I have well water so we have a Brita cooler with hot and cold water. I just don't like the taste of well water, so that is why we use the Brita and occassionally we get bottle water too.

i use tap water at home because its a well that has great water. when im anywhere but home i like bottled as long as its not dasani or aquafina (the pepsi and coke brands) they are disgusting which is not suprising considering they are remineralized water, they taste so gross, would rather go dry

I think most of the cities will have a safe and clean tap water supply to their peoples. I will only drink a bottle type when am not at home.

water - A glass of tap water can be better for you than bottled water!
Studies have shown that in most cases tap water is actually better than bottled water. Tap water has to meet higher standards and has less bacteria, etc. in it. Here's one article on the subject. http://www.case.edu/pubaff/univcomm/water.htm

I have a brita filter on my faucet as well as a brita pitcher that I pour that water into so I double filter my water. The tap water is particularly disgusting in my city.

Tap water - Water flowing from a tap into a drinking glass.
I prefer bottled water to tap water. It is safer. The only thing is, tap water tastes better than bottled water. So I guess you have to give up one thing for the other.

I can remember about 8 years ago when the store I worked in started carrying bottled water saying, I can't imagine actually having to pay for water to drink, this idea won't work, well don't I look silly now. I do prefer bottle water especially the newer flavored waters.

I like bottled water better but will drink tap water as long as I am also using Brita. Very good question. :-)

I really don't like the taste of city water...or the thought of all the chemicals they put in it to make it "safe" to drink. I love my dad's well water though. But since I'm married, I don't get to drink it all that often, so I prefer bottled water to the city water that I have access to.

You really like the taste of well water? We have a softener but I still just can't handle the taste of it. Thanks for the reply ;-]

I like bottled water :) I'll also drink tap water, but I have to put a lot of ice in it.

When I've been on well water, I've disliked it as well. Tasted gross. Our tap water is good, but has a strong chlorine smell, I'm looking into getting a water filter for it.

We have well water with sulfur in it which tastes terrible so we drink and cook with bottled water only.

I drink bottled water almost all the time. In my hometown they say we have very good tap water compared to most cities, but I have gotten so used to bottled water that tap water doesn't taste good. I will drink tap water if there is no alternative, but most of the time, it's bottled water for me. I even take several bottles with me to work.

Bottled water all the way, i live in the midwest and i swear all the tap water here tastes like dirt. It's gross. I cook with bottled water as well as just drink it.
