Ozarka vs. Sink Water

[Lin55]

We use Ozarka water to boil and make tea. Wouldn’t it be the same if I used sink water since i’m boiling it? Am I just wasting my Ozarka water?

I hate to the the one to tell you this but most bottled water is simply tap water although the brand you are referring to I am unsure about. I can tell you for a fact that wall-mart brand, target, home depot, Meijer brand, and Kroger brand water come in part from Detroit public water supply.

Yeah, thats what I figured. My SO is such a health freak water snob though! thanks

although I must admit the bottled water does not taste metallic like sink water.

Not around here.  We double filter water before it gets to the water heater and have to replace the heating element twice annually because there's STILL so much crap in the water that it burns out the element. 

Sometimes our water is yellow/brown and disgusting.  Even if bottled water is just bottled from a tap, it isn't bottled from the local tap!

Most tap water has tough Public Health standards to meet, bottled water not.

Unless you have a know health issue with your tap water, the only reason I would buy bottled water would be for taste, or really old plumbing.  My tap water does not taste good, I have a filtration system in my refrigerator door water, so if I am drinking it, making coffee or its for the dogs, it goes thru the fridge.  If I didn't have that I would use something like a britta.

I personally try to stay away from individually bottled water, not just from the environmental issues, but I don't like the plastic taste.  Plus, most water sold like that is more expensive then gas!

Smart Water / Nestle Pure is definitely not tap water.

I can't stand any other time of water (Except Voss and Fijji) it all tastes like crap... but I fell in love with the taste of Smart/Nestle. Even though I hate water, These are more bearable.

hmmm the lawsuit which states they were sued again for mislabeling tapwater as spring water tends to state something much different. you can read it for yourself as a very simple google of is nestle tap water returns infinite results....i would also suggest watching penn and teller bottled water on youtube as it is priceless!!!!
