Four Major Reasons to Give Up Bottled Water :

1. Tap water in most U.S. states and European countries is basically fit to drink and the quality of tap water  can be easily improved by a simple water filter system so that you get that clean pure taste and added confidence easily .

2. Bottled water is heavy!….even a 6 pack of plastic bottles is a shopping load you can do without and wouldn’t it be good to save on storage space in both the car and home?

3. Home filtered water from your tap is a more healthy and environmentally friendly option. You won’t be refilling those plastic bottles that bought from the supermarket – made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - risking chemical leaching of toxins such as DEHA, a known carcinogen, and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), a potential hormone disrupter. Buying no more bottles can keep the environment health too. Making bottles to meet the U.S. demand for bottled water requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil per year, enough to fuel some 100,000 cars for a year. (NY Times)

4. Bottled water is expensive! The NYTimes says that drinking the recommended daily amount of water can cost an average of $1400 dollars each year – far, far more than using your tap water filtered by your home reverse osmosis system
