Tap water that comes from Lake Michigan, which is very excellent water.

The fountain water americans drink all the time, do you guys filter that or is it recycle water??
I see the water going back to the button of the sink, where is it going to? Is it coming back once I press to get water? Geez, I hope not!! :D

Tap water is water that comes directly out of my kitchen or bathroom faucet. A tap is a faucet.

Wikipedia says:

"A water fountain or drinking fountain is designed to provide drinking water and has a basin arrangement with either continuously running water or a tap. Modern indoor drinking fountains may incorporate filters to remove impurities from the water and chillers to reduce its temperature. In some regional dialects, water fountains are referred to as bubblers. Water fountains are usually found in public places, like schools, rest areas and grocery stores."

The drain takes the excess water into the sewage system where it is filtered and purified before being released back into the environment--ground, lake, ocean, etc.

I like the tap water at my parent's house. Their well has great tasting water (It's from lake Michigan too... sorta. Well, about 30 miles away). I have city water where I live, it sucks. I'd prefer bottled water over mine (filtered is okay, but it still tastes weird if it's from the same source)

When I lived in western NY just south of another Great Lake, Lake Ontario, our water was piped in from that lake and was also excellent and good tasting.

When we first moved to this Chicago suburb where I still live, our water was piped in from village wells. The water was "hard" with many minerals, so we had to purchase a water softener that was hooked up to our water pipes and kept thick scum from forming when we washed dishes, bodies, and clothes. My aunt lived in another Chicago suburb where the wells contained a lot of iron, so sinks and toilets and bathtubs ended up with yellow rings and layers of crust if they weren't treated with chemicals.

Well water in Northern NJ, I've heard, has a peculiar taste but is not harmful to humans.

How about spring? Do you filter that then drink? Or just drink it

When I lived in New Hampshire, the water in the well was Artesian Spring and so cold, you'd get an ice cream headache.
Here in Florida, the tap water is good but isn't cold enough. I have chilled water on the front of the fridge and it's filtered.
Water from "the city" also contains additives like fluoride that can be beneficial.
Bottled water is more portable and quite handy. I keep several cases on hand.

I have tried their fruit water. The strawberry was pretty good. However, that was in Scotland, but I'm sure they have that here in the States too.

I used to drink Propel Fitness Water when I worked out in there field, in the summertime. I'm pretty sure it wasn't that good for you, and I assumed that back then, but it did taste good. I just thought of it as gatorade without the food coloring, since it was developed by them.

It tastes good and there are always funny statements on the bottles

Aww, I love funny statements. Like on laffy taffy? Stupid jokes are the greatest.

My dad told me this weekend, "What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef"

I have a filter that screws on to your faucet, it takes a lot of the impurities out and makes it seem to taste better, I don't really trust all bottled water because of the latest buzz about it not all actually coming from natural streams or etc...

I get bottled deer park water. We try not to drink the water from our tap, unless you have a filter on it, cause its nasty. I remember when I was younger and I would stay with my aunt who lived in a bad part of philly, we always boiled the water, when we cooked, took baths, drink it, etc. boiled water taste horrible too.

Detroit tap water has been rated better tasting than lots of bottled waters. Plus it contains fluoride, which is good for your teeth. For those who are curious: Fluoridated water is a Detroit invention.

Around here, bottled water is garbage. So are the empty bottles that people litter.

Nestle pure life... very fresh taste
Or dasani
But nestle pure life is cheaper and tastes about the same.

They say most bottled water is made from tap water that they filtered just like you do at home. Alaskan Falls is from tap water filtered in Ohio. You can do it yourself at home and sell it as long as it meets the standards for purified water. So are you really getting your moneys worth when you buy bottled water or would you be better to buy the filter and do it yourself than give somebody else the profit?

I have a well, so we have well water. I also filter it with a Brita water filter. I just like the taste better.

In El Salvador, we don't have clean tap water, so we buy bottled water. Costa Rican tap water is much cleaner than ours
