Tap water is fresh water that's come out of a tap as opposed to being acquired by some other method.

Out the tap water so they say has been through at least 7 other humans! and is cleaned over and over again at the water works, fresh water is from a stream high in the mountains or a spring straight from the ground.

Well, perhaps it's that tap water has definitely been treated at the water plant. It might have additives in it, it might have been run through filers etc. Fresh water, I WOULD GUESS, would be straight from the spring, lake, stream, river, pond, without any treatment. I have had a drink from a mountainside spring in the Adirondacks that was the most wonderful water. I remember for many decades....it was at Raquette Lake, a pipe poking out of a steep hillside...ice cold and so crisp.

Not really sure. Have seen fresh water that I wouldn't drink on a bet and some tap water that I couldn't stand the smell of let alone get close enough to drink, but than some of both that was great. Tap or fresh would not define what is good or bad to me just as some bottled water I wouldn't have in my house.

Fresh water is as it comes from nature, and tap water is adulterated and poisoned by man.

"Fresh" water only means that it's not salt water / brine, such as ocean water, and not brackish by being mixed with ocean water. Tap water should be a subset of fresh water, as it is "treated fresh water" -- at least in the US and Canada. Additionally, that's just "most places" in the US and Canada. I know for a fact that there are places in both countries where tap water is NOT treated and therefore not potable, or safe for human consumption.
