Portable Filtered Water vs Bottled Water

Bottled water has become one of the largest industries in the world. Over half of all Americans drink bottled water, spending 240-10,000 times more per gallon for bottled water than they do for tap water, a trend largely fueled by the misconception that bottled water is safer or healthier than tap water.

Is bottled water really the best way to get healthy, great tasting water?How do you know about the quality of the water your buying?Is the cost worth it?Controversial reports from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in Washington, DC, and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Gland, Switzerland, say no. Even the Federal agency that regulates bottled water quality, the FDA, says no!

The FDA states: “Companies who market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the American public.”

The best alternative to tap water is water filtration, using a combination of portable water filters, water bottles filter, and in-home water filtration. With these water filters, you can have better than bottled water quality…..for under 10¢ a gallon.

It has also become a target of the environmental community due to the massive amounts of plastic bottles being disposed of from bottled water use.

Bottled water is now a multi-billion dollar business, the fastest growing and most profitable segment of the entire beverage industry. If you currently buy bottled water, chances are it’s because you prefer the taste and trust the quality over tap water, but do you really know what is or is not in bottled water?

Indoor plumbing was one of the greatest lifestyle enhancements in history. We once had to leave our house, transport and store water. Then, we progressed to indoor plumbing and had a continuous supply of water at our fingertips. Now, we are regressing…people are once again transporting and storing water. Instead of walking to the well, we are driving to the store or having water driven to us. Bottled water simply doesn’t make sense, don’t let high priced ad campaignes make you think that it does. Once you know the truth, we hope you’ll join the millions of informed consumers who are “Just saying no” to bottled water!

Water Filtration vs. bottled water… it’s better quality, a much better value, far more convenient… and it’s better for the environment!
