I have different kinds of water at my apartment:
Faucet water, drinking water, distilled water, and spring or mineral water.
These days they tell us we're not supposed to drink rain water.
When I was growing up, we had cisterns into which we funneled water off the roof.
But then Dad used to pour bleach in it to kill germs (birds doo-doo on the roof)
The above-mentioned "drinking" water is municipal water that has been purified.
I suppose the spring water has to be purified also, since it comes from under the ground.
Mineral or spring water isn't really good for your kidneys, since they have to filter out the minerals (primarily calcium carbonate)
TUMS has calcium carbonate.
I make lemonade my mixing lemon juice with drinking water and mineral water AND white grape juice, then putting a couple of artificial sweeteners in it, for a 12 ounce glass.
