Bottled Water Vs Tap Water

On a hot summer day, boiling hot tap water is not as refreshing as fresh, cold bottled water. Ever since the beginning of time, water has always been an imperative part of our lives for hydration. Even though, it is an important source of hydration, tap water is not as good as bottled water.
