Tap water.

Well water tastes horrible. I hate well water taste.
Bottled water is the same as tap water. Tap water is cheaper.
Filtered water is the same as tap water. Tap water is cheaper.

*disclaimer*
Due to trace elements and particles that I am incapable of detecting, there is a small margain of error in my use of the word "same". I do not know how many PPM of "other stuff" are present in the various different waters, however, I'd suspect an extremely low amount.

I have little rooms in my house that has an outlet where I can turn a knob and get cold and hot water.

Lol, you're retarded.

Home reverse osmosis filter for me. Occasionally I'll buy a bottle of water.

At home and at work it's all filtered water, Seattle has some of the worst tasting water in the freaking world (at least from my experience).

When I visit my parents in Spokane I LOVE to drink straight from the tap. They have the best tasting well water, so crisp and naturally cold. I have made myself sick drinking too much water in one sitting...

Well=>Filtration=>Tap=> sometimes fill water bottle so => Bottled.

Future:
Piss=>Filtration=>Tap=>Me=>Piss...
or to make it more politically acceptable:
Piss=>Filtration=>Recharge=>Well=>Filtration=>Tap=>Me=>Piss...

At home its tap or bottled..doesn't matter. At school though, the tap isnt nearly as good so I drink mostly bottled.

Perhaps the tap water in my city is just better then the tap water where you live.
Or, perhaps I just can't tell the difference.
No, wait, it can't be either of those, they would be too "logical".
I must be retarded. Clearly that is the answer.
Is that your answer for everything?

We have a well at our house and the water is actually pretty good. It does taste better than the tap water we had at our old house.

Whether or not your can tell the difference does not mean that they are the same. Practically the same to you, but not the same.

Have you actually had a good bottle of water? Not that Deer Park sh!t?
Or have you had water from a good water filter, not those Brittas?

Just curious, and this ties into the retarded comment, because I just can't imagine how someone can lack that sort of taste discernment.

My brita, not so much because of the filtration (I rarely change that filter), but so that I have cold water waiting for me. Tap is never cold enough.

Poland Spring cooler at home. Will probably switch to tap water + filter to save some money.

Tap water is fine, I use a filter just because it's there and the water stays cold. I don't subscribe to the bottled water garbage if there's perfectly fine tap water available.

What would I know, I'm retarded, remember :)
Bottled water ... I've tried maybe two or three times when it was convienient, Aquafina I think. I've also had "Culligan" water up at my grandparents house (they have a well, and the wellwater is quite bad there. Very very hard water)

As for filtered water, I've drank water from one of those "pur" filters that attaches to the sink, and also from a Brita. Never anything fancy or high end.

I've never had an issue with the Tap water from the City of chicago. It's never made me sick. I've never noticed it ever "tasting" like anything at all. It's just a tasteless clear liquid as far as I can tell.

Straight from the tap. The tap water here has a slight copper and iron flavor which I like very much.
