Tap Or Bottle?

[smurfchops]

Tap water or bottled.. which is most healthy?

[Sqad]

All sorts of studies, allsorts of opinions, bottom line, they are just as healthy.......or rather safe to drink.

It's all about taste and I always drink bottled water.

We drink bottled water when we’re travelling, even in this country. But at home we drink tap water, occasionally fizzy bottled water, which I quite enjoy.
No idea which is most healthy, I guess both are the same.

I suppose it depends on whether you call that filthy muck that comes from taps in London water for a kick off.

More civilised areas of the UK have the real thing.

I drink only tap water. I have a reusable bottle that I fill from the tap.
Dave has bought bottled water. No idea why as the water here is lovely.
I say Dave has bought. He must have taken note of my face when he arrived home with the bottles and hasn't done it since. :-)

Most bottled water comes from exactly the same sources as tap water. For example, Coca-Cola tried to sell bottled water under the Dasani brand name in the UK, describing it ""as pure as bottled water gets" but sales fell off dramatically when it became known that they were simply filling plastic bottles from the mains supply at their factory in Kent.

I prefer to drink tap water as drinking water that has been sitting in plastic for a year doesn't appeal.

Indeed, Chris. Someone there must have been an Only Fools and Horses fan. :-)

I mostly drink tap water. Only when out and haven't got any, I buy a bottle. My two daughters won't give their children tap water because of the fluoride.

From what I've heard, they are much the same. I've never liked water, however, and really can't stand our tap water (very hard) so the only water I drink is effervescent, bottled water.
