It is probably the same quality, although there are fewer rules for bottled water (and fewer still for sparkling water) than for big city tap water. That means it might be lower quality (but probably the same).
If you follow the link below, you will see a handy table showing some of the differences in rules by the EPA for each kind of water (bottled, bottled sparkling, city tap). Most startling is the number of tests run per month to ensure quality (1/week for bottled water, no requirements for sparkling, hundreds/month for city tap).
Yes they just put it in a fancy bottle so u think it is better and buy it. It is still water
All water comes out of a tap so yes they are the same.
Tap water contains certain vitamins and minerals that bottle water filters out. So drinking tap water occasionally is not a bad idea. I heard that dasani is just tap water not filtered water also.
Depends on where it came from.
You're comparing apples to oranges, as tap water is still, and sparkling water has been carbonated...now, if you decide to compare bottled water to tap water, then that's comparing apples to apples...and generally, tap is just as good as bottled (if not better in some cases), as well as it's better for the environment.
What do you mean by "as good"? Sparkling water has carbon bubbles, and some people like that, so it's really a matter of preference. In terms of purity they are probably about equal. If you want purified water, filtered tap is best.
Its the same, only difference is that the bottled water is worse for the ecology because of the packageing and stuff and you pay more to get the exact same thing.
In most cases bottled water is simply water from some municipal water source that a company has placed in a bottle for resale.
There is a big misperception that bottle water is of higher quality than tap water.
The NRDC maintains that city tap water is required to undergo more rigorous testing to achieve higher purity standards than bottled water.
