Is there any difference? I have RO at home so I never drink it myself. |

Too many plastic bottles floating around to just buy ones you can't really reuse a whole lot. |

But I don't think bottled water is better than tap, unless you live in a town with very bad/hard water. New Jersey is supposed to have really bad water whereas Long Island has 'the best,' but it doesn't make much of a difference to me. |

For a bottled water in a pinch, I like Poland Spring just fine, the Missus likes Fiji. |

I live in Jersey and the tap water there is pretty bad. I still drink it because I'm not picky at all, but I have a big filtered pitcher thing that I keep in the fridge. |

I was used to needing tons of shampoo, soap etc. Over there you need a drop. In Jersey even a cup of soap won't make a bubble bath! |

As far as bottled water, I can't tell one from another  The water directly from our tap smells and tastes like the phosphate mines  |

The only time I ever buy bottled water is if I'm going camping, or if I need a drinking bottle to keep-refilling for the day. |

In my town, the water comes out of the ground at 90 degrees F, and it has lots of extra minerals in it, which you can see precipitating in the glass. And it tastes like crap. Complex filtering doesn't make it good water. In Boulder, CO, though, the water came from a glacier, and was ice cold from the tap.
Consider yourself lucky that you live in a place where they have good water.
