Does Your Water Taste Weird?
It's hard to get an accurate, realistic idea of how good water should taste. Even if you were to go by some whimsical standard like artisanal well water, stone-filtered water from mountainous springs, or the most secure and well-tested purification plants in the world, the water will taste different from different sources. There are helpful and harmful minerals that can affect the taste, as well as substances that do nothing but change the taste.
