In a family kitchen, a tech in a black shirt fills glasses at the sink while a teen in glasses and a yellow hoodie sits at the table to taste.
The verdict is blunt. The tap water is some of the worst the teen has ever tasted, and it's what goes into their water bottle every day, so sometimes it gets dumped and refilled at school instead. The bottled water tastes much better. On a scale of 1 to 10, the glass from the tap gets a zero and the bottle gets a ten.
This is probably like some of the worst water I've ever tasted in my life. And that everyday I fill my water bottle up, taste so bad throughout the day. I would sometimes just not drink it all and then refill it with the school water cuz that's how bad it tastes. Compared to bottled water, this tastes so much better than this.
Doesn't even taste bad compared to our sink water. So, what scale of 1 to 10 for the glass? Zero. Not even a three?
No. Four? What about the bottle? Uh 10.

Usually it's the disinfectant, chlorine or chloramine, plus minerals and whatever your home's pipes add. Bottled water is often filtered, so it tastes like almost nothing. Tap water isn't necessarily worse, but if your family won't drink it, a water test shows what's causing the taste and which filter actually fixes it.
