Many of us include filtered water and bottled water as a must-have item on our grocery list to the United States. Bottled water is often considered a necessity especially with the dangers that can be found in many home water supplies and with the reports that we read of issues with municipal water supplies throughout the United States. Americans are spending over $16 million on bottled water every year even though over 99% of the country has access to tap water that is considered clean.

The production and distribution of bottled water in the United States is expensive from a distribution perspective and a packaging perspective. Bottled water is America’s favourite beverage and it also produces a massive amount of waste.

Switching over to a home tap supply of filtered water can be a far less costly experience for the average American consumer and it can also improve water consumption and helps. With 8×8 ounce glasses of water or half a gallon of water suggested as an optimal serving for the average American, daily intake with bottled water could mean spending as much is $10 on water each day for the average American family. This represents thousands of dollars over the course of the year if a family is consistently buying bottled water.

Picking out a whole house filter and ditching your bottled water can be a far wiser choice. You’ll get access to the same quality of water that you would in a bottle and conveniently out of your. A whole home filter can cost around $800 and filter replacements are just $40. If we consider that the average family of four is spending $10 on water each day with bottled water, switching over to whole home water filtration system could have you saving over $2600 per year with a higher than average filtration change.
