Best Answer

This depends on where you are, and the quality of your tap water and rain water among other factors.

Filtering: Yes

The lessening of particulates in the water enables it to evaporate faster.

Other Water Treatment: Probably No

The addition of chlorine or fluorine to the water may cause it to evaporate slower.

Temperature:

Whichever is hotter will evaporate faster. Hot tap water evaporates faster than cold tap water. Hot rain on a hot day may evaporate faster than cold tap water.

Tap water is just filtered water, and because tap water is just water, all water evaporates. Water is the only known substance that can be a solid, liquid, or a gas.

All waters can be evaporated, it is a natural phenomenon caused by the continuous movement of water molecules: several molecules from the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
