um because factories clean out the water so we dont get any diseases from the water from our taps but with sea water it comes from lots of streams and lakes and then leads into the sea.

2nd Answer:

Tap water is essentially tap water that has little dissolved salts in it.

Sea water, year after year for millions of years had collected fresh water with a small amount of dissolved salts in it. The water always evaporated out, but keeps on leaving the salts behind in the sea. So the sea gets saltier and saltier as time passes.
