How do you prefer your water?

Do you like filtered water, bottled water, or water from a tap. Personally, I do not care either way. I guess you can say I prefer tap water. I know people who swear by filtered water, but I can not tell the difference one bit. What do you people like? Can you tell the difference between filtered, bottled, and tap water?

I can only tell the difference between tap & bottled/filtered when I'm in an area where the water comes from a well or obviously has too much iron or metallicy taste to it. Otherwise, I'm totally happy with drinking unfiltered from-the-tap water. I don't really care either way. The only thing I really like about bottled water is that it's convenient (if you forget to fill up your water bottle before you leave) and it's nice to have when you're in an area where the tap water may be..questionable. Otherwise, I actually like the taste of tap water!

I was once at the Philadelphia Zoo and decided to drink from the water fountain, which would make the water I was about to consume tap water. This was the funkiest tasting liquid I have ever drank. I heard other people making comments about how strange the water tasted. I guess it all depends on how the tap water tastes. You were right on the money.

Hello friend frankly speaking I generally use filtered water as in our locality the source of water is not sufficient and it is mining area and water is contaminated. Hence lots of inhabitants are suffering lots of disease like skin infection , jaundice, hepatites etc. Hence to protect & safeguard my all family members use to take filtered water. While travelling we are using mineral water. Tap water can not be consumed directly. pkc3000

filtered water if not the bottled water every tie at least filtered water, because water from the tap can cause many diseases and can be a cause of many harmful problems so every time we drink water it should be filtered or it should have been boiled for at least 5 minutes.
