Neither bottled or tap water is 'pure'. Both have solutes in them. None of these things are harmful to health.
However, tap water does have a very tightly controlled bacterial count, which can not be guaranteed in bottled water. This is why bottled water is not recommended for babies and infants. I would also not recommend bottled water for this group because some can have a high sodium content.
Filtering only really removes the chloride. Nothing much more. Some people feel that less chloride impacts positively on taste.
Definitely however, in the UK, tap water is safe to drink. (edited)
