Is bottled water safer than tap water?

Bottled water is not necessarily any safer than drinking water. It is perfectly legal to bottle water directly from wells, springs and even public water supplies. Accordingly, you could actually be carrying home water bottles containing the same low quality water that comes out of your faucet. If you are interested in bottled water, contact the National Sanitation Foundation at 800-673-8010 to find out which brands of bottled drinking water it certifies. In addition, keep in mind that bottled water is up to 150 times more expensive than filtered tap water. Plus, filtered tap water offers the convenience of clean water on demand from the faucet.
