Because my tap does not release mineral water... and I won't drink ordinary water if I can drink mineral rich water instead.

but tap water has minerals too >.<*

I have very good tap water, but its really hard, it has alot of chalk in it.
Also i like my water carbonated.

Pay for convenience and some water tastes better than tap.

Yes... among other... less than desirable ekements and chemicals...

I orefer pure mineral water with lots of different minerals.

hmm but. . . well ok true nobody exactly knows how old the pipes in the houses/ apartments are that deliver this water, so it could be a valid reason. ok i let your reason count >;P

Believe it or not some tap water just isn't great to drink from. Different neighborhoods have different tasting water.

Sometimes said tap water can make you feel sick tbh. Especially good to avoid those in cities.

Walter filters. Handy.

There's a lot of crap added to tap water that is very hard to remove once it's put in. A lot of heavy metals, industrial chemicals, cleaning supplies, aren't fully removed by the treatment process. And on top of that, chemicals we don't need to be drinking are added back in because at some point someone decided the human digestive system was the way to get rid of certain industrial waste byproducts like fluoride. Not to mention crap it picks up along the way through the city's water supply through your piping and out of your faucet.

Regular filtration (sorry, your Brita doesn't really do ♥♥♥♥) doesn't get rid of this, or a lot of the stuff people dump down their drains, you need multi stage distillation or reverse osmosis to achieve it.

It's much easier to buy stuff that has been extracted from a clean water source and bottled.

Depending on where you live, the tap water may not be exactly safe to drink. On overseas school trips, I remember constantly being told not to drink the local tap water and to drink bottled water instead.

Fun fact but I am a water connoisseur. I can tell water from Dasani, Aquafina, Deer Park, and Fiji. Water does not taste the same.

[Thadeus]

Because tap water is not properly treated.

Do this experiment.

Put tap water in a open glass, and bottled water in another open glass. After 24 hours, taste both waters and see which one has a different taste than it had when it was freshly poured.
