-3 cups to keep the water in
-access to toilet and tap water
-ppm measurer
-bottled water
Methods: I will have each cup filled and marked according to what is in them, I will then measure their parts per million and record them, and collect my data. Results: Tap water: 151 PPM Toilet Water: 154 PPM Ice Mountain Bottled Water: 178 PPM Discussion: This experiment has shown me that tap water is much purer than drinking Ice mountain bottled water. I would have to test multiple homes in multiple places and many more companies of bottled water to say that tap water is for sure purer than bottled water, but I do know that I would rather drink my tap water at home than a bottle of Ice Mountain. A more in depth experiment should be conducted and published, and this experiment has made me curious to learn more about the water we drink and I do wonder if such a report exists. The other information I got was that toilet water is in fact purer than bottled water. I believe the toilet water was less pure than the tap water only because it is often sitting for longer and in an area where waste is deposited. All in all, I believe the experiment was a success and my hypothesis was proven.
