Bottled Water vs. Tap Water

There could be a problem with stream water. Animals relieve themselves in
that stream, upstream from where you are. Pollutants from the air are in
that water also. Even bacteria and other types of microscopic parasites are
living in that water. I do hope that you put disinfectant in that water before
you drink it?
Take this with you.

Some of those are Iodine-based compound (no chlorine) and don't leave a taste at all.

M*W: Yeah, where would we be without it???
there is no difference
Well, I think we're in the process of finding out. Atlanta is one of the leading candidates on loss of water, so perhaps they'll show us the way.
There's a major shortage of clean, fresh drinking water in many, many areas of the world. Yep, I think man is about to see where we'll be without it.

I had 6 brands tested. Most failed miserably. My favorites did not. Tap was horrendous--full of cr@p.
I'll keep on drinking my favorites.

Do you have that? Do you like it? How do you clean it? Bleach? With my travelling all over the country and not staying in any of my places more than a few days, would the filters get moldy from lack of use? Am I better off just buying the bottled water wherever I go?
Reverse Osmosis type of filtering is by far the best and does a superior job
compaired to any other types of filtration systems available today.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reverse osmosis is a separation process that uses pressure to force a solvent through a membrane that retains the solute on one side and allows the pure
solvent to pass to the other side. More formally, it is the process of forcing a solvent from a region of high solute concentration through a membrane to a
region of low solute concentration by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure. This is the reverse of the normal osmosis process, which is the
natural movement of solvent from an area of low solute concentration, through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration when no external
pressure is applied. The membrane here is semipermeable, meaning it allows the passage of solvent but not of solute.
The membranes used for reverse osmosis have a dense barrier layer in the polymer matrix where most separation occurs. In most cases the membrane is
designed to allow only water to pass through this dense layer while preventing the passage of solutes (such as salt ions). This process requires that a high
pressure be exerted on the high concentration side of the membrane, usually 2–17 bar (30–250 psi) for fresh and brackish water, and 40–70 bar (600–1000
psi) for seawater, which has around 24 bar (350 psi) natural osmotic pressure which must be overcome.
This process is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from sea water to get fresh water), but has also purified naturally occurring
freshwater for medical, industrial process and rinsing applications since the early 1970s.

No, you just reverse flush it if you are worried but with active charcoal in it
I wouldn't worry about it.
