In this video, it shows that most bottled water is come from tap water.  Bottled water's brand logo usually looks like it comes from the natural sources, like snow mountain and spring. The bottled water just use filter to remove the funny taste from tap water. If the bottled water is tap water, why we spend lots of money on it?

 

Bottled water is tap water!!!

How much do you pay for the water? If you only drink bottled water, you would spend huge money on it. Tap water is much cheaper than bottled water. So why we spend lots of money on the water that is almost free?




















In the article “Bottled Versus Tap: Which Is Safer?”, the author Conis explains, “Bottled and tap water come from essentially the same sources: lakes, springs and aquifers, to list a few. In fact, a significant fraction of the bottled water products on store shelves are tap water – albeit filtered and treated with extra steps to improve taste”.

 The author is writing about tap water is better than bottled water in this article. Both of them come from the same sources, but the bottled water is much more expensive than the tap water.  Bottled water isn't a good value for people

Bottled water isn't a good value for people. When we drink bottled water, perhaps, we just drink filtered tap water but cost thousandfold than tap water. A bottle usually has 17 FL OZ (fluid ounce) of water that usually cost 1 or 2 bucks. That means if people want to get a gallon of bottled water, they have to spend more than 7 bucks on that water. If we check the price of tap water, we will shocked realized that bottled water is really wasteful; “Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon” (Baskind) People also have to spend extra money on tax and bottle. The price of bottled water is much higher than tap water. If people consider another sold liquid that they used generally, gasoline, they would seriously consider why they cost lots of money on bottled water. In the California, the price per gallon of gasoline is hovering around $ 4.5, some place even higher than $5. The gasoline price is rising a lot in the last few years, but it still not more than the price of bottled water. We usually hear others complain about the price of gasoline, but no one care about the price of bottled water.Therefore, if tap water and bottled water comes from the same sources, why we still cost gasoline price to drink “free”water? Tap water is better than bottled water on the price.
