Home Drinking Water Systems – Save Money & the Environment

Last week we took a closer look at the benefits a home water treatment system can have on your pipes and drinking water. Today let’s talk about the benefits it has on the environment and your wallet.

Bottle-Quality Water Without the Bottle

The temptation to purchase bottled water surrounds Americans every time you pump gas or get groceries. And why not? According to their labels, the water comes from glaciers, natural springs and other pristine locations.

Yet did you know that we spend 240 to 10,000 times more per gallon for bottled water than for tap water?

Add to that the numerous reports that bottled water, claiming to come from these pristine, isolated locations, actually originate from public reservoirs. And don’t forget that according to a report by the Pacific Institute the production of bottled water for American consumption required the equivalent of over 17 million barrels of oil in 2006.

We believe there’s a better way to get clean, pure drinking water straight from your tap. We believe you have a choice.

Green Benefits of Drinking Water Systems

One benefit of cutting down on bottled water consumption, is a green benefit.  Consider the following:

• On top of consuming 17 million barrels of oil to produce, the bottled water industry also produces 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
• It takes roughly 4 ounces of oil to produce a 16 ounce bottle of water.
• 38,000,000,000 (38 billion) water bottles are sent to landfills instead of being recycled.
• It takes 3 liters of water to produce 1 liter of filtered, bottled water.

Don’t Forget About The Money You’ll Save

Aquafina now labels each bottle with “PWS”, which stands for public water source. Meaning the water starts out as regular tap water.

Tap water costs $0.00002 per ounce. If you buy a $1.50, 16-oz bottle of water, you’ve just paid roughly $0.10 per ounce.
