Filtered water or bottled water? The bottled water industry is booming these days and the reason is because people just don’t trust the water that is coming out of their taps at home.

Some people refuse to drink from the kitchen tap because they have no idea what is in the drinking water.

In fact, most bottled water is simply filtered tap water using a water filter system and you can achieve the same result with a home water filter.

Many bottled water suppliers that claim their water is mineral water is in fact some simple bore water that is mixed with reverse osmosis water to soften or control the mineral content or is tap water with sea salt added, sea salt is high in minerals.

Some people are resistant to using reverse osmosis water due to the water being de-mineralised but there are very little amounts of minerals in even mineral water, a glass of orange juice contains around 30 times the minerals compared to normal tap or mineral water. Bottled water normally contains fluoride.
