Finding the most nutrient dense and healthiest food options is very important, but to some extent, finding quality water to drink is even more important! Some sources of water are contaminated with hundreds of chemicals some of which are more easily absorbed from water than from food. According to a research conducted by the Environmental Working Group, if you are drinking tap water, you are likely to expose yourself to 300+ chemicals and pollutants. Additionally, though some tap water maybe safe it does not always mean tasty water.

Once you understand the uncertainties of bottled water and tap water, home/office water filtration evidently becomes your best option. Some people filter water to improve its taste while other want to get rid any lingering minerals in the water. Others have access to drinkable water but is of less-than-excellent-quality or is coming from an aging/poorly maintained municipal water infrastructure, and thus they want to improve it. Others have access to water that could use one last filtration before making it into their drinking glasses and cooking pots. Filtration systems come in handy such situations.

Water Filtration Systems

Some examples of
water filtration systems include Pitcher water filters which use Granulated Activated Charcoal to reduce chlorine in water; Solid Block Carbon Filters suitable for removing chemicals like pesticides, herbicides and VOCs. Another example is the reverse osmosis water filtration systems which can be suitably connected to any existing water line to continuously supply of purified and delicious hot or cold drinking water.

Benefits of a Home Water Filtration System

Highly cost effective: You get to save a lot when you filter your drinking water in your own home and carry it with a reusable water bottle, to the gym, biking, office or hiking. Moreover if you are running a business e.g. you have an office, bottled/delivered water is likely to cost you $0.79/gal. On the other hand, reverse Osmosis purified water will only cost only $0.02/gal. Thus, by using a RO bottle-less cooler system, you can save up to $ 0.77/gal
Healthy Drinking Water: You no longer have to worry about the quality of your drinking water because you will have complete control to guarantee quality through filtration.

Elimination of Water Hardness: Though hard water is not bad for drinking, it's bad for your bath tub, plumbing systems and appliances.

Leaching Chemicals from Plumbing Systems: You no longer have to worry about your house plumbing leaching chemicals into your drinking water.

Bacteria Re-growth: You no longer have to worry about contamination of water by the distribution pipes as it travels from the treatment plant to homes, offices and other points of use.

Better Tasting Water: Some water filters remove elements from the water leaving it tasting fresh and neutral.

Environment Conservation: Drinking water from your home or office water filter can reduce dependence on bottled water. This in turn reduces the amount of plastics in the streets, which eventually pollute the environment.

It is important to keep in mind that when considering the benefits of home water filtration systems, any water filter is better than no filter – there are no bad systems. What you need to find out is which product represents the best value and produces the healthiest water.
