Could you tell the difference between tap and bottled water, Honestly?

Answer 1

it depends on what part of the world you live on were live you can tell the difference here in TN

Answer 2

I live in the UK and cannot tell the difference between tap and bottled water. Have been using tap water for years and now just started buying bottled water and cannot tell the differance. Honestly I cant.

Answer 3

I have lived in the same area for 24 years and never liked the water. Our water comes from a public well and if there is a boil order, I never know until it has been lifted so we drink bottled water. We keep a Betta fish in a 1/2 gallon container. In tap water, there was slime on top of the water after 3-4 days, not so with the bottled water we put in his bowl.

Answer 4

Yes, you definitely can when the water is sparkling - you can't get sparkling from the tap!
I particularly like the Italian sparkling water San Pelligrino.

I mostly drink filtered water from a jug at home and you can definitely taste the difference between this and tap water, partly because is softens the water,

I must admit though, that I once went to a water tasting at a country fair, and I was fooled by one of the tap water's. However, not enough to drink the Thames Water tap water that we get at home!

I hope this helps:>)

Answer 5

Evian bottled water seems to have a more distinct taste than other bottled waters I had. I've heard that buying water is a waste because most water from the faucet has to meet the same health standards as bottled water. So here I am looking at the 24 pack of bottled water I recently bought from the grocery store.... is it a waste of $....I don't know!

Answer 6

Absolutly not its a rip off.if water is chilled straight from the tap it tastes the same and better.But have you noticed ask for a glass of water in a Restaurant and they say that their water is not consumable,and charge an astronomical fee for a bottle of tap water with a pretty label on the bottle.

Answer 7

There is no doubt about. I live on a huge lake and they have two wells. One is near the water. This past winter when all the RV's moved out I went down to the pier and all I could see was "grey" water pipes empting into the lake.
I drank this water and finally found out what was causing my Diarea..I was drinking P...,sh.., and whatever. I only purchase water from Culligan water supplier in this area. My son said purchase filters on the faucets. Just remember filters, regardless how good the manufactor says they will get out the "microbes, the parasites. They may get out the hard elements likel, iron, sulfur, but those invisable microbes. Forget it,. or keep taking Imoudin. (sp)

Answer 8

In my region, absolutely. Well or spring water tastes better than bottled water and city water tastes worse. In most areas, no unless the tap water has too many purifying chemicals (like chlorine).

Answer 9

No, we haven't got tap water at Camooweal. Bottled is a bit pricey but good this time of year.

Answer 10

definitely, see with me its its filtered water that's almost started to freeze(really cold) or good bottled watter. Tap water has this bad after taste that water really should have so i try not 2 drink it but the weird thing is that some bottled water have a bad aftertaste to so i try not to drink them either.

Answer 11

100% yes...they taste totally different. My husband tried to catch me out by filling a bottle with tap water but I knew the minute I tasted it !!!
