Can you taste a difference between tap water and bottled water?
Depends upon where the tap water is from. The tap water at the last place I lived at in California was undrinkable… it actually sometimes had a rust tint. The tap water from the place in Ohio was chemically tasting. The tap water at KeyshaJ’s place is quite palatable because she has her own well and is relatively away from a big city. However, I can tell the difference even between the water at her home and bottled.
Depends on where the tap is from, even within cities! I’ve been to parts of Georgia where I could not drink the tap. Other parts where is tasted as clean as most bottled water. Colorado seems to have the cleanest tap, parts of LA, not so much. Most bottled water comes from taps where the public water is very clean and has no taste. Most of Seattle tastes like bottled water to me.
If I do not taste the difference, I generally do not buy bottled water. If I am drinking water at the source, I suppose it tastes about the same as the same water in a bottle. But sometimes the do not put every kind of source water in a bottle, because there is too few of it. My tap water is very good, but sometime I like to drink another kind. And I taste the difference.
