Do you buy spring water, or drink tap water?
I buy spring water occasionally but mostly drink tap. However today it tastes really off, and like a slight pipe taste. I think I'm going to buy more spring water.

I have a Waterdrop RO system..
Then one line goes to the fridge ice maker and water dispenser, which also has a filtration system onboard..
and then for my coffee pot water and water for the pets, I fill a Brita filtering pitcher from the RO unit faucet..
Both ways are double filtration

I catch my own rainwater.
The tap water here is what they call "hard"
Hard water has high levels of dissolved minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium, picked up as water travels through rock like limestone, causing limescale buildup in pipes/appliances, making soap less effective, but also providing some essential minerals for health, with hardness measured by mineral concentration (mg/L). While it creates household cleaning challenges and potential appliance damage
Apart from the toilets and outside taps I run my entire house on rainwater.

Tap water. If I am going anywhere and wish to take water with me on the journey, I fill a bottle from the tap.
If I buy a soft drink while away from home, it will be a fruit-flavoured one of some sort.
On long drives I carry the makings for hot drinks but this still uses water from the tap.

Tap water, always. My country has arguably the best tap water in the world. However, spring water sales have become stratospheric recently.

Unless I am at a food court. I need something with zero sugar nowadays.

Do you have a well or provided ("city") water?

Do you know what kind of pipes you have?
Copper is best and actually helps kill things. You might have galvanized.
You shouldn't have lead, but you could check your water provider's records to see what is supposed to be your connection to the water supply.
Others in your area likely have had issues, so I'd ask around. You might need to filter it.

I have a 22 cup countertop brita, I drink on average of two gallons of water every three days, buying bottled water would be expensive for me, a three paxk of filters costs $14 and I change them out every six to eight weeks, or when I notice the water doesn't taste as fresh, putting in a new filter is massively immediately noticable.
