My local tap water is disgusting. A filter might make it safe to drink, but nothing makes it stop tasting gross. I'll cook with it and drink it with flavoring but I won't just drink it by itself.

depends on your country, here in Mexico we don't have tap water we need to buy water bottles or a water jug. I'm not sure why we don't have tap water really 🤔

Americans! All Americans carry around their bottle of water.

Some places do have truely awful tap water even if it is technically drinkable. I've been places where the tap water reeked of sulphur and no filter would take out the taste short of an RO filter. We always had to buy drinking water there. At the same time though we always bought water in gallon jugs rather than the individual bottles.

I only buy salt that has flouride in it, and I make sure that guests can read the label from where they sit. I call it “Conspiracy Theorist Coverblower“. And I salt very little.
