What kind of water do you give your pets??

Our vet told us that my kitty that recently died had some sort of grainy substance in her system. We searched the house and couldn't find anything that would fit the substance that she might have eaten and it was not litter. So we came to the conclusion that it may have been the tap water and chemicals in it that may have ultimately killed her. My mom now gives her cats bottled water. DH gives our cats tap water, which I asked him not to, I give them bottled water, to which he yells at me because it isn't cheap. But having my cat die and another of our cats, Miss Kitty dying a year ago with kidney issues, I don't want to give our babies now tap water. I am going to get a filter for the tap and hope that does the trick.
