Tap Water in a Water Bottle Versus Bottled Water
It is commonly know that we all need to make an effort to drink at least 2 litres of water per day to remain healthy. For those of us that do not work close to a kitchen with a glass and a tap all day, a Water bottle with a cap that can close is the perfect holder to ensure our required water intake.
And in an era where people are more health conscious than ever, almost every alternative person is walking around holding a Water bottle. Go to any public place and you are bound to see someone holding a mineral water bottle; a bottled water bottle or stainless steel water bottles. In fact, it is even cool or fashionable to boast branded water bottles or plastic water bottles with well-known paper labels.
Sporty people who embark on intense physical activity such as golf, cycling or hiking use even more water, because of the fact that they sweat so much. The water replaces essential fluids in their bodies. Therefore, to prevent dehydration, a Water bottle or sports water bottles can be a livesaver (or is it lifesaver) for all sportsmen.
Naturally, all this has spurred a huge debate: is it okay to drink tap water from plastic or other types of Water bottles or is it healthier to drink mineral water from a bottled water bottle? But before one can address these concerns effectively, it is most probably best to first cover the different kinds of water you can put into your Water bottle….
Spring water: When you check what is printed on the labels, you will notice that a bottled water bottle usually contains mineral or spring water. Spring water is collected directly from the spring itself as it rises from the ground and is bottled right there at the source. It might be treated for hygienic reasons. The carriers will normally only buy spring water from suppliers if every bottled water bottle has clear info of the hygienic standards and pollution regulations printed on the labels.
Mineral water: Mineral water on the other hand emerges from the deep underground and first flows over the rocks before it is collected for use. It is only treated to remove the dirt. Because of this process, many believe that mineral water contains more minerals.
Tap water: In most municipal areas, water from the tap is also treated to ensure that it is hygienic and that it meets all the minimum requirements of the general water supply regulations. Very often tap water also contains added chemicals such as fluoride which is even helpful to prevent tooth decay.
In the light of all the above-mentioned, you will come to the conclusion that in the end the water that you should put into your Water bottle, is a matter of personal preference.
Is A Water bottle An Ideal Promotional Gift?
Anyone can do with a Water bottle at some stage (and not necessarily to make a Rocket). For this reason, and because Water bottles are re-usable (not resusable), Water bottles make for great promotional giveaways. It is especially suitable for when your company sponsors sports events.
