Which water is best? Filtered or tap?
by adminI know the safety levels of sodium are the first thing you look at when you buy bottled water for a year old child. At home ~ I live in a hard water area but good quality ~ what are the differences between tap and jug-filtered water?
Tap water and jug filled water come from the same place, tap. If you read the labels lately almost all water makes mention of it coming from tap. If you filter your water you are simply refiltering filtered water as water has to be filtered at the plant before its sent through the pipes for home consumption. The only differences are w/ vitamin water or similar that have additives.

The human race has survived long enough without the need for filtered water. Dont buy into the propaganda you’ve so obviously been fed.

I think it would be jug filtered water because that is what it is meant to do unless you think tap taste okay.Well tap water isn’t bad for you or anything its just not completely filtered

Well we have had a jug, regular tap, and a fliter, the fliter and the jug taste the same the tap doesn’t(thefilter hooks onto your tap)
Really depends on where you are.
Example: I live in Fort Collins, CO and our tap water is just as good, if not better than bottled water.

They actually just did a study that found that tap water is actually safer to drink. Tap water has more regulations than the filtered water companies.One company had some levels of arsenic in it. And most of the time jug water is tap water just filtered. So why pay for a plastic jug.

Where is your water coming from? If your backyard well, have it tested, if a municipal source, they can give you a recent water analysis.
In general tap water is just fine, and a lot of children drink it and turn out healthy. OTOH, you really don’t know what goes on in those bottling plants

I have drank "council juice" all of my life and have sufferred no ill effects. I don’t see the point of paying for expensive bottled water, when we have a perfectly good supply straight from the tap!! Jugs and filters are just a con, in my opinion…

Most of our tap water (as long as it’s not well water) has fluoride in it. This is important for your child’s teeth. If you end up using a water w/o fluoride, consult your dentist for a supplement you can him.

To be honest i don’t think theres much difference between tap water and bottled water, theres a slight difference between jug filtered water, however theres a special water filter system that you can buy to connect onto your water pipe and the water that passes through it get filtered and my mum swares it tastes nicer and it supposedly filters out what isnt neccessary, You can buy these off the internet and they have their own special little tap which sits at the side of your normal tap
