Fonteide, it has a picture of a baby on the back of the bottle.

Most bottled water is fine and to be on the safe side you can always boil it before.

The issue with bottled water is mainly to do with dissolved solids and heavy metal content being low ,most bottled water here complies easily .
I'm not sure of brand but the one with Baby Face on it does , some of the complexes with the water purifying machines (eg Los Geranios ) comply too as they remove a great deal of dissolved solids by Reverse Osmosis .

It tastes disgusting and has a lot of calcium/elements in it.

The water in The Adeje área is drinkable but has very high levels of chlorine and salts
No one I know drinks it
It is safe but general opinion for tourists seems to be your stomach needs to get used to different water so easier to reccommend not to drink it so there is no upset

The Tenerife tap water is treated enough that it is not harmful to drink. Some people won't drink it because of the taste, even some locals.

The taste varies enormously across the island. In my opinion, by far the worst is from the desalination plant in the Valle Santiago. Some parts of the north have beautifully sweet tap water, as good as anywhere in the world.
