I'm a single health conscious guy and wanted to know what everyone here think is the most economical option for drinking water. The water in my condo tastes like crap. I've even had plumbers tell me not to drink city water. I have a costco membership, sometimes will buy case of bottled water or just drink from my pur water filter jug. Is it more economical for me to continue to drink from my pur water filter jug, bottled water, or shpuld I invest in a water dispenser and buy the huge galls of water from lowes / home depot? I go through a lot of water.

Chlorine kills bacteria, it doesn't get rid of sulfur.
When I was a kid, we used to make napalm out of gasoline and soap and bomb fire ant colonies.

Chemically speaking, pure water (distilled water) tastes flat or meh. It's the impurities (minerals, fish poop, etc...) it picks up that adds to the taste, hard or soft, depending on the region. So by filtering these impurities we alter the hardness of the water making it soft. Or adding more minerals, making it's taste less desirable.

I once saw a sealed bottled water mostly coated with algae inside on a store's shelf.
Bottled water was on sale, so manager took the overstock ones outside in direct sunlight. A lack of proper training on how to store these. (Picture was of an example found on internet, not the actual unnamed store.)
