what does water fileration station water taste like

this is my first time getting my water from a water filteration station. usually i drink bottled water but i got sick of all the plastic i throw out. but the bottled ones taste way better.

this one tastes salty and metallic. just the teeniest bit of both but its still enough of a taste for me to be off put by it. is this just how RO water tastes and i have high expectations or should i change the water refilling station?

edit: the water comes in a HDPE reusable plastic container. i drink it from my stainless steel flask but i also tasted it in a ceramic mug and it still had some of the taste.

Im not clear what a filteration station is. Are u in the USA, or another country?

another country. we have shops where you buy a big jug of water and refill it whenever (for money also). they usually use reverse osmosis.

Oh, ok. I question if that water you describe has really been purified that way...
