Hi,
Is there any difference? If there is, it tends to be lost in translation |

I haven't heard agua a beber. The two a's together sound bad. I would suggest
using agua de beber or perhaps agua para beber,

Again, we need contexts, but I'll try a simple reply:
"Agua de beber" is drinking water. The preposition denotes the purpose of the water. - Aquí siempre hay que hervir el agua de beber. We always boil the water we drink. - Se encontró presencia de microplásticos en el agua de beber. There were microplastics found in drinking water. - El agua de beber se obtiene de pozos administrados por el Estado. Drinking water is obtained from State-owned wells. "Agua a beber" is the water to be drank for some purpose. - El agua a beber al día depende de tu actividad física. The water you need to drink every day depends on your physical activity. - Tienes que hervir el agua a beber, si no está limpia. You must boil the water you are going to drink if it's not clean. - Si das agua a beber a tus mascotas, no les des agua mineral. If you give your pets water to drink, don't give them mineral water.
