Bottled Water – Is it what it claims to be?

The plain ones generally claim to be pure and clean or from a natural Spring.

Does the maker have laboratory proof?

Where did the water come from?

If it is purified water, what purification process was used? (There is only one method considered true purification – distillation – all the rest are considered types of filtration.)

Has the company had a laboratory test the water for contaminants? If so, what were the results?


 

Did you know that bottled water costs many times more than tap water (comparisons for the USA are a differential of up to 1,900 times!).

There are lots of potentially harmful contaminants in reticulated water – it varies for different towns. The most economical way to avoid them is to get a water purification or filtration system.

To avoid the potential hazards of disposable bottles (and the landfill issue), glass and BPA free bottles and jugs are the best storage options.
