Honestly, what is wrong with you people who choose bottled water over tap water? Isn't it just because of the chlorine that is used in tap water that makes it taste bad? If so, you can just use a water filter, or someone suggested if you left out water for a day, the chlorine will evaporate or something like that.
I can understand that people would prefer coke over water because coke has an actual taste, but disposable water bottle? How can you like ripping yourselves off of your money?
Duh - people drink stuff from bottles instead of faucets for the same reason they use cell phones instead of land lines- they like the convenience of taking it with them. All their other answers are programmed responses trained into them my advertising and marketing gurus.
You address the question of why people choose to drink bottled water if they could drink tap water, how about why they choose other bottled drinks, such as Coca-Cola, Stella Artois and Chivas Rega instead of tap water. These also come in bottles, coke usually comes in plastic bottles which are also unrecyclable. These waste the same recourses as bottled water, and many of these are also unessecary. Other bottled drinks also take more water and energy to produce.
All I know is that water from a bottle tastes a lot better than from the sink. I would rather have good tasting water than worry about the environment.
The privatization of water has had a disastrous impact on the human right to clean water, and the French company Suez is the worst perpetrator of this abuse. The company's billions of dollars in profit come at the expense of poor people living in countries where thousands lack access to potable water, and, because of private water contracts, are also facing skyrocketing water prices.
Whoever is saying that RO will leach minerals from your body does not know what they are saying.That is a flat out myth. A study done with injecting distilled water into people showed that people will shed small amounts of calcium when INJECTED with distilled water NOT RO. So if your injecting yourself with distilled water then hey you may want to be careful ;)You get over 99% of your minerals from the food you eat. Just the facts!
Fiji water being shipped to the US is the worst of all bottled waters. It takes extra gasoline to ship something that can be obtained locally. Besides, the water from Fiji is no better than tap water and it costs much more. The only bottle water I drink is from my own reusable sturdy bottle.
Tap water is not necessarily better, that is a fact. Most brands of bottled water can be recycled. Plus, its very fashionable to drink bottled water. My cats also prefer bottled water to tap water, its strange that they pick that over tap water....
yeah, the city's dump tons of minerals in and they come thru copper and lead pipes too, and dont forget the arsenic from the old farm days. not an issue. cant drink enuogh RO water to cause a problem. plus you eat when you drink. worry more about the stuff the water leaches from the plastic bottles
inorganic "minerals" in water like calcium & magnesium do not provide any nutritional benefit as reported by the National Institute of Health. some H2O has arsenic, aluminum, & nitrates. If yours does, then RO's are the way to go

Reverse Osmosis removes all minerals in the water so it isn't better for you. It will REMOVE minerals from your body!!
Stick with the tap at home.

i think you would have the same problem with tap water unless minerals were added.

Remember, tap water doesn't come from the sky, it comes from the ground where it picks up tons of minerals. RO systems remove ALL of that!

There is minerals in tap water. Your water utility will provide you with the mineral content once a year or upon request.
BlazedRafter 4 years ago 2
You cannot say the quality is better without testing it. Have you? I have. I prefer Reverse Osmosis, or Distilled.
I agree with you about the bottle use.
I suggest looking into the differences with "SPRING WATER". Get back to me with any questions.

Yes! One of the BEST things you can do to acquire the purest water - take it from the air.
