My Great Grandfather, William Cole, invented bottled water (sold over the counter) but did not have it patented so somebody stole his idea. (true!)
The concept of bottling water dates back to the 18th century, but it became more popular in the 19th century as a way to sell spring water for its perceived health benefits. The first commercially bottled water was sold in the United States in the 19th century.
Bottled water has been around for centuries, with origins traced back to natural mineral springs that people would bottle for consumption. The modern concept of commercialized bottled water is often credited to Jackson's Spa in Boston in the early 19th century where mineral water was bottled and sold for its perceived health benefits. The popularity of bottled water has since grown due to convenience, perception of purity, and marketing campaigns promoting its benefits.

Actually tap water is more regulated and pure than bottled water
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.

bottled water? Quibell
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.
