There are 6 types of personal-sized Bottled Water. Let's review the labeling and learn about the meaning of each one.
It is true that some types of bottled water are municipal water. However, bottling companies apply additional filtration to the municipal water.
Drinking, Fluoridated and Purified bottled water are treated to remove any particles, toxic minerals and chemicals that may remain in municipal water.
1) Drinking Water
Bottled water labeled “drinking water” is either water that has been partially purified retaining most of its original minerals or water that has been completely demineralized.
To improve the taste, minerals are often added to drinking water.
Replacing the minerals eliminates most of the aggressiveness of drinking water. The occurrence of chemicals leaching from soft plastic bottles is reduced when water is returned to its natural state with the addition of minerals.
2) Fluoridated Water
Fluoridated water is drinking water
with fluoride added.
There are some very strong arguments for and equally strong arguments against adding fluoride to drinking water.
Those opposed to the fluoridation of drinking water contend that fluoride is:
Those in favor of the additive fluoride in your drinking water contend that fluoride:
3) Purified Bottled Water
This water is the purest water; however, it has nothing in it. All the minerals have been removed from purified water.
There are two streams of thought on the benefits of purified water.
1) One stream believes that purified water will neither harm nor help you.
2) A second stream believes that since all minerals have been removed purified water should be avoided.
However, there seems to be agreement on one point. That point is—purified water (with all minerals removed) is an unnatural state for water. It will become aggressive and try to return to its natural state by reacting chemically with any material it contacts.
Purified bottled water displays any of the following labels:
If you do decide to drink purified bottled water—be careful of purified water in soft plastic bottles. Leaching of chemicals from the plastic may occur if the water temperature is elevated or the water has been stored in the plastic bottle for a long time.
4) Mineral Water
The source of this type of bottled water can be uncertain. The source may be tap water or water from a natural source. It is required to have a specific level of dissolved minerals in it before it can be labeled mineral water.
5) Natural Source Water
Natural source water generally contains beneficial minerals. Naturally occurring spring or underground water is the source. This type of water is regulated by the FDA and by the IBWA if the bottler is a member.
6) Specialty Water
Specialty Waters are categorized as beverages. This water includes products with added flavors. The water used may be from naturally occurring springs or tap water.
They are exempt from regulation by the FDA.
You are now aware that there can be considerable differences between one type of bottled water and another. We have also discussed that water stored in plastic water bottles can be a concern, even when caution is exercised.
Water bottled in glass removes most of the leaching concern.

Before purchasing water from a particular vending machine, check with your local health department to determine that this machine is being properly maintained and serviced.
You may select drinking water or purified water. Drinking water does not go through the demineralization stage. Clean glass containers are your best choice for storage.
Water specialty stores that sell only water products generally offer a very high quality product. This quality is based on:
Bulk water stores may offer both drinking water and purified water. Choose the safest option and buy the glass water containers when purchasing water in bulk.
