Meanwhile, I think a lot of purified water tastes kind of bitter and metallic compared to my own tap water. I generally don't like purified water unless it's ice cold. I can taste the minerals in tap water of course but it's not unpleasant to me. It probably just depends on the area. I've noticed the tap water in some states tastes really bad by comparison to mine

That's fair. I usually use an off the shelf water filter like a Brita, and run tap water through it. Usually some kind of activated charcoal filter.

IMO, tap water is fine except for all the lingering crap that water treatment adds to it like chlorine. The levels are "safe for consumption" but I pick up on it and it bothers me.

I've also entirely ruined bottled water for myself. I taste the plastic by-products that have leeched into the water from it's container.

I mean, a lot of this I'll still drink, I just won't necessarily be very happy about it.
