What are the different types of water?
Filtered water has passed through a strainer, called a filter. Some calcium and other solid substances are kept in the filter; there is no filter made that can prevent germs from passing through the filter. Each filted pore is large enough for millions of viruses to go through it. Filtered water isn't all that safe for people drinking it. At the same time filter is becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Distilled water is water that has first been turned into a steam so that all of its impurities are left behind. Then it's turned back into pure water which is safe to drink from. Tap water is water that has been obtained directly from a faucet or even from tap right in your kitchen and bathroom. This type of water has not been purified, distilled or treated otherwise. Many people do not like to drink from the faucet because alot of them no do know what's in it, or think it's all that safe.Bottled water is the saftest water it comes from lakes and streams and has been purified and approved by the FDA. Americans should normaly dink around 7 to 8 bottles of water a day. Recently bottled water became a huge marketable asset. It ranges from at least $1 to $3 and is much better than any other kind of water out there .
