[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people think the public tap water is dirty yet it's cleaner and more regulated than bottle water is so it doesn't make sense. I think it's sheer ignorance. Even using a brita or pur water filter with tap water is better than buying water it's cheaper and doesn't waste a bunch of plastic.  [/quote]

Tap certainly is not cleaner than bottled water since bottled water is just filtered tap water. [/quote]

Tap is cleaner. Tap also doesn’t have millions of particles of micro plastics like bottled water. Look it up. You think all that bottled water that’s probably been sitting in the hot sun, breaking down the plastic, is a good thing? Also, read about nylon tea bags. Like Ito En ones from Costco. These plastic particles can break the blood brain barrier as well. I only drink filtered tap now and loose leaf tea.[/quote]

Like many things: It depends.  There’s the water as it comes from the source;  there are the local and neighborhood pipes; there are the pipes and fixtures in the house or fridge water dispenser.  No one, without very specific, detailed information, can possibly know that “Tap is cleaner.”

Fun story: I love NYC tap water. I would rank it right up there with some of the best bottled water from glaciers that I’ve ever tasted.  I’ve also worked in schools where the water fountains were unusable — and covered with yellow emergency tape — because of lead pipes. 
So, again, you can’t make a blanket statement like “Tap is cleaner”.  Well, you can, but you’d be wrong.
