Can I use bottled water, spring water, or tap water instead of distilled water for the experiment?

CIESE - International Boiling Point Project
NO!! It is very important that you use distilled water and not tap or spring water. Depending on the minerals that are present in your tap or spring water, the boiling point could be off by as much as 2 or 3 degrees! Distilled water may also be labeled demineralized water and this is fine to use. In the U.S., many pharmacies and drug stores carry distilled water and it usually costs about $1/gallon.

How does bottled water differ from tap water?

NSF Consumer Information: Bottled Water - Frequently Asked Q...
The source, taste, and treatment methods used are some of the principal differences between bottled water and tap water.

Why must I use bottled spring water for my tadpoles?

Uncle Milton: Customer Care: FAQs: Surf Frogs

These salts help regulate the osmotic processes which are necessary to the tadpole's metabolism. Well water generally contains living organisms. See similar questions...

How is bottled water different from tap water?

Shenandoah Spring Water · Frequently Asked Questions
Consistent quality and taste are two of the principle differences between bottled water and tap water. Quality is in every container of bottled water. It's consistent and it is inspected and monitored by governmental and private laboratories. Unfortunately, tap water can be inconsistent -- sometimes it might be okay while other times it is not. While bottled water originates from protected sources (75% from underground aquifers and springs), tap water comes mostly from rivers and lakes. The U.S. See similar questions...

What is bottled water (H2O)? How does bottled water compare to tap water?

Frequently Asked Questions FAQs
Bottled vs. tap water. Municipal water is used as a source for approximately 25% of the bottled water sold in the United States. However most of this processed water has gone through significant processing such as reverse osmosis, deionization, activated carbon filtration and other treatments. Often it is packaged as "purified" or "drinking water". If the water has not been substantially altered, then it must state on the label that the water comes from a municipal water source. See similar questions...

How can I determine if bottled water is really just tap water?

NRDC: Bottled Water FAQ
Often it's not easy. First, carefully check the bottle label and even the cap -- if it says "from a municipal source" or "from a community water system" this means it's derived from tap water. Again, you can call the bottler, or the bottled water program in your state or the state where it was packaged. See similar questions...

Why can't I just drink tap water or bottled mineral water?

Water Ionizer FAQ
You can, and if you don't have an ionizer you should. But you probably won't get the water habit as both types of water are difficult to drink as your tummy feels full after drinking a little. This is because as the water molecules are arranged in large clusters, the water doesen't flow so well, or hydrate a well as ionized water, which has much smaller clusters. See similar questions...

Where does bottled water come from?

Frequently asked questions about Pure Water Systems from AGU...
Two-thirds of all bottled water today is filtered tap water; the other one-third comes from other sources such as wells or springs. Almost all bottled water is then filtered at the bottling plant and sealed into bottles. Bottled water is not necessarily safer than tap water, as it then sits un-refrigerated in its bottle for indefinite amounts of time, allowing for the growth of bacteria, or leaching of the chemicals that make up the plastic bottles.
