Can you taste a difference between bottled water and tap water?

Answer 1

yes. i can. bottled tastes better. tap water has a metal taste i find.

Answer 2

Yes, I can. Depending on where you live, tap water might be floridated or clorinated. I'm not saying all bottled water is better than all tap water either. It's a little more difficult to tell the difference between bottled water and filtered water. Try that! Not as easy as you think!

Answer 3

It depends on the quality of your tap water. It has been in the news that some companies selling bottled water are using tap water, but it has been purified. So if your tap water has not been purified, it may have a different taste.

Answer 4

Yes I can. The difference between the taste of bottled water and tap water is :

Bottled water, is clear when you look at it, and it doesn't have any taste to it.

Tap water is cloudy if you look at it, and if you taste it, you can taste the minerals that were inside it.

Answer 5

Funny thing, no, I can't, but I can taste a difference between my filtered water and bottled/tap water.....lol

Only 8$ every six months and it's built into my refridgerator.

Answer 6

Yup, tap water has a definate mineral taste to me as opposed to bottled spring water.

Answer 7

Normally no. Here I fill a milk jug with tap, and keep it in the fridge, but when I lived in Tampa, I had to buy drinking water, It tasted as I would imagine Rosie O'Donnell smells.

Answer 8

Yes. I can taste the minerals and other things that are in tap water.

Answer 9

Yea, i can. Sometimes tap water taste like Egg water.

Answer 10

not when the bottled water comes from a PWS (public water source)

Distilled water tastes different... distinctly .. NO taste..

Distilled is the only water that is chemical free.... drinking water or other similar waters are most likely TAP WATER from the city they were bottled in..
