Why should people pay to drink Mineral/Drinking water when they can drink tap water for free?
The number one reason consumers choose Mineral/Drinking water is taste. Unlike tap water which uses chlorine as a final disinfectant, Mineral/Drinking water is most commonly disinfected with ozone and ultravoilet, which does not leave a residual taste. Second, consumers are concerned about the quality of their tap water. In addition to concerns about chlorine by-products, contaminants such as lead, nitrates and micro-organisms have been discovered in municipal water supplies. Consumers are turning to bottled water because they can be assured of bottled water’s high quality. The third reason consumers choose Mineral/Drinking water is for what it does not contain — calories, caffeine or alcohol. Consumers are leading a more healthful lifestyle and turning more frequently to Mineral/Drinking water.
