What are the differences in waters?
Okay, I’m kind of confused about the whole purification level on water.
I’m under the impression that bottled waters like Dasani and Aquafina are similar to tap water.
But then there’s water with electrolytes added, like SmartWater.
And then the "ultra purified, energized" kind like Penta. The label says it does not contain all kinds of chemicals….
I can notice a significant taste difference in these, but how do they effect your body? Are they different or the same?

Dasani is essentially tap water. The bottling plant takes city water supply (of whatever city the plant is in), filters it, then bottles it. You’ll get the same quality of water with a PUR filter.
Electrolytes are sodium and potassium. Basically, the bottler adds a measured amount of salt to the water. Otherwise, it’s basically Dasani.
I’ve never heard of energized water. I’d imagine it’s probably caffeinated. Ultra-purified though, is not a scientific term, it’s marketing hype. Really good filters can make water very pure, but for the purest stuff, you need distillation. So-called laboratory-grade water is generally distilled three times. But 100% pure water has no flavor at all; It’s the contaminants that make you able to taste water at all.
Health-wise, you’re best off with very pure water with nothing else added. But that gets a bit boring…
