NOPE.
Bottled water only, either from the store or containers I will up at home and then haul camping with me.
Water from the fresh tank made me sick once, so I stopped drinking from the fresh tank probably 15 years ago.

Yup, just sayin'. Got any proof? Trust those who sell it even tho there is little or no regulation and enforcement?

I agree, except for the source of bottled water. "Purified" water might come from a source exactly as you describe, but "spring" water does not, and can not, come from a source other than a natural spring. For those who insist on bottled water, there should be no option other than spring water.
The fact that it came from a spring does not mean it is pure.
Was the spring from deep, underground water or surface water that percolated through the soil recently? What minerals does it contain? Who tested it and how often and for what contaminants?
Even if it starts out pure, there is the issue of the plastic bottle and often extremely long contact between the water and the plastic.
In 2018, a study examined 259 bottled waters and 93% of them contained micro plastic synthetic polymer particles, according to Frontiers in Chemistry.
