Tap water contains chlorine and fluoride, neither one of these chemicals have been proven to be safe for human consumption. Particularly chloride which is an antimicrobial and may harm human tissues.
There have been some studies that suggest that the exposure of pesticides, plastic bottles, and chlorine in tap water play a significant role in the high rate of Breast cancer for women in the US.
There are many people, even experts, that highly recommend domestic filtration systems for drinking water.
Fluoride is added in small amounts in municipal water supplies in most American cities. This is because it supposedly reduces tooth decay. It does to a slight extent. However it has some serious side effects. Fluoride causes average IQ of Chinese children to decline several points. Fluoride damages human chromosomes. Fluoride causes permanent staining of teeth, for which is why the American Dental Association warns mothers not to use fluoridated water in baby formula.. Fluoride combined with aluminum causes damage to the brain resembling Alzheimer's disease, and aluminum is present in some baking powder as well as some drinking water. Moderate levels of fluoride exposure (e.g. 0.9 ppm in the water) can exacerbate the neurological defects of iodine deficiency, reduce melatonin hormone, and leads to an earlier onset of puberty. Fluoride also increases absorption of lead into the body.
With all of these considerations taken into account, the final verdict may be that tap water, even in industrial countries, may be unsafe to drink.
Only if your tap water is filtered by the Epa. They run the rules for filtering tap water while bottled water is run by the food and rug administration. Only 3% of the water u find in bottle water has to be spring water the rest is...tap water. Either way your drinking tap water.
There are different kinds of water purification or water filtration systems. It is easy to get confused with the different methods of water treatment water softening, water conditioning, water filtering, reverse osmosis, water ionizing or ultra violet water purifying. And as there are different methods of water treatment, there are also different manufacturers.
When was the last time you had your water quality checked?
If you're on a well, you NEVER know what's in your water.
It could be anything from sediment, to bacteria to sea otters! Then there are those on city water who may not be aware of the need for treatment. Of course they definitely know that swimming pool taste and odor which is why they spend hundreds of dollars each year on bottled water.
Take control of your water, take control of YOUR HEALTH. I recommend trying to use Hague WaterMax for the whole house treatment.

That depends on the purity of the water in the country or area your in, the tap water in the UK is safe to drink, Spain has a high mineral content and can upset your stomach, in other countries the water needs to be boiled to kill dangerous bacteria that could make you ill.
It is bad to drink tap water because there are lots of chemicals in side it but most people who do drink it there bodies are used to it so it will not harm them to much or any one else
in my personnel opinion there is really nothing safer in this world then tap in America.
iv been drinking tap my whole life.
No one really knows. Scientists are still studying if tap water is better than drinking water.
Depends on the plant, the chemicals might harm some of them.
You get hydrated
Tap water has vitamins in it, Iron and such.... Some tap water is bad too there is some tap water depending which area you live in have to much arsenic in it and will kill your plants. Your town should have a water survey you can find at your local library.
That depends if the tap water is filtered or not. Bottled water is filtered, and some tap water isn't, but if the tap water is filtered, then both kinds of water are the same healthiness to plants.
tap water is not that good because of chlorine. So low mineral water in bottles is better for them the chlorine might not be that good for plants, but plants do need the minerals in tap water.

Yes, unless your tap water is full of sulfur and sewer water.
The salt water will die the plants bad nutrients and bad chemicals and it will kill the plant. The tap water chemicals will not affect the growth of the plant. It might not work as well as distilled water because there is chlorine in it but it is fine
There are a lot of different types of plants, but I recommend filtered water (fresh) for carnivorous plants and I'm guessing tap water (fresh) would be fine for normal potted plants. But make sure you don't have too many chemicals in your tap water.
Always use tap water. Salt water kills all plants except plants that live in the sea.
Plants that have not edapted to growing in salt water will die if this is the only water they are given. Tap water is generally safe to grow plants in. In two weeks, if you were to water two identical plants, one with salt water, and one with tap water, the tap water plant would continue to grow, while the salt water plant would die.
