Costs Benefits

• The cost of water from a home filtration system is approximately 78% less per gallon than bottled. Over the long-term, the cost comparison between bottled and filtered can be quite significant.
• Once you own a home filtration system, your only expense lies in changing the disposable filter.

Covenience

• Indoor plumbing was supposed to alleviate for us the inconvenience of having to transport drinking water from the well. Yet today, many people think nothing of carrying in large quantities of bottled water. In addition, this inconvenience is costly; at least well water was free.
• If it's necessary to take water to somewhere, perhaps, the gym or on a trip, it's simple to use filtered water in a refillable water bottle. It's inexpensive and available from a source you can trust.

EnvironmentalConcernsofBattledWater

• "Of greater concern in the WWFN study is bottled water's negative impact on the environment. Packaging materials are often environmentally unfriendly in and of themselves."
