Bottled water sales have tripled over the last 10 years, partly because of the widening concern about the quality of tap water as well as convincing marketing assurance that bottled water is pure and safe to drink. But the truth is, somewhere between 25 – 40% of all bottled water is actually, bottled tap water.
Although the FDA has rules to prevent misleading claims of water purity, some bottlers will still label their product as “spring water” even though it was pumped out of a well and may be chemically treated.
While we deserve the assurance that our bottled water is safe, the only way to be completely sure you are drinking safe, pure water is to filter the tap water in your own home.
