Bottled Water Or Water Purification Systems?

In our health and environmentally conscious world, bottled water has become exceedingly popular. The thought has been that bottled water is safer and more pure than our tap water. As a result, untold amounts of money are spent each year on bottled water.

Some research states that in fact bottled water may not be as pure and safe as the consumer thinks it is. In some cases, bottled water may contain some of the contaminants consumers are seeking to avoid by drinking bottled water in the first place. As for environmental concerns, the popularity of bottled water causes many millions of plastic bottles to be made and later fill our landfills with them.

Now what? How can we be reasonably sure that our drinking water is safe? Water purification systems have been invented to have water pass through replaceable filters where contaminants are trapped and pure water is released. Due to the fact that outbreaks of dangerous bacteria can get in to municipal water supplies - home filtering systems have been designed.

Many factors will go into the type of filter system that might be purchased. In the long run, most systems will prove to be more economical. There is a variety of filters available. Faucet-mounted or point of use filters are good if only drinking water is to be treated. There are shower filters, pitcher filter systems, individual container filters, and filter straws available as well. Countertop, under the counter, and under the sink models are also available. Ideally, whole-house filters are recommended.

Whole-house water purification systems are hooked up at the point where water enters a home. All water including shower, bath, and toilet water is purified. Tap water is also purified and safe for cooking and drinking.

There are many health benefits to pure water, not the least of which is the prevention of some cancers and learning disabilities in children that can arise from lead in the water.

The hair and skin becomes softer and the body maintains proper hydration.

Consumers should do their research, determine their need, and then possibly purchase the home purification systems.
