Over the past few years, the overwhelming amount of water bottle usage has grown. Many believe that bottled water is cleaner, safer, and more purified than tap water or filtered water. This assumption has caused people to trust in water bottles, when in fact, water bottles contain at least 24% filtered tap water.

Water bottles are also extremely bad for the environment due to plastic waste. Plastic waste has been an overwhelming issue worldwide. Buying plastic bottles increases the demand for plastic, which in turn uses energy and fossil fuels. Conveniently, water filters are designed to reduce waste within the environment and cut costs. Water filters are environmentally friendly and help extract the contaminants and impurities in tap water.

Water filters are a great way to help do your part in saving the environment!

Water filters can help avoid the mass production of plastic bottles and allow access to safe and healthy drinking water. In Australia alone, over 400,000 barrels of oil are used per year to manufacture plastic bottles. Unfortunately, only thirty percent of the bottles sold are recycled, the remaining end up in landfill or find their way to the ocean. A water filter is a great way to live more sustainably, while knowing your drinking water is safe.

The amount of pollution from plastic significantly damages both land and marine animals, as well as their ecosystems. It also has an affect on human health. Reducing plastic bottle usage can contribute to fewer chemicals being ingested, like BPA. Plastic water bottles contain bisphenol A (BPA) which can seep through and contaminate the water. Exposure to BPA can result in damage to the brain in fetuses, infants, and children. Countries such as Japan have prohibited the usage of the hard plastic “7” due to the dangerous chemicals.

Water filters are a safer and cheaper way to enjoy clean water.

Water filters in your home are built to last, and offer you cost savings. You can save $1 per litre from plastic bottles to 1¢ per litre by using a water filter. Water filters also give you immediate access to filtered water 24/7, right from the tap! Not only is the water filter so easy to access, but the removal of the smell, bad taste, and chlorine are also benefits of buying a filter.

Water filters provide clean great-tasting water in a variety of systems that work for you and your household. Installation is simple, and you and your family will benefit in a variety of ways for years to come.
