Benefits of a Water Filtration System

Water filters are big business, as is water as a whole. It used to be that you had Alhambra delivered right to your door, then bottled water started showing up in supermarkets, and now you can’t go anywhere without being offered bottled water from the menu. Recent studies show that bottled water is no healthier or cleaner than tap water. The FDA only requires that bottled water be as good as tap water in terms of impurities. So even though you may hear claims about “fresh taste” or “great for you”, bottled water is not all it’s cracked to be. Back to water filters. It’s highly recommended to use a water filter system either on your faucets or in your refrigerator. The best pitcher-type water filters are the PUR Ultimate Pitcher and the Brita Pitcher whose filtration systems remove lead, chlorine, benzene, off-tastes, copper, and sediment.

With the PUR and Brita Pitchers you get close to 40 gallons of filtered water, which lasts around 2 months, before you need to change the filter. For those that don’t like to wait for water to filter through the pitcher, Brita and PUR both have an alternative for you, the faucet mount system. The best faucet mount water filters are also made by PUR and Brita. These are great for people who use more filtered water for things like ice cube, coffee, etc. These faucet mounted filters remove and eliminate metals, off-tastes, agricultural and industrial pollutants. The faucet mount filters give you roughly 100 gallons of filtered water before a replacement is necessary. These systems also have a bypass switch that lets you go from filtered to unfiltered water if you wish. This bypass will help extend the life of your filter by allowing you to use unfiltered water for things like watering plants and flowers.

Bottled water is certainly something that we have become accustomed to at supermarkets, restaurants and coffee shops. People no longer get just a glass of regular tap water for fear of dirty, contaminated water. In many studies bottled water has as many impurities as tap water, but by putting your tap water through a one of our filters you can actually get much healthier water then you do from bottled water. Overall, unless you have a reason to support the $35 billion bottled water industry in the US; it’s ok to drink filtered tap water in your home. When you add up the cost of bottled water, say 1 a day for 30 days – that’s at least $30 a month, versus filtered water, you can save almost $300 a year.
