I am a huge fan of Dasani water. You can find it at most grocery stores. It has a very clean taste. Bottled water is typically filtered more than tap water so you can be sure that bottled water has just water in it, none of the added chemicals.
Many companies around the world manufacture bottled water these days. Some of the most famous companies include 'Perrier', 'Evian', 'San Pellegrino', 'Mountain Valley' and 'Volvic'.
Depends on what company you're comparing tap water to. But most bottled water companies use filtered water (the same as tap water). In most cases bottled water is not purer than tap water. Note that tap water is not the same everywhere, not are all brands of bottled water the same. But legal requirements for water purity are the same for tap water as for bottled water. In some cases, bottled water actually is tap water, that has simply been taken from the tap and put into bottles.
Bottled water is not necessarily soft water. Much of the bottled water sold in stores is plain tap water, some is from springs containing various minerals in solution, and some is distilled water.
In some countries water drinking area's are provided that are called portable water stations. These water stations are fitted with a bottle of water that can be replaced with another bottle filled with water as and when each bottle runs out. The water bottles are very heavy and so the fact that companies can deliver them makes the water stations even handier. Companies such as Spring Wise Bottled Water and Virgin Pure deliver bottled water supplies.
Bottled water is really made from.... water. Some comes from springs, some come from the NYC water system... some is filtered more than others...
Actually tap water is more regulated and pure than bottled water
Some people like the taste or convenience of bottled water. Some do not trust public water no matter what the public officials say. Some use bottled water just because they got into the habit of doing so.
In the US , not necessarily, as some bottled waters are just from a tap somewhere anyway. In a foreign country, probably a good idea , if the bottled water is a known brand.
there are many: plastic, a bottle. and some water
Some of the disadvantages of using bottled water over tap water are the effects on the environment from all the plastic and the cost. Some advantages are that the water is clean and free of contaminants.
Depends - bottled or spring water is exactly the same as it came out of the ground. Some brands have added minerals for taste.
Some national companies that provide water bottle delivery service include Culligan's and Sparkletts. Ozarka, Arrowhead, Kentwood Springs, and other more regional companies may also be in your area. Any bottled water company will probably have a delivery service.
