Reply to comment by mmphoto412 in Where do yinz buy your bulk drinking water? by illcallyourightback

Understood. And you got me on the energy part. However, you missed the part where I specified 'Spring Water.' If I find a place that supplies Bulk spring water, It wont be coming from "a big ass britta" when I come to switch old bottles out for new. If I wanted purified water, I'd stick to the britta, ya know?

I’m very skeptical that waters claiming to be from a spring are actually from a spring.

I suspect it’s very loosely defined that almost anything would qualify as spring water. If someone else has time to jump down that rabbit hole let me know

This is a fair point too. I am definitely not a hydrologist so you could be correct.

I’m not going to put a lot value in information provided by a bottle water industry trade group

It’s an association that many major water bottle brands are members of, such as Aquafina and Deer Park. The page linked is a quick reference that breaks down types of bottled water, including spring water.

Spring water is not held to as high a standard as tap water. If you want clean water, you’re best off drinking filtered tap water.
