fluoridation was a massive boon to mankind.

Some?? they all do!
Do you think they go up the mountain with some bottles and have lil fairies fill em up? It's tap water they're using, straight from the tap on the industrial site the bottling is done.
You're paying a X1000 price mark up compared to your communal tap water.

Nobel Prize winner disagrees with you:
a world-famous doctor has expressed strong opposition to water fluoridation.
"I would advise against fluoridation. Individual prophylaxis (treatment) is preferable on principle grounds and is as equally effective," says Dr. Arvid Carlsson of Sweden, co-winner of last year's Nobel Prize for medicine.
