Taste
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

In some places like Madrid, Zurich, Munich, Stockholm and Oslo the local tap water tastes great. In other countries and local municipalities it may taste poor or really bad. But the bad taste can easily be removed through by using a simple\u00a0filter or\u00a0adding citrus fruits. According to several blind tests 9 out of 10 people cannot taste the difference between filtered and bottled water. And if you prefer sparkling water buy a soda streamer or similar product.<\/li>\n

Convenience<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The tap gives you unlimited fresh water from the tap whenever you need it for drinking, cooking, coffee, tea or watering of sensitive plants<\/strong>. If you use a filter then just make sure you replace it frequently and buy a nice refillable bottle for free tap water with you anywhere.<\/li>\n

\n

Save money<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The cost of tap water is usually less than 1\/300 of bottled water.<\/strong> The cost of filtered water when taking into account the cost of the filter and replacements throughout the year is less than 1\/20 of bottled water depending on the volume of consumption.<\/li>\n

Better for the environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tap water is effectively transported to your home with little environmental impact other than the water you take from nature.<\/strong> With bottled water it takes about 2-3 liters of water to produce every liter. But the worst part is the plastic. Although PET is an improvement from previous plastics, most bottles never get recycled and end up in landfills or the oceans. Add to that transportation of bottled water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
