Bottled water is rarely subject to the same stringent regulation and testing as tap water. Most bottled water is NOT cleaner, safer or more pure than tap water. In fact, most bottled water is re-filtered tap water that is bottled and sold with a fancy name or label.
Bottled water can be as much as one hundred times more expensive than tap water.
There are NO significant contaminants in the DRUC tap water that would be removed by a home filter system. If you are thinking of drinking bottled water or purchasing a home filter system because you feel the water might taste better than tap water, the DRUC suggests you try keeping a pitcher of tap water in your refrigerator. Placing a pitcher of tap water in your refrigerator will allow the chlorine disinfectant to evaporate and will cool the water. The cooler water will taste just as good as other water but will be better for you and your family. The fluoride in tap water is essential for the health of your teeth, especially babies and toddlers.
