In recent years, home water filters have gained widespread popularity. As the logical, most convenient, and most economical solution for high quality water, water filters offer many benefits over tap water and bottled water. Many recent events, like Washington D.C.'s lead announcement and New York City's copepod scare have created new levels of awareness about the need for home water filters.
Home water filtration offers a higher quality water product than bottled water and the convenience of tap water. For less than 10 cents a gallon you can have great tasting, healthy, filtered water for drinking, preparation of beverages, and cooking... all at the touch of a button!
Unlike bottled water, home water filters are required to document the purity of the water they produce. In many states, it is unlawful to make uncertified claims for home water filters. This strict regulation allows consumers a means for accurately comparing and substantiating a water filter's performance capabilities. Certain states, California being the strictest, require manufacturers to have all promotional, advertising, websites, and packaging materials reviewed by the Department Of Health for accuracy, prior to certification. The California Certification is one of the best ways to determine a product's performance capabilities.
Bottled water, on the other hand, is virtually unregulated. The FDA governs bottled water and only requires it to be as good as tap, not better! And the FDA regulations only apply if the bottled water is transported across a state line. Most bottled water is bottled and sold in the same state in order to avoid regulation and accountability.
The home water filter alternative is a far better, more economical and convenient way of getting truly healthy water.
