I've got an RO filter for my drinking water at home. I haven't tried a bottled water that I like as much as my RO tap water. I suspect that even if I filled a plastic water bottle with that water and let it sit for the expected duration a bought one would sit for, it would also not be as good. I don't think plastic is as inert of a material as we like to pretend it is, or that BPA is the only bad plastic chemical to avoid.

    Good for you to have decent tap water!

    But real mineral water is another beast, you can't make that at home.

    There are six stage setups that add back minerals to tap water and I also have the quooker cube which sparkles it. Fab stuff

    Fascinating!

    I have a SodaStream that would be the equivalent of your Quoker Cube I imagine. Do you add minerals to your drinking water?

    I had a filter for my coffee machine where you could tweak what you wanted removed (scale) and how much you wanted the rest filtered, but I have never come across adding things back!

    I have a water softener that then feeds to an RO to make it potable again and that goes to a bunch of mineral "filters" to put back into before going to the tap. Between those is the cube which adds the gas. I know I could buy the syrups and such but typically I only want a water or a touch of Orange added.
