Want this question answered?
The water in my area sometimes tastes odd. What is considered the better choice in terms of pure drinking water? How does bottled spring water compare to distilled water? Whats the difference between the two?
Distilled implies boiling, Reverse osmosis implies the use of semi-permeable membranes. I say "implies" because there's a lot of cheating in the bottled water industry.
The benefits of bottled water over tap water are it does not have that metallic taste which can be found from tap water, high health and safety standards are associated with bottled water to ensure it is free of contaminants.
No. Assuming the bottled water in question is electrolyte free, bottled water would be classified as a hypotonic solution.

The main difference between distilled and bottle water is the ions and minerals found in them. In distilled water, no ions nor minerals can be found while in bottled water such elements are present. The taste is also different due to the ions present (or absent in the case of distilled water) in the water. !!
Yes.
While bulk water usually is bought through a delivery service in five-gallon containers or larger, refreshment beverages are premium, image-driven brands, prepared in smaller containers
It will be exaclty the same, the only difference is that flushing the toilet with bottled water is very expense. It really will be a waste of money.
This is largely a matter of personal preference. Those with the means to buy bottled water on a regular basis prefer the convenience of a bottle that is ready to grab at any time. There is also the common perception (largely misconception) that tap water is dirty or contaminated. Finally, some insist that bottled water tastes better.
Bottled water began in the mid '80s. The bottled water market really boomed between 1990 and present day. Bottling water made water a market source allowing for a healthy alternative to bottled sodas and other similar products.
There's not a big difference between tap water in general and the bottled water that you can buy in the store. There have been a few companies, Aquafina for example, that had been accused of getting their water from public water sources. Aquafina bottles sold in the U.S. will have "Public Water Source," included on their label, the brand's owner PepsiCo has stated.
That depends on where you live in the world - In Norway tap water is completely harmless, however in places like London it can make you seriously ill. So I recommend bottled water for the most parts.
