I hate the tap water where I live, so I was wondering if anyone could give me the pros and cons of water filters and bottled water *based on their experience*, because I'm not really finding the answers I want by Googling.

I figured using a water filter such as Brita or Pur is slightly cheaper than buying bottled water, but I am wondering which has less health concerns. I've heard that bacteria building up inside the filter can defeat the purpose of actually using one; and as for bottled water, there are health concerns of using plastic bottles.

Which is better in the long run, do you think? BTW I live in an apartment and probably will for a long time so having a well or some expensive filtration system installed is not an option.

Thanks in advance :)

If you live alone and don't cook a lot, there isn't a lot of difference. Bottled water is more convenient but then you have to keep on buying it, instead of just turning on the tap with a filter. If you're not living alone and you cook regularly, water filter is definitely more economical and convenient. If you're worried about the bacteria building up in the filter, what about the plumbing in your apartment which does not get changed or cleaned at all. A filter cartridge usually last about 50(?) gallons of water so you have to change it every few weeks or few months anyways. One advice, when you run filtered water, try to fill up a few containers at the same time so you don't have to turn it on as often, and the filter can last much longer.
