Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink?

Lately I've been doing so much reading on water that I've decided
not to drink it anymore. Just kidding.

Good grief! Mineral, spring, distilled, sparkling, reverse osmosis,
chemicals added, chemicals removed, bottled in glass, bottled in
plastic, where does it end?

Is there ONE, yes, ONE water that is good for you all the way around?
Free of germy things, clean tasting, refreshing to the mouth that did
not come out of the local toilets after passing through a coffee filter or two?

Can anyone suggest a good water that is not laden with chemicals and
such? I even belong to a water club that delivers water to our home on
a regular schedule, but there are literally dozens of waters to choose from,
so I've been buying the spring water in pretty bottles. (LOL, you tree hugger!)

Also in the market for a good home water cooler with hot and cold water.

Many thanks for any input.

We have a water filter on our refrigerator and I fill a reuseable water bottle that I can throw in the dishwasher. I worry that landfills are being filled with plastic water bottles, so I rarely buy bottled water. I, too, wonder if it's tap water in a fancy bottle.

I drink mostly distilled water that I make at home in glass gallon jugs.....yes, I drink some cold well water outside sometimes from the hose.

If a distiller has a good after filter, it probably is the safest water to drink. I take supplements so I don't worry about missing any minerals. I believe that tea and such tastes better with distilled water. However, it is tasteless by itself...perhaps the only down side.

We found out a few years ago we were drinking Atrazine (herbacide) and Monsanto gave us a tiny faucet and a charcoal filtered tiny tank for under the sink. I hated it! Our water always tasted good. Not too hard or limey. We recently switched to a Britta pitcher. Eventually we will be forced into city water. There are so many farmers irrigating right now that I wonder if our aquifer will be emptied. They talked about piping in the Mississsippi river. NO!
